Have you ever sinned against your sons?  If you’re like any one of the M.O.B. Society writers, you have, more than once.

But there’s beauty from ashes in this Christ redemptive relationship. An unfair trade–we get His grace and mercy, and He gets our filthy rags.  Not fair, not for Him, but life-altering for those who embrace Him.

We’d like to share some of our mistakes, sins, with you.

Here at the M.O.B. Society, we don’t profess to be parenting experts.  We don’t invite you to come here each day to find in these words the only way to parent your children.  We do our best to point you to the hearts of your children, sometimes reaching deep and long and wide across the canyon of behaviorism to see their real and true need for a Savior. But we mess up on a regular basis.  And those failures are often what God uses in our lives to bring ultimate victory.

I wrote a little piece on my personal blog called The Important of Sharing Your Story and we’re taking that to heart here.  Because, like the woman at the well (John 4:25), we’ve all shouted at one time or another…

COME SEE A MAN!

So we’re writing a book for you.

A book about a man who took all our parenting failures and turned them into something beautiful.  With chapters from the M.O.B. moms you’ve come to know and love, each sharing a significant failure coupled with significant grace–our new book is bound to bless and encourage you.

We’d like your help along the way friends.  We have questions like,

• What would you title our book?
• Would you like to see study questions in our book?
• Are there other suggestions you might have?
• Will you help us pick a design for it?
• Will you help us promote it?
• We’d like to give the proceeds from it to a worthy Christ-centered ministry that reaches out to boys. Do you know of one?

We’d love your thoughts and encouragement along the way and we’ll be keeping you up-to-date with our progress.  What are your thoughts so far?
