If you’ve been looking for a Christian book for moms you can actually use tomorrow morning, this is it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAmy examines phrases many of us say without a second thought, from “hurry up,” “calm down,” and “don’t be sad” to “you should be ashamed of yourself.” She also looks closely at well-meant sayings like “God doesn’t give you more than you can handle” and “you just need more faith.” Amy considers where these words come from and how they can unintentionally contribute to anxiety, stress, shame, or self-consciousness in our kids, sometimes even becoming a barrier to their trust in Christ. Then she offers specific alternatives you’ll be able to reach for in the moment, words to build up your child’s confidence, faith, and sense of worth over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on Scripture, real-life stories, and research, Amy writes honestly about her own imperfect journey as a mother. She offers hope for breaking generational cycles of unintentional hurt and for repairing connection when the wrong words have already been spoken. The result is a book full of compassion for the moments we get it wrong and clear direction for doing better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhether you’re raising toddlers or teens, \u003cem\u003eWords Like Honey\u003c\/em\u003e is a thoughtful addition to any reading list for moms. For those of us trying to parent with intention, Amy’s wisdom about words and faith feels like a conversation with a friend a few years further down the road. It’s an encouraging book you’ll return to whenever you need a gentle reset.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAmy Hughes knows how quickly a careless word can slip out on a hard day, and how much a kind one can mean.
