Heaven In Her Arms by Catherine Hickem {BookSneeze Review}

by

Heaven in Her Arms: Why God Chose Mary to Raise His Son and What It Means for You by Catherine Hickem is an AMAZING book.  This one really makes you stop and think.  Written in an enjoyable and thought provoking style, Heaven in Her Arms brings to the reader a look at Mary and God that most never consider.
Heaven in Her Arms takes a look at Mary as the untouched virgin, God’s choice in a Mother for his son.  It shows Mary as mother to Jesus.  Mary – there the day Jesus was born, there the day he was crucified – from first to last breath.  Mary is the Mother we all wish to be.

As a Mother, I found this book touching, bringing tears both for Mary as a Mother watching her son grow, knowing his life would be short but that he’d been brought to save the world.  What an AMAZING gift to give the World!  I can only imagine the joy and pain she felt in raising this man but this book definitely helps to bring that image to life!

This isn’t just a book on Mary’s gift but a book that leads as a guide to Mother’s everywhere.  A six-week Bible study is provided inside the book to be used for personal use or in group studies.  Heaven in Her Arms provides an experience like none that I’ve personally known before.

Heaven in Her Arms is a Thomas Nelson book and is priced at $15.99.  This book would make an amazing Christmas gift for Mothers of any age, as well as Christians everywhere.  It’s definitely one of my favorite books.

Regret Free Parenting {Booksneeze Review}

by

Written by Catherine Hickem, LCSW
Published by Thomas Nelson Publishers
List Price: $15.99
Catherine Hickem, founder of Intentional Moms, wrote the book Regret Free Parenting as a guide based upon her nearly 30 years of experience from raising children to her ministry to other women.  She is a motherhood expert who has devoted her life to helping other Moms raise exceptional children. 
In her book, Mrs. Hickem shows parents how to raise children without regret by being an intentional parent.  She explains how to equip your child with confidence, allowing children to learn by relative consequence and strong guidance. She teaches parents the difference between being a controling parent and being an intentional parent by providing seven parenting principles.  Each of the principles discuss how to prevent insecurities, teach respect, raise good teens, and much more.
I believe that during times of distress God provides the perfect guidance in many ways.  For me, this book could not have come at a better time as I was going through some tough parenting issues with my strong-willed middle child.  I had been searching for the perfect remedy to help our relationship and allow guidance for my child.  Regret Free Parenting gave that to me when I needed it most.  Through this book, I was able to learn techniques that helped me overlook some of my relationship issues with my daughter and correct other issues we had.  Since implementing the steps and ideas listed throughout the book, our relationship has grown in a better direction making our lives much easier, day by day.  I feel that Regret Free Parenting has helped strengthen my parenting skills.
