In the months leading up to having Jill Savage speak during a MOPS meeting we will be going through one of her books 'Real Moms...Real Jesus.' 

What does Jesus know about the peanut-butter-and-jelly life of a mom? Plenty! Jill Savage, founder and director of Hearts at Home, introduces the real Jesus to real moms. In chapters that examine key behaviors and decisions Jesus made during His life on earth, Jill brings those lessons right down to the laundry-filled, sticky-fingered days every mother knows.

Between the chapters are interactive vignettes that turn the concept of the book back around. If the meat of the content is looking at Jesus' life on earth and understanding how to apply that in our everyday lives, these perspective vignettes are brief, refreshing glimpses starting with our own messy, busy lives. Jill continually reminds the reader that Jesus is not an unattainable deity, but a Friend who understands.

How will this work within our meetings?

So, for each month we will have a guest speaker share with our group for the first meeting of the month and then the second meeting of the month we will go through one or two chapters of this wonderful book!  And then we'll wrap up the book by listening to Jill Savage speak (LIVE IN YUMA, CO) to moms in our group as well as invite other MOPS groups in surrounding communities and other moms within our community and surrounding communities!
