Everything changes the day you
discover you're going to be a mom. It's not just yourself that you think about—you
have a child to care for, too. While you wouldn't trade your child for the
world, some days are just hard. Baby-daddy drama, dealing with your parents,
and worries about school, work, and your future slam you. Your friends can't
relate to your little family, and you wonder if God has turned His back on you,
too.
Tricia Goyer understands.
A mom at age 17, Tricia remembers
what it felt like to carry the weight of the world on your shoulders. She's
also been the coordinator of a teen mom support group for over twelve years,
and she's cheered on many young moms—from all walks of life—through their
journey.
In Teen Mom, Tricia
pours out her heart and shares advice for the hard things you face. She also
longs to provide encouragement, reminding you that you can be the mom your
child deserves—not in your own strength, but in the strength God provides.
TEEN MOM is nonfiction, geared to
teen moms. Ms. Goyer is brutally honest in the pages of this book, sharing her
own heart-breaking story of how she became a teen mom, how she felt, the trials
she faced, etc. Teen mom’s will be able to relate to her honesty and vulnerability
in the pages of this book.
When a Christian writer goes through
a traumatic, life-altering event, it serves to give the author a heart for God
to share His love, mercy, and grace. Ms. Goyer shares how teens need God, how
they won’t find love in the arms of a hormone-raging boy who is only interested
in sex and not in forever. She reminds girls to hold out for marriage if they
haven’t, warns what the consequences of sex may be, and also ministers to those
who didn’t wait and found themselves pregnant.
My teen daughters are not teen
mothers, but I am asking them to read this book before I take it to the Crisis Pregnancy
Center
Available in paperback and kindle.
224 pages.
