Freedom. We long for it. We fight for it. We will do anything to get it.
Yet sometimes we forget to live in it!
This weekend while our family celebrated the freedom and independence of our country, I was reminded what freedom means and how easily I take it for granted, especially as a Christ-follower. Yet Jesus said, “If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.“John 8:36
In Christ we are free!
- Free from guilt that weighs us down and sin that holds us back.
- Free from labels that define us and doubts that limit us.
- Free from grace-less expectations and obligations.
It was for freedom that Christ set us free. (Galatians 5:1). Let’s take hold of this truth, and LIVE #FREE in the power of HIS promises and the purpose of His plans for our lives!

FREEDOM from Mommy-Guilt
Do you look at other families who seem so “put together” and wonder why your’s doesn’t isn’t? Does mommy-guilt over your child’s “issues” ever keep you from enjoying motherhood and where your kids are in their journey of growing up?
There have been times when I could answer “yes” to both questions. And during those days or weeks, or months, I miss out on what God has for me as a mom.
One of the best gifts we can give ourselves is GRACE to have an imperfect family and be an imperfect mom. And one of the best gifts we can give our children is to set them FREE to be all that God has created them to be—not forcing them to live out our dreams or comparing them to our friend’s kid.
Jill Savage and Kathy Koch have written a guide to help parents truly appreciate their kids. One thing I love about this book is their goal to teach us how to study and become an expert on our children, knowing that we cannot fully embrace them until you truly know them.
- Identify and remove the Perfection Infection from our parenting.
- Really know each child so we can fully embrace their unique design.
- Release our children from unrealistic expectations.
- Answer the questions our kids are silently asking in a way that gives them the courage and freedom to be themselves.
Written in a passionate, candid, and personal way, the authors will instill within you hope and contentment. You’ll be inspired to apply the practical, realistic, and relevant ideas and tactics Jill and Kathy share. (Leaders Guide included in back of book.) And thanks to Jill and Kathy’s generous publisher, I’ve got 5 copies to give away!!

Limitless Life
I would like to win the book. I gave four kids and feel like I could do better or am I to hard on them. Reading books about children are great. I am also a teacher and wondering maybe this will help in both done how. I am always praying to be a better mom. And being a pastors wife you think your kids need to be perfect. Lol Thanks I hope I win this book. It would mean a lot.
Either.
You are more than your past..
I would love to have either. I have a 15 year old with downs syndrome and a 19 year old who keeps me on my knees praying. So both books would be a blessing to me.
My heart crys for books, books and more books. I love to read and I love to share the books I have read. The books would be ideal for me. Thanks for considering me for this give away.
Either would be wonderful! I’m struggling in many areas. I would love to learn how to live without doubting myself and to experience freedom from guilt and anger. Thank you for your books and online encouragement. Your transparency and wisdom help many women!
I would love to bless my sister with some great summer reading.
Either.
I would love the book. I have ADD, so I definitely need something I can go back to for the info!!! 🙂
In having ADD, this book would definitely be a FANTASTIC resource for me!!! I struggle with this more than I can begin to explain. THANK YOU for the great giveaway!!!
Either! Both will be A BLESSING!

Either. As my oldest is getting married this fall, I have been reflecting and questioning my walk and my parenting. What are my stumbling points? Do I hold unrealistic expectations of myself, my husband, my kids? What legacy am I passing on? Is it one of freedom or bondage? Am I a chain breaker or a chain maker? With 4 young ones still at home these have become very important questions in my mind. I would love some help and direction.
EITHER — I would love to read both of these books.
Either book would be an amazing blessing! I am so thankful for Proverbs 31 Ministry for me and for my older daughter. God is a God who knows our needs. Thank you!
Either – always eager to be better equipped for battle! Thanks so much for this opportunity!
Either. I become a first time mom to our son in 5 weeks-God is always working on my heart molding it into who he designed me to be.
No more perfect kids. Who doesn’t welcome some positive advice on raising these kids we love so much, but sometimes have such a difficult time understanding. Thanks for the opportunity.
Either
I would love this book! I am both blessed and challenged with a blended family… I constantly seek Godly wisdom and insight on how best to raise all of my kids.
