IamthatIam Book Review & Giveaway~Perfect Gift for Single Moms!

Being a single mom is one of the hardest yet most rewarding things for a woman to experience. Single moms need all the help and support that they can get because, lets face it, they are human too. When I came across the IamthatIam book and the author Christina Ciani, I was searching for help, guidance and support through a terrible time in my life. I was feeling weak, and it felt like God himself sent this book to me. I am so thrilled to get the opportunity to share this book with other single moms, and give you guys the chance to win a copy of your own. This is probably the most near and dear to my heart review that I have written.

IamthatIam awakens the spirit and renews hope with the message” never give up because in the end God is always faithful to you.


My Thoughts
As I said before, when I found this book I felt as though God wanted me to read it. I found out about this book through a forum that I am member of where we share pitches for review and giveaway opportunities. Although I don't usually do book reviews, because after becoming a mom I don't have time to read them, when I saw the pitch for this book, I felt as though it was meant for me and had to contact Christina and see if she would work with me. I was excited when she agreed and eagerly awaited it to be delivered. I received the IamthatIam book and Christina's other book, F Bombs for Single Moms, and I opened the package, laid the books on the coffee table, to wait for time to read them. As Luke and I sat on the couch watching TV he saw the IamthatIam book on the coffee table and asked me to read it to him. Because it is a short book, I picked it up and started reading. This was a very trying time in my life to say the least, and, as I read the words in this book, I found myself fighting back tears because for me these words were speaking a message. "Do not be afraid of what I have called on you to do for this world." "I have chosen you, dear mother, because your heart is pure" Now I'm not a religious person, but I do believe in God and in prayer and believe that there are signs every day that everything is going to be okay if we just look for them. This book was one of those signs. Sometimes, when life is throwing everything at us at once, and we try to talk to our family and friends about our troubles, we don't really want advice. We want, and need, someone to just give us a hug and tell us that everything is going to be alright. For me, this book was my hug. Since coming into contact with Christina, I have gotten the opportunity to speak to her, and she is so wonderful, generous, and willing to listen.

The IamthatIam book is an awesome book, not only for single mothers, but mothers in general. The message in this book, although it may be short, speaks a thousand words when you are in need of that little nudge, that little voice that says "it's going to be alright."

I definitely feel that this book would be a great gift for single mothers, better than any body spray, or candle. Something that can be read, and heard over and over in those trying times in our lives, that are inevitable.
