Pre-Order Hoodwinked and Get FREE Stuff!!!

Are you struggling to survive as a mom? Have the lies that our culture perpetuates about motherhood dragged you down? Well we need to knock it off! Lies such as “I am my child’s choices” tempt moms to mistakenly believe that if their child makes a wrong choice then they, in turn, must be a bad mom. Well it is time to stop believing those myths and start walking in the truth! Pre-Order Hoodwinked today & Get TONS of Free Goodies!

Women today are bombarded by false ideas of what it means to be the perfect mother: the mom who not only drops her kids off at school in a trendy outfit and with her makeup flawless but who actually does all of the things she pins to her Pinterest boards! That’s what it means to be a good mom, right? WRONG! It’s time for moms to realize they’ve been hoodwinked! There is no such thing as the perfect mom! June Cleaver of yesteryear was not real and neither is today’s Pinterest-perfect image of a mom. It’s time to stop believing the lies and start living the truth.

Author Karen Ehman and and I have joined forces to knock seemingly perfect moms like Mrs. Cleaver off their pedestal in Hoodwinked: Ten Myths Moms Believe & Why We Need to Knock It Off.  We have had enough of the misconceptions and want to expose the myths that are overwhelming moms everywhere. Myths such as: “the way I mother is the right (and only) way,” “motherhood is natural, easy and instinctive,” or “my child’s bad choice means I’m a bad mom.”

Theologian Charles Spurgeon said it best, “Discernment is not knowing the difference between right and wrong. It is knowing the difference between right and almost right.” Some of these myths seem almost right, but they are still dead-center wrong. And they can mess with our mothering in the most awful of ways.”

This book will help you:

  • Identify the ten myths of motherhood our current culture perpetuates
  • Replace the lies with the truth of what God says in the Bible about mothering
  • Acquire practical tools to help you form new and improved thought patterns and healthy behaviors
  • Forge healthy, supportive relationships with other moms of all ages and stages
  • Confidently embrace the calling of motherhood as you care for your family in your own unique way
