The Busy Mom's devotional - A Giveaway

Are you like me?
A mom with small children around who keep you busy? Or maybe you are a mom whose kids are older, who all have very different and very busy schedules, pulling you in all different directions. And then some of you even work outside your homes! Does this describe you?
Then this is the devotional book for you!
The Busy Mom's devotional is written by Lisa T. Bergren. She has written lots of other books so you probably already know her name but just in case you don't,here is some more information about her!



LISA T. BERGREN is the author of twenty-eight books that have sold many more than she ever believed. She writes a lot from the heart and in whatever category that currently interests her–from gift and children’s books to medieval fiction and Bible studies. She is a wife to Tim, an artist, and mother to three phenomenal children–Olivia, Emma and Jack. The Bergrens live in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and worship at Trinity Lutheran Church in Monument. For more specifics on Lisa, see her Web site at http://www.lisatawnbergren.com/.

I love this devotional because it promises NOT to make you feel guilty if you can't get to it everyday. And we all know that Satan does a good enough job of making us all feel guilty enough all on his own. Matter of fact - it is written in such a way that you do one devotional a week. It is divided into the seasons - Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall. When I received it, I began reading at the end of Winter and moved right into Spring. Lisa's stories about her family will warm your heart and you will love how she relates it all so well to our spiritual journey with God.

Another thing I really love about this devotional book is that at the beginning of every lesson, there is a box entitled "Things On My Mind". Because Lisa, she's one of us! And she realizes that as busy Mom's we have a million things going on in our minds at every moment. She also understands that in order to really focus on God we need to have those things out of our minds, so she provides the space to write it all down.

Think this book sounds like just what you need in your life? Go here to buy your own copy!

BUT WAIT! I have a copy to give away! Just leave me a comment and I will draw a name out of a hat. You have until next Monday, April 21st to be entered into the drawing. The winner will be posted next Tuesday, April 22nd.

Lisa will also be giving away 3 additional copies herself. All you have to do is go and sign up for Lisa's newsletter here . And then send Lisa a quick email with "I just enrolled" in the subject line. You can send the email right from the contact page. Lisa will draw names from those who sign up.

You don't just have to take my word on this book, either. Go here to see what other's are saying about it!

  1. well, that book really fits my lifesyle and family....I'm a mother of nine, 4 of which still live at home and 3 of the 4 are teens! There are many days that I feel I should be doing more in my devotionals and many more that I feel guilty that I'm not. I always say that my brain is so filled up w/my kids needs and my five grandkids needs that I don't have a thot to myself. Thanks for the recommendation!
