Julie Barnhill knows moms. In her vast speaking experience she has heard it all when it comes to the frustrations of motherhood, and she knows what moms want. Just as she did in One Tough Mother, Barnhill meets moms where they are and offers them hope and encouragement in the tough times. Each of these compact, giftable books is filled with personal stories, Scripture, advice, and humor that will help moms cope and even laugh out loud in the face of mothering challenges. Specially designed for busy moms, these little lifesavers are the perfect gift for any mom with any age kids.

As a mom, you get a lot of advice. TV shows, magazines, friends, your mother (and mother-in-law) are all telling you the best way to raise your kids. But all this well-meaning counsel can paralyze you. Enough already! Unapologetically raucous and refreshingly relevant, One Tough Mother gives you ten nonnegotiable ways to stand firm and be the mom. With a sharp wit, Julie offers you a dose of reality and a healthy way to step up and be the mom. She shows you how to:

* say no like you mean it
* stop overanalyzing every tiny detail
* enhance the fun factor in your home
* communicate truthfully and effectively with your child
* save yourself from scrapbooking madness
* and more ways to be confident, loving, and in charge

Book Excerpt:
I think you're going to click with more than a few things in the following pages because, despite fleeting moments of 15-minute fame with Oprah, Dick Clark, and Dr. James Dobson, my life isn't all together--not by a long shot. There are relationships that aren't quite what they should be, and most, if not all the blame can be placed on me. There are specific temptations, grudges, vices, and selfish motives I know in my head and heart are wrong, yet I find myself succumbing to them time and time again...truth is, I am a mess. I've forgotten my children, said I'd do one thing than did the direct opposite, and have eaten 15 Hostess Chocolate Ho-Ho's in one sitting. And why did I do that? Because I am not simply a mess, I am a mess of magnificent proportions!

Here's the truth-pure and simple: I wrote this book for losers. Bent, broken, and frustrated, financial losers who've stopped purchasing money guides and attending high priced seminars led by cheesy promoters, often times "christian" promoters, promising health, wealth, and prosperity at every turn.

You will not read any " name it and claim it" miracle theology in the pages of this book. The only miracle involved with Til Debt Do Us Part is that I stopped worrying, shopping, or finagling long enough to get it written and that my husband Rick actually talked with me about his "feelings" regarding money.

Til Debt Do Us Part has been written with the authorities and experts in money mismanagement in mind. Those poor souls (pardon the pun) suffering with undiagnosed symptoms of C.F.F. (Chronic Financial Failure). For anyone who has ever mutilated a checkbook statement, spent money they didn't have, and charged items on a credit card-just because they could--this books for you! And it's for all the debtly sinners-too tired and too broke to wave a flag of surrender and who can muster at best a garbled plea of, "God, have mercy on a poor financial loser like me."

Tens of thousands of moms who struggle with anger have found hope, laughter, understanding, and biblical counsel in She’s Gonna Blow! With over 100,000 in print, this bestseller now has a fresh cover and a new practical helps section with more resources and step–by–step advice. Straightforward and easy–to–read, She’s Gonna Blow! is for every mom seeking here–and–now hope and help to find healthier ways of expressing anger, let go of “control” issues and implement strategic choices for a more peaceful home and heart.
