"Gospel-Centered" says it all
Sara Wallace does a fantastic job remaining biblically accurate and gospel-focused in this &#34;mom's guide.&#34;  There are several things about this book that I really appreciate:<br /><br />1. The way the book is structured is very intelligent as Sara moves from ensuring that we have a proper understanding of the true and unadulterated gospel before moving into applications of this gospel in the life of being a mother.<br />2.  The chapters that explain the true gospel and detail false gospels (gospels of legalism) are done so very clearly and the content is much needed truth in today's church.  As parents, we need a true understanding of salvation by grace alone through faith alone and we need to teach it clearly to our children.<br />3. The way the book is broken into 14 concise but thoughtful chapters makes reading through it as a busy mother more feasible.  Each chapter left me with thoughts to dwell on and prepared me theologically for the following chapter.  The review questions are great for private reflection or a group setting.<br />4.  The content on teaching children the importance of looking to Christ for grace and forgiveness instead of hammering rote behaviorism was very relieving to me as a mother.  We aren’t aiming for Pharisees who obey out of self-righteousness, we are aiming for believers who worship Christ and obey through a changed heart that only God can provide.<br /><br />I will definitely be recommending this book to many mothers of all ages.  I think the gospel focus that this book maintains is beautiful and vitally needed in the church in America today, where we are more apt to entertain goats than to feed sheep.  This is not a book on how to be the perfect mom.  It’s a book on how to look to Christ and the beauty of the gospel, and let the gospel flow out of us as mothers.
