N2  - "Abbie Halberstadt helps parents see how God can use the everyday trials of child raising to radically transform how they view hardship and grow them to become more like Jesus.  Amid the toddler tantrums, the mealtime melees, and the backseat blowups, have you found yourself asking God that same question? Maybe even screaming it into a couch pillow? You're not alone.  our most trying moments as a parent can quickly spiral into discouragement, hopelessness, and sometimes even resentment toward God or your family--partly because our culture has conditioned us to believe that anything this hard can't possibly be good for us.  Halberstadt shares scriptural wisdom and lessons learned from her own challenges as a mama of ten to help shift your perspective on the hardships of parenting and of life, in general.When you begin to see struggles as a necessary part of God's plan for your spiritual growth, you can discover supernatural peace and purpose, even when you're down in the deepest trenches of parenthood."--From Publisher's website
