No, this book does not contain any great revelation to raising children but it contains stuff that every mom should be doing every day with her children. I needed to read these reminders. I did thid book as a study/class through my church. At the time I had a two year old and a two month old. Reading this book made me sort of sit back, relax and appreciate some of the things that had been stressing me about me two year old. It also reminded me what a huge impact mothers make in the lives of their children. Even though I know it, it helped to hear/read it. I loved this book!
