ever failed at being a mom?

If so, you’re not alone.

And to prove it, your MOB Society writers have exposed their hearts about their own failures in their first eBook…

Lindsey Hartz, Hal & Melanie Young, Melissa Smallwood, Laura Groves, Sandra Peoples, Katie Orr, and edited by me (Brooke McGlothlin) bring you:

From Mom’s Failure to God’s Grace: Stories of Raising Boys from the MOB Society Writers

Here’s an excerpt from the book:

The events that had hurt me most in life were the very things God used to show me my need for a Savior. Could it be that the areas we mess up the worst as parents-where we leave scars, wound deeply-are the very things God will use as part of His beautiful plan of redemption for our children?

Could the failures lead to grace?

And a little bit more!

Every dime of the proceeds from this book will go towards ending Bible poverty for the people of the DRC through the ministry of the Seed Company.

As a team, we’ve been praying for the success of From Failure to Grace, but not because we want our names to be great. Our hearts have been broken for the people of the DRC and pierced with the need to bring the hope of the Gospel to them. Would you take a minute to watch the video below to get to know them better?

Warning: This is difficult, but not graphic, subject material. Let it get under your skin and move you to action.

I was first captivated by what is happening in the DRC because of the story-telling approach the Seed Company is taking to reach them. With no Bible in their heart language, and with the severe trauma these people endure, stories of healing and forgiveness are spreading like wildfire throughout the area. The oral tradition is strong among this people group. What better way to reach them where they are than to bring the Word to them through story? God is using the Seed Company to bring hope to a people ravaged by civil war, and peace in the hearts of women and men traumatized beyond what you and I can even imagine.

But that is the power of the Word…

For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. ~Hebrews 4:12

Today, and everyday, when you purchase a copy of From Failure to Grace, you show the people of the DRC that American Christians really see them, and care. And your $2.99 brings the living and active Word of God to them in their language.

Really…you’re joining with God in changing the world.

Tell us moms, where is God showing up with grace for you today?
