But what makes a mother the best mom she can be? \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIt’s not better scheduling. Or more activities. Or less. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIt is passion—the passion to teach, protect, study, and prepare her children for the future. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGreat, but how?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSusan Merrill, the mother of five incredibly different children, has asked that question countless times. And she has read countless answers specific to a certain child’s temperament, age, or situation. But nothing she read offered an overall approach to parenting that would enable her to say with confidence, “\u003ci\u003eI am \u003c\/i\u003edoing this right.” She never guessed she would find a foundational plan—a reliable, universal parenting approach in the Old Testament book of Nehemiah.\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003ci\u003eThe Passionate Mom, \u003c\/i\u003eSusan takes you on a journey through Nehemiah and into the heart of parenting. Her stories and confessions in every chapter reveal what she has learned: no mom can control her child’s future, but every mom can parent well. There is a plan—a roadmap for how a passionate mom can parent almost any child, confidently.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e     \u003cb\u003e\"...This book reaches mothers like me at both the heart level and the head level, showing us how to guide our children passionately and practically...\"\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e--Shaunti\u003c\/b\u003e  \u003cb\u003e Feldhahn, social researcher, national speaker and best-selling author of \"For Women Only\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e       \u003cbr\u003e     \u003cb\u003e“Being a mother is the greatest joy of my life.
