A Mother’s Heart Knows Contest

This is a beautiful book!   The pictures are delightful!  A wonderful gift for Mother this Mother’s Day!

About the book: What better way to tell Mom how much you appreciate her on Mother’s Day than with this lovely reminder of thoughts about the loving, selfless attitudes that fill a mother’s heart?

The text and original four-color illustrations will be a beautiful and touching reminder to Mom that her love is never forgotten. The text is a reminder of those things that only a mother’s heart knows, with some special emphasis on a Christian mother. Appropriate Scripture verses will be incorporated into the design element.

All royalty proceeds from this book go to WINGS (Women In Need Growing Stronger) and a student missionary scholarship fund.  WINGS is a non-profit organization that provides a domestic violence shelter for women and their children in addition to transitional housing and programs.
