ABOUT THE BOOK

Title: Moms Raising Sons to Be Men
Author: Rhonda Stoppe
Publisher: Christian Audio
Release Date: March 9, 2021
Genre: Nonfiction / Christian Family / Christian Living

Mothers of boys have the special calling to shape future men of God. Popular speaker Rhonda Stoppe, mom to two sons, knows this opportunity is a challenge, a joy, and probably the most important work of a woman's life. Drawing from years of ministering to youth and to women and from her own parenting experience, Rhonda provides refreshingly relevant guidance, biblical and contemporary examples, and humorous insights to help each listener discover how to guide a son without hovering and smothering; how every action and choice can serve a godly goal; ways to communicate so a boy will listen and be heard; and God's power and grace to become-and give-her best.

Packed with practical help from parenting experts and other moms, this inspirational resource will revive the faithfulness and fortitude a woman needs to partner with God as they shape the character and heart of a future godly man.

My Review 🖤

I have been blessed to be the mom of two amazing boys, but there are times I wonder if I am doing it right. I have always been a girly girl by nature, so when I ended up with all boys to raise it was a little bit of shell shock, to say the least. Luckily I have learned on the job, and grew with them, but I wish I would've had a resource like Moms Raising Sons to Be Men when they were younger. However, I am thankful that I have this resource now and can still apply many of the applications to my parenting arsenal, even with my boys being teenagers.

Moms Raising Sons to Be Men is full of practical applications and helpful Scripture references that led me to further study, going even beyond parenting. I listened to the audiobook, but I am seriously considering purchasing a physical copy so I can take more notes.

One thing I loved about the audiobook was how calming Rhonda Stoppe's voice is! This book was perfect to listen to while driving to appointments, and brought up so many good points that got me really thinking about how I parent my boys, and adjustments I can make to help them better become men, while at said appointments. Rhonda has a good pace, the different sections are easy to recognize, and I never felt myself lost, even with having to start and stop several times.

One of the biggest parts that has continued to stick with me was letting my boys go, and trusting that God will take care of them. My boys are 16 and 14, so the thought of them leaving the nest is very real, very scary, and happening sooner than I'd care to admit. The thought of them being out in this scary world alone is frightening! But I've always had a strong faith for myself, so why wouldn't I have that same faith with my boys?

Listening to Rhonda was like listening to a friend give advice, and discuss their faith and the Bible, and I could see this being a wonderful resource for a Christian mom group, as well as for personal study. I can't rave about Moms Raising Sons to Be Men enough and highly recommend!
