Are you plagued with nagging mommy guilt? Do you feel like you are never enough, when you look at your life? This book set is for you! Lies Moms Believe and The Companion Bible Study offer hope for tired hearts. Author Rebekah Hargraves says the goal of the book is in “arming you with the arrows of discernment, wisdom, and Biblical truth that are required in order for you to easily recognize and combat the lies Satan likes to throw at you as a mom.”
Rebekah Hargraves’ blog, Hargraves Home and Hearth, is a place where she celebrates home and hospitality. She is a student of God’s Word and a homeschooling mom of two. She is on a journey to discover God’s truth, sharing it with other moms along the way.
Rebekah says the study of theology is needed in motherhood, in order to rightly model God’s character for our children. She uses that study to reveal 32 lies that take moms captive, and says it is through motherhood the Lord continues to impact the next generation.

Do you wonder how you can fulfill the Great Commission as a stay-at-home mom? Rebekah says when we see our children as our mission field, we can find purpose even in the mundane.
Are you a working mom? This book is for you, too. With topics like “I Have to Be a Perfect Mom,” “I Am Responsible for My Child’s Happiness,” and “The Most Important Thing Is My Child’s Education,” moms in all walks of life will find tools to apply.

Rebekah Hargraves takes an academic approach to motherhood, yet does it vulnerably and with gentleness. It’s refreshing to read someone’s words and then to study God’s Word to see what He says about the topic. The accompanying Bible Study does just that. In fact, I would recommend using the Bible Study to look at each topic, then read the corresponding chapter in the book. The questions are well written and thoughtful, and provide a sounding board for personal reflection.
I am giving away a copy of Lies Moms Believe and The Companion Bible Study to one reader in the continental United States. Leave a comment on my blog (at the top of this post, under the title) and answer this question, “What mommy lies have you believed?” You will be entered into the drawing to be held on Wednesday, May 2 at 4 pm. I recognize the lies Rebekah highlights, because I’ve believed them, too. I can’t wait to hear how you’ve overcome them!
