I have placed my review for the book on three sites, Barnes & Noble, Amazon, and Christian Book. Here it is:
"As a mom of five boys, I’m always looking for resources on raising kids. I love to read, and I have all kinds of books on kids and marriage. Even though they are wonderful, what I really need is something to help me, personally, as a woman.
Jill
Savage’s new book, “No More Perfect Moms – Learning to Love Your Real Life” is
just the “medicine” for mothers who feel that they “have to be” perfect and
might be discouraged when they aren’t. Jill is a mother, herself, so she has
experience, and that even makes the ideas in this book more authentic and beneficial
to the reader. She encourages the reader to step away from trying to be perfect,
and step towards being real. She addresses many subjects where we tend to
expect perfectionism; our bodies, marriages, kids, homes, homemaking, and everyday
life.
This
is an awesome book! It reminded me that, in expecting perfection from myself, I
also expected it from other people (my family included), and that places
expectations on others they just cannot live up to. Savage ties it all together
with a chapter about our perfect God, and a great appendix on “Where to Find
Help When Feeling…”
I
would certainly recommend this book to any and every woman. I think it’s great
to read alone, and it would also be excellent as part of a book club, or Bible
study group. It’s helped me look at things differently, and has been very inspiring
and positive."
Being on the launch team, I was given an autographed copy of the book, and it's so awesome that Jill took the time to sign them all, to personalize them for each of us. Even though I read the book online, I still plan on sitting down with the hard copy in my hands and reading it again.
Jill Savage is the real deal! I would encourage you to go over to her website at: http://www.hearts-at-home.org. You will find encouragement!
