Relationships & Peacemaking

Peacemaking Mama???

I’m thinking about putting together a book proposal for my publisher on the topic of Peacemaking Mamas–Growing in Grace Through the Childrearing Years (or something along those lines).

Just brainstorming, I was thinking that the “peace with God, others, and within” structure might still be good and would lend itself to topics like:

PEACE WITH GOD
1. Questioning God
2. Doubting My Identity
3. Failing in (& Returning to) the Disciplines of Grace

PEACE WITH OTHERS
4. Childrearing is Hard
5. Parenting and Marriage
6. Other Interested Parties (Like In-Laws!)
7. Friendships Change (or Disappear?)
8. New Relationships (Often with Unbelievers)
9. The Joy of Redemptive Relationships

PEACE WITHIN
 10. Surprised by New Temptations and Sins
11. Envy, Dissatisfaction, and Loneliness
12. Resting in Christ

I’m thinking it’ll be like HALF the length of Peacemaking Women (i.e., much more accessible for busy moms!) and hopefully funny and encouraging as well as biblically faithful and God-centered.

So what do you think?
Should I put a proposal together?
What am I forgetting?
What do you really like?

(Oh–and if EVER there was a time for EVERYONE to leave a COMMENT–this is it. PLEASE DO! Then I can show the publisher how much interest there is even off of our tiny little site here. You can be COMPLETELY ANONYMOUS–just say, “Yes!” or “Go for it!” or “I’d buy that book!” 🙂)

OK–back to puppy playing. Lili is learning to “sit” and “off” already! Very fun.

Happy Saturday all–
