Motherhood Is Not Your Highest Calling: The Grace Of Being A Good-enough Mo
$18.99Sometimes it can be hard to remember that you are more than a mom.
Do this. Don’t do that. Try this parenting strategy. Read this book. Many mothers desire to be the best mom possible, but the pressure can feel overwhelming. Even at church, many of us are being taught that “motherhood is a woman’s highest calling.”

In Motherhood Is (Not) Your Highest Calling, Vicki Courtney invites moms to reconsider the widely held belief that motherhood defines your identity. With heartfelt honesty drawn from her experiences as a mother and grandmother, Vicki encourages you to embrace an emotionally healthy, “good enough” mentality and let go of the unrealistic expectations that weigh heavily on mothers.
Motherhood Is (Not) Your Highest Calling will encourage you to:
*Challenge the Myth of Perfection Discover how to release yourself from the unrealistic standards of perfectionism that are held up for Christian mothers;
*Understand Church Influences Gain insight into how traditional narratives have shaped women’s expectations in faith communities;
*Learn from Personal Stories: Benefit from Courtney’s own experiences and reflections on motherhood;
*Embrace Being “More than a Mom” Recognize the value of your worth and purpose beyond motherhood; and
*Explore Biblical Insights Find guidance for understanding your identity in Christ.
In a world dominated by social media portrayals of picture-perfect parenting, embrace your complete who you are in Christ.

Nonprescription Drugs In Pregnancy
$19.95A Smart Start Press Title
Many women of child-bearing age buy over-the-counter medications for a variety of disorders, such as seasonal allergies, colds, headaches, and others. Whether planning their pregnancy or already pregnant, they want to know if these nonprescription drugs are safe for unborn babies. All nonprescription drugs contain one or more active ingredients that treat the patient’s symptoms and are actually drugs themselves. Twenty to thirty years ago, many of these active ingredients were FDA-approved prescription drugs. At the time, those prescription drugs were assigned a Pregnancy Risk Category: A, B, C, D, or X. Although some of these drugs switched from prescription to nonprescription status, meaning they could be sold over-the-counter, their Pregnancy Risk Categories still applied. This unique book contains the FDA’s Pregnancy Risk Categories for the active ingredients in five hundred nonprescription drugs, and includes a procedure for locating risk categories for any drug that isn’t in the book.
