Book Description
In today’s hectic, fast-paced world, many of the old nuggets of wisdom that kept us going or encouraged us to persevere through troubled times seems to have been lost somewhere along the way. In other words, there appears to be a lack of common sense in the world we live in, and it’s time to bring it back into style and practice. Homebaked Wit and Wisdom from Momma’s House: The Resurrection of Common Sense offers the reader a glimpse into wisdom of times past. The author, Beverly Rogers, shares a wealth of advice, short stories and sayings that helped her through tremendous trial and adversity. You may wonder how you forgot some of the resonant sayings from your own childhood. Take time to journal or write your commonsense wisdom on the pages provided for reflective notes. Whether you’ve heard them a million times or are reading them here for the first time, you can be refreshed by a strong dose of old-fashioned common sense.

As I grow older, I realize the importance of these snippets and how I was given the opportunity to use those minute events to grow physically, mentally, and spiritually.The snippets of those events in our lives could be easily overlooked, but they are too important to remain hidden in our memories. It is the snippets that define who we are. It is in the snippets we learned how to expand our creativity, how to love one another, how to deal with our own children, how to forgive, and how to appreciate God's plan for each us.God used our parents' responses to our wild adventures and many mistakes to teach us many of these lessons. One must always be vigilant to God's will. God uses every situation as lessons, but it is up to the individual person to learn from those lessons.It is me again, Lord, thanking You for the blessings of life lessons You gave us in which to grow physically, mentally, and spiritually.A little Georgia wisdom: Always be open to the lesson God provides in each situation. In doing so, one will enjoy this journey through life a whole lot more.

Book Description
With the seemingly insurmountable pressures placed on families today, many parents lack the spiritual foundation and practical knowledge to chart a clear-cut course in child-rearing. Parents question whether nurturing their children's souls is even possible in the fast-paced materialistic culture in which we live. Utilizing the insight that springs from her knowledge of Torah wisdom, her personal experiences and the experiences of those she has counseled, Slovie Jungreis-Wolff, a longtime parenting coach and advisor to young couples and families teaches in detail how to approach the entire gamut of issues, with a special emphasis on strengthening the child's morality and character. Parents will learn how to: • Instill simchas hachayim, "true joy," in their children • Value chessed, kindness, in a self-absorbed world • Create a mikdash me'at, a home filled with calm and reflection • Teach children gratitude and appreciation • And much more... From discipline to sibling rivalry to effective communication skills, Raising a Child with Soul offers unique concepts and pragmatic ideas that can be understood and applied to both Jewish and non-Jewish households.
