Dear Mama is a book of letters about mothers who made countless mistakes. As you read each letter, you will learn about their challenges as women, mothers, and children of God and how they found hope in His Word. Through their trials, these mothers found they could lean on God whose grace and mercy changed their lives. In reading Dear Mama, you will learn that we all mess up and that God cleans up our messes and turns them into the most beautiful messages when we give the job to Him.   An Excerpt Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit. – Proverbs 18:21 know you have heard the saying, “sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” If you haven’t, keep living, and you will. Perhaps you’ve said it, but do you believe it? If so, I want you to know that sticks and stones may break our bones, but words will break our hearts.  As you can see, the scriptures explain that the tongue can be a weapon to destroy a person or encourage a person. Building words can instruct, improve, build up, edify, affirm, or promote growth. In contrast, critical words judge and find fault. They tear down, beat up, and focus on defects and inadequacies.
