Stepping Stones for Stepmoms

by The Momma

stepping stones for stepmomsA day late and a dollar short…

This should have gone up yesterday but I got busy and totally spaced it so please forgive my slacker ways.

I was so excited when Karon Phillips Goodman asked me to host a day of her blog tour for her new book ‘Stepping Stones for Stepmoms’. Originally I was going to do a short interview with the author but after reading the book I decided to do a review of it instead. The book is pretty amazing. I knew I was going to like it after I read the first page of chapter one, which quotes my favorite scripture…

‘Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.’ ~ 1 Corinthians 13:4-7

The book offers quick, easy to read chapters filled with sound advice on how to navigate the sometimes stormy waters of stepmotherhood. Things like ‘Dealing with Anger’, ‘Overcoming Fear’, ‘Gaining Understanding’, and ‘Giving Gratitude’. At the end of each chapter is a section to record your thoughts, a special prayer, and a small spot to record God’s response to that prayer.

Stepping Stones for Stepmoms is filled with motivational scriptures and reminds us that if we ask for help we will receive it. I’m so grateful Karon asked me to host a day of her blog tour otherwise I may have never found her book.

You can check out more about Karon at her website

Be sure to check out the rest of Karon’s blog tour…
