Produktbeschreibung
What does it take to be a game-changing grandma? If you're a grandma, you have the potential to be a real game-changer in your grandchildren's lives, but that won't happen accidentally. Authors Chrys Howard and Shellie Rushing Tomlinson know this from experience--they're seasoned grandmas with a combined total of twenty grandchildren. With their signature Southern humor and honest, insightful family stories, they challenge all grandmas (including themselves) to mentor their "grands" in a godly way. Stepping into such an important role can bring doubts and worries, but Shellie and Chyrs's encouragement and ideas will empower grandmas to pass on an "inheritance" of positive values, attitudes, and character traits to your "children's children," as Proverbs 13:22 reminds us to do. Being a game-changer means recognizing some basic truths about family life, that "listening is the secret to being heard" and "little ones understand more than we think." It also means knowing how to deal wisely with possible problems: * Divorce and blended families * Boundaries between grandmas and parents * Making life revolve around grandkids Filled with inspirational quotes, Scriptures, and actions steps, Rocking It Grand will help you rock your grandma years with purpose. And did we mention that the book includes twenty family cookie recipes? Because some days just call for a good cookie from Grandma!
Autorenporträt
Shellie Rushing Tomlinson: I'm a farmer's wife and totally besotted grandmother of half a dozen beautiful grandchildren I fondly call The Super Six. I fell in love with storytelling as a child when my paternal grandmother regaled us with stories of what it was like to come to Louisiana from the hills of Appalachia and set up house in a tent with a dirt floor. On the other side of the family tree, my maternal grandfather, a people loving preacher, was known for using humor to draw his listeners to Jesus. It's safe to say the two of them marked me. Whether in my books, speaking before audiences, or dropping a segment on my podcast, I love nothing more than helping hungry hearts feast on Jesus through humor and storytelling. Look for The Story Table podcast wherever you listen to your favorites and come visit me at ShellieT.com. Chrys Howard likes to say she had a life before her daughter was the star of Duck Dynasty, but she has a hard time remembering what that was. Chrys' daughter is Korie Robertson, with whom she has written several books, but mostly she just loves to be with her playing tennis or skiing or chasing grandkids. She holds a degree in Elementary Education and taught school for a number of years before joining her family's publishing company, Howard Publishing. At the publishing company she served as an executive editor as well as the creative director in charge of cover designs. Chrys also hosted a radio show called It's a Mom Thing for ten years. She currently serves as a director at a summer camp, co-hosts a podcast and lifestyle site titled Rocking It Grand, and travels and speaks. She has three amazing children, fourteen adorable grandchildren and five fabulous great-grandchildren. She has been married to her husband, John, for fifty years. They live in West Monroe, LA.
