"The hardest part about being a mom is I have to keep a human being alive." Seriously?! Pretty Wicked Moms is a "reality show" on Lifetime that is not to be taken seriously. However, when I saw the preview for this, the mom in me was highly insulted. And I think all moms should be...all REAL moms I should say. Not only that, but I felt as if so many moms I run into on the street these days seem to have taken this line to heart.

Another kind of conflict we sometimes have is when we are sharing or defending our faith. The Bible says that God commands us to share the good news, yet so many of us are afraid or unprepared to do so. In today's society where the last acceptable prejudice is Christianity (where Bibles are not allowed in school and announcements of Bible studies are prohibited in the workplace), there is even more reason to be uncomfortable when sharing your faith. However, this is exactly why I wrote Say What You Mean: Defending the Faith. This study goes through the common questions and misunderstandings non Christians have about God and teaches you not only what you can say, but how to say...
