Dethroning Super Mom

Becky Kipitzke takes on the challenge of dethroning "Super Mom" in her book The Super Mom Myth: Conquering the dirty villains of motherhood. Moms in todays culture find themselves doing the comparison game- trying to live up to the Norman Rockwell picture perfect family. Kipitzke takes the reader on a journey, describing eight villians of motherhood and how to overcome them: housework, comparison, fear, anger, busyness, neglecting ourselves, neglecting our husbands, and exhaustion. The beginning of each chapter lists the villian, the related evil power of the said villian, and the "kryptonite" or Bible verses that empowers or shows us the real truth. She does all of this in an easy, conversational, and humorous read. My only wish was that this book had made its appearance several years ago when my children were much younger as I saw myself having fallen victim to many of these villians back in the day! I received this book for free to review from Barbour Publishing's Review Crew.
