"If I want a changed home, it starts with my own heart."

After years of desperately praying for her kids to change, God revealed a powerful truth: transformation starts with mom. That's when she stopped praying for her kids and started praying for herself—and everything changed.

I stopped praying for my kids... is her debut book, written to encourage and equip Christian moms to deepen their faith while raising the next generation for His glory.
