Mother’s Dozen:  An Easy Recipe for Raising GREAT Kids!
by Joyce Fields

 

FOREWORD

(Foreword written by Rev. Cecil L. Murray, retired pastor of FAME Church, one of the largest churches in Los Angeles)

“Mother’s Dozen” is a handbook of excellence in raising children.  It systematizes the rules passed from generation to generation regarding preparing children for the world to come.

It involves tough love; it encompasses touchy-feely; it establishes fences that keep the wolf out and the sheep safe.  It is common sense, the most uncommon thing in the world, particularly in this present age of negative imaging and self-raised “rug rats.”

The quest is not for something “new,” but for something substantial.  It is here.  Every line brings an “aha” experience.  The head nods “yes.”  The will prods action.

Well done, well done!

Rev. Cecil L. Murray
Pastor, FAME Church (retired)

A review by Janice Boswell of Burbank, California:  “Joyce Fields really hit the nail on the head in “Mother’s Dozen”, why did I not have this book when I was raising my children?  The theories Joyce teaches are basic and yet such important fundamentals especially for new parents to teach their children.  Babies are clean slates when they enter this world & so often parents forget that they, not the siblings, not the teachers, not the peers, but they are the main influence in teaching their little ones to live an independent, productive and reputable life with God at the helm.  Thank you, Joyce; at least I can use these valuable concepts to help teach my grandchildren!

 

Remember:  Mother’s Dozen makes an excellent addition to (or as a stand-alone gift for) all baby showers or as a gift to new parents.  Only 41 pages; $7.99, plus shipping.  E-book is $1.99.  It’s available at http://www.GoodShortBooks.com and http://www.amazon.com!
