Do you know what it takes to be a peaceful mom? Or do you live in a very stressful house.  April Cassidy has written this book filled with Bible verses, personal stories, and lots of practical advice to help bring peace.

The Peaceful Mom was written in two parts, the first about your relationship with God, and the second one about how to parent on a daily basis.  There are also four appendices, which include more information about having a relationship with God.

My thoughts-

All of the pages in this book are full of information.  I could and should look at this book a few times a year to make sure I am taking advantage of the advice given by Cassidy.

I really liked how this book was divided into two sections, with one section about the relationship between God and myself and the other about parenting on a daily basis.  My favorite chapters were about avoiding mistakes and modeling respect. 

I liked:

• Cassidy’s personal stories and that of others.
• the Bible verses with lots of text to make it relevant to me.
• the prayers at the end of each chapter.

I would have liked to have:

• questions at the end of each chapters, so I could have a way to move forward.
• information at the end of that would recap the most important parts of the chapter.

I recommend this book to others.
