Need a compact quote-style book that can take your advice with your child as they enter the big wide world after graduation? Look no further.
This little book is meant to be a Mother's attempt at guiding her graduating teenager through some of the more common aspects of daily life. Among it's pages are quotes from a much more comprehensive guide, otherwise known as the Bible!
God says to raise up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it. God also urges parents to ensure that their children, like arrows from a quiver and placed in the bow-string, fly straight and true.
May these tidbits of advice help your child to fly straight and true as they go out to become all that God created and designed them to be.

I bought your book, "Mom's Little Black Book" for my daughter's graduation present. She LOVES it! It's perfect for her because she doesn't like to read much and doesn't have much time anyway. She just gets little glimpses every day and it encourages and inspires her. THANK YOU for writing a book I can send my daughter to college with!Unlike · ·

The story behind this book is so sweet: the author created it as a gift for her graduating senior. I know I would have appreciated a book like this when I was graduating.
Some of the advice came across as preachy, but it would have been hard to avoid that within this format. It doesn't take away from the Truth behind it. I especially appreciate how the author has taken advice directly from the Bible and constantly guides the reader back to that.
I read the ebook version, and while that format didn't lessen the value of the content, I would opt for the paperback version if I were buying it as a gift. This is the perfect flip-through, coffee table book. It's not designed to be read in one sitting. It works to read it from start to finish, but it can also be read out of order, reread, bookmarked, and highlighted.
There is so much excellent advice packed into this little book - from practical advice about doing laundry to spiritual wisdom - any young adult just venturing out on their own can benefit from it.
I was given a copy of the book in exchange for this unbiased review.
Let this coming of age story of a boy named Bean take you back to a simple time. Set in a small southern town in the 1960's, encircled by a river and gleaming white cotton fields.
