"The Super Mom Myth" by Becky Koptizke is about the myth's of motherhood. This book was not quite what I thought it was going to be for example perfection mom's and such. However it was even better than I had imagined. I really enjoyed how the author brought up things that are actually the side affects of us trying to be a super mom (she calls them villains of motherhood) such as being a grouch and worry. The author not only tells us details of these villains but also how to get rid or lower our life with them. If you are not a Christian and are not open to the Bible you will not like this book as the author uses the scripture to back what she is saying. I appreciate her use of the scriptures and I also appreciate that she doesn't give us much advice on children that are above the age of her children. That is very nice because if someone has not raised a teenager for example I have hard time taking advice from them about teenagers but I will still listen. This was a good book on remembering that we need to draw our strength as mothers from God not from others. I highly recommend this book.

I was given this book from Net Galley and was not required to give a positive review.

I am officially a "SuperMom" failure and proud of it. This book is fantastic and wonderfully written. This book should be an automatic baby shower gift. Becky is heartfelt in her story and open with the realities of mommyhood. Her careful look at verses and how she had misinterpreted them to gain her "ideal" view of how a mom "should" run her family. I loved how she broke the book into the villains and worked through each of them.
I liked how this was a book and not a Bible Study with questions at the end of the chapter. The chapter itself was intriguing and the placement of the verses at the start were easy to mark for when the villain crept into a moment. I am excited to share this title with other moms.

So encouraging!
