Katie Hornor, author of Putting on the Spirit, does a great job pulling together scripture and encouragement into a tight little package that doesn’t feel short, quick, or superficial. Her organization is a dream for me. I love it when studies are divided by day. (It’s a sickness, actually.) Her introduction lays out the play so that you know exactly what to expect and how to proceed.Each day has very specific tasks that are designed to help you dig into the scripture and unpack the meaning behind it. Some days suggest writing out scripture while others may have questions that allow you to really focus on application of the concept to your life. Katie has a way of writing it so that it is both general enough to apply to many people while being specific enough that it feels that she wrote it directly to you. The lessons are great for moms everywhere helping us focus on how to be strong or weak, how to find joy in simple, every day tasks, or how to let go of control to find true peace.Katie’s use of the term Super Mom always brings me back to the focus of the study. The key term gives me a touchstone to bring me back to the heart of the study. It’s not about being a Super Mom according to the world’s definition. If we get our perception of who we are supposed to be out of whack it can make it hard for us to remember who we were really designed to be. Super Moms have super powers, right? Our super powers are those character traits. This study helps you strengthen them.
