Marilynn's book - Mom's Little Black Book
As our youth graduate high school and head out into the world, many
parents wonder if they've done all they can.
Is there one more thing we can do before our youth spread their wings
and fly the coop? Is there one more bit
of advice we can offer to ensure that they'll be equipped for the road
ahead? The answer is YES!

"Mom's Little Black Book," by Marilynn Dawson is a
short, inspirational read that blends quips, Bible quotes, meditation
opportunities and 'light' reading for the teen who is about to leave home to
start life on his/her own.
Divided into 6 subheadings (spiritual, household, personal
care, interpersonal, grocery and financial), "Mom's Little Black
Book," offers teens exclusive rights to all that Mom knows and is willing
to share about living life with spiritual grounding and a super clear focus.
Consider these helpful hints:
"Help those who are in need. One day it could be
you."
"Clouds are very emotional creatures. They cry at
special occasions."
"Racism is pointless. Look at the Panda.! He's black,
white and Asian, and everyone loves him!"
"You are the only Bible some people will ever
see."
"You know you're tired when you put the dishes in the
fridge and the milk in the sink."
"Talk to God. He loves to hear about your day and how
you feel.""Remember prayer is a fancy word for communication between you and God. Give him time to respond."
"Don't hoard God's blessings for yourself. You may just be the delivery conduit."
If one of your children is leaving home for college this
summer, or getting married, or perhaps they have just decided it's time to live
on their own, "Mom's Little Black Book," is for them.
Instead of talking until you're blue in the face about what they
should and shouldn't be doing to remain a strong, active Christian, give them
this book.Contact Marilyn
