Mothering like the Father is easy to read, provides practical advice, and even offers questions at the end of each chapter that can be used for personal reflection or discussion with your spouse or friends.  I’d highly recommend you read this book, which can be found on amazon or at www.motheringlikethefather.com.

By day, elementary school janitor, Morris Jackson, leads an ordinary, peaceful life.  And by all accounts, his nights should be calm, too, as he unknowingly dreams of Eden.  But, as Adam and Eve come to life in a way that surpasses my preconceived notions of this first couple, tensions mount as Morris becomes grossly aware of the fall that is about to happen.

Kirsten weaves the tale in a way that helps you gain a better understanding of Eve, while leaving you wondering how the real-life nightmares Morris finds himself in will unfold.
