Shadows

Here, you’ll find a home for your heart where everyone understands you. And so much more…

  • Laughter
  • Prayer
  • Teaching
  • Training
  • Practical Application
  • Room to grow
  • Friends who understand
  • A place to be heard
  • An opportunity to contribute
  • A chance to give back
  • The best boy resources on the market today…

So take a minute to look around our new digs. Here are some things we think you won’t want to miss!

  1. Our new book club! (We’ll announce our first book and dates later this week!)
  2. New submissions guidelines (we can’t WAIT for you to read those!)
  3. An opportunity for EVERYONE who subscribes to the MOB Society (even those who already do) to get a free copy of Hope for the Weary Mom (make sure to look at the bottom of your subscription email or reader for details. And if you don’t already subscribe, why not?)
  4. A brand new eBook from the MOB Society writers!

We’re so excited about the release of From Mom’s Failure to God’s Grace: Stories of Raising Boys from the MOB Society Writers that we’re throwing a big Twitter party tonight to celebrate it! Join us from 9-10 EST for great prizes and tons of fun using the hashtag #mobsociety. Help us spread the word about this awesome ministry to mothers of boys and enter to win some cool prizes!

The book officially goes on sale TOMORROW (2/7/12) for just $2.99 on your Amazon Kindle. And it’s really important that you purchase your copy TOMORROW before midnight EST, because when you do, you’ll be invited to an exclusive, private, online chat with the MOB Society Writers! We’ll share more about that tomorrow, but go ahead and mark your calendars NOW and get ready to hit purchase! (Remember, every dime of the profits of this book goes to end Bible Poverty for the people of the DRC. No Kindle? No worries. Download the free Kindle App here.)

Are you ready for our first giveaway??? (we’ll be doing this alllll week!)

The next book in the Lion of War series, Covenant of War, is being released March 6th, but we have FIVE copies to giveaway to you today! This series, by Cliff Graham, is a novelization of the stories of David and his mighty men found in 2 Samuel 23 through 1 Chronicles 11.

Note: Brooke and I both LOVED the first book in this series, Day of War, but want to caution you as mothers that these books are quite graphic and violent {as are the actual biblical accounts} and to read them for yourself before passing them along to your sons 18 and under.

To Enter:

1. Share about the MOB Society re-launch on your Facebook page. Say anything you want about this place for moms of boys, but make sure you use an in-status link. (In order to do this, you’ll need to make sure you “like” the MOB Society on Facebook first). Here’s an example of what it could look like:

“Boy mom? Go check out what’s happening at @themobsociety this week as they re-launch their online community for mothers of boys! It’s THE place on the web for all things boy.” (And a link back to this post).

2. Share about the MOB Society re-launch on Twitter. Make sure to use our Twitter name (@themobsociety) and our popular hashtag (#mobsociety) in your tweet with a link back to this post. It might look like this:

“Boy mom? @themobsociety is re-launching their community for mothers of boys today! Go check out their awesome new site & amazing giveaways! (link) #mobsociety.”

When you’re done, make sure to come back here and tell us in the comments that you entered! That’s it!
This giveaway is open until 10:00 p.m. CST, Tuesday, February 7th. Five winners will be chosen at random and notified via email!

 

Welcome friends! (And a HUGE thank you to Amy Bayliss and Lisa Boyd of DIY Ministry for our beautiful new home!)

  24. Faye says:

    Congrats on the new site!! Can’t wait to continue to learn more and tap into the resources you provide. Last night I was on my knees in weariness after the weekend (I have 3 boys – 7, 5, and 3 months) and opened my Warrior Prayers book to the “What Are We Aiming For?” chapter. It totally spoke to my heart and reminded me of my need to PRAY for God to turn my boys’ hearts (and mine) into hearts of flesh and not hearts of stone. Nothing *I* do will do that…it’s all God’s work. So THANK YOU for the gifts you share with us.

    I just discovered you today and am so excited to have found this great community of Christian boy moms, just like me! I’ve already downloaded the Warriors” ebook and can’t wait to start praying more specifically for my two little men (Caleb, 2, and Josh, 1). I shared on FB & Twitter and would love to be entered into the drawing for those books!

    Have you seen “The Action Bible” (edited by Doug Mauss and illustrated by Sergio Cariello)? Do you accept reviews of boy-friendly Christian resources? Our Caleb is loving the illustrations and having Daddy read this children’s Bible to him!

    Shared on facebook! ps I subscribed for e-mails and it said something about getting your book but the bottom of the e-mail only says something about an e-book. I don’t have an e-reader so was hoping it was an actual book : ) Thanks for all your encouraging “boy” messages!
