Review
Intensely practical and insightful, The Strong-Willed Mama is the kind of book all parents should read - and especially those with headstrong children. In an enjoyable style, Tami Overhauser shares personal stories and effective principles she has learned in raising her own strong-willed children. Her book is full of delightful examples and much needed encouragement that will bring hope to a weary mama's soul. -Ellen Schuknecht, author of A Spiritual Heritage: Connecting Kids and Grandkids to God and Family, mom of 3, grandma of 11
I often joke that the hardest thing I've ever done in my life was not guarding Micheal Jordan or Magic Johnson during my NBA career, but raising four children. Yes, raising children can be that hard! There were many days I felt completely overwhelmed, unprepared, and even at times a failure in my parenting. There were also days I just flat wanted to give up and quit. It was during those difficult times that people like Tami Overhauser, who themselves had been through the battles and came out on the other side, deeply encouraged me to stay in the game. I highly recommend The Strong-Willed Mama to those who are starting their parenting journey or are already in the midst of raising their children. You will laugh, cry, shake your head in agreement, and find your own story within Tami's story. In the end, you will walk away with a deep, refreshing hope in your parenting and the understanding that you don't have to walk this journey alone. -Dave Jamerson, lead pastor, Renovate Church Austin, NBA 1st Round draft choice, author of Standing Strong in Tough Times, Dad of 4
Whatever stage of parenting you find yourself in, from toddler to teen & everything between, the life-giving words within the pages of The Strong-Willed Mama will encourage you to love hard, fight hard, stay in the ring and show up for the ones who matter. Tami's practical wisdom is rooted in sound Biblical teaching and seasoned by her own experience. Her mother's heart to see healthy families grow is surpassed only by her passion for the greater family of God. -Chris Blue, Co-Pastor, Pacific Point Church, CA, co-contributing author of Mom Mentor What Other Moms Never Told Me, mom of 5, lala of 1

5.0 out of 5 stars Calling ALL mamas...you will laugh until you cry and then cry until you laugh!!!
Tami paints an honest yet raw picture of a full life, raising a family that serves the Lord, with her new release, the Strong Willed Mama. It is practical yet hysterical text, all in the same breath! The pages are simply filled with nuggets of parenting gold! Her encouraging words lead you down a path of hope, perseverance and joy, in parenting some strong-willed children through some tough seasons, while always directing you back to the Word of God, where true wisdom is found! You will laugh until you cry, then cry until you laugh again! Tami teaches us to remember that in life and in parenting, there are Seasons…and if you ask Him, God will work through you to guide your children towards the right path that He has chosen for them. She reminded me that it is indeed a GOOD THING after all, to have a Strong Willed child, as long as I am a Strong Willed Mama!

5.0 out of 5 stars A must read for moms!
Love this book! I was privileged to read an advanced copy of and it was refreshing and comforting to hear Tami’s stories as if we were having a conversation. She writes with honesty, encouragement, pragmatic truth and unwavering faith. As a mama of 2 rascally boys, the struggle is REAL, and my toddler in particular can be especially strong-willed and stressful. I love the advice that she gives and the reminders to give yourself grace as parents and pick your battles. There is hope for the future that this too shall pass and we will survive together! And so will our strong-willed children. I highly recommend this fun and uplifting read!

5.0 out of 5 stars Must-Read for Mom's!
The Strong-Willed Mama is a must-read for all mothers! The author is authentic, relatable and encouraging. She shares stories and struggles from her own parenting journey that remind you that you are not alone and you are capable of and created specifically for, raising the children you have been given. She writes about her struggles as a Mom with humor that will have you laughing out loud! I appreciated her challenge to spend time with each of child and embrace who they are and how they have been created. When I finished the book I felt empowered and challenged (in a very good way!) as a Mom and I highly recommend this book!
