Book Description
“Discover the God-inspired difference only you can make in the world . . . using the key you never knew you had.”
“Tim Tebow credits his mom with being the key to his success—but Pam never expected that she would be known on a national stage. For most of her life, she was serving quietly and faithfully as a wife and a mom—choosing life for her child in the face of medical risks, answering the Lord’s call to mission work in the Philippines, and homeschooling before anyone knew what the word meant. But all along the way, her experiences—and her consistent, everyday choices to follow the Lord and to serve wherever He placed her—were creating unexpected ripples of influence throughout her family, her community, and her world. And they would end up extending far beyond anything she ever imagined.
Pam believes that every one of us can be influential—and that deep within a woman’s heart is the desire to use her influence for good. In Ripple Effects, Pam uncovers and explores the miraculous motivating power of influence we can have on this generation and the next, no matter where we are planted in life. Whether we are in the midst of endless diaper changes, climbing up the corporate ladder, or simply doing our best to live, love, and serve well each day, Pam will encourage us to maximize our God-given opportunities for influence—and watch how far the ripples will spread.”
My Review:
This book by Pam Tebow is encouraging and inspiring. She writes in a warm and personable style, and made me feel that I’d had an opportunity to visit with her. I enjoyed reading stories about their lives as missionaries to the Philippines and the many ways that God has guided them throughout their years of ministry. Although she does share some experiences about her son, Tim Tebow, he is not the focus of this book. She also shares how God has worked in the lives of her other children though the years. She has a strong pro-life testimony as she was encouraged by her doctor to have an abortion when she was pregnant with Tim.
Mrs. Tebow has an excellent grasp on the “ripple effects” our words and actions have on the lives of others. She references Scripture often in this book, and emphasizes hiding God’s Word in our hearts. She and her husband are true examples of faith and trust during difficult times that often seemed impossible. I’m very glad that she has shared their stories with us as an encouragement to turn to God in every circumstance.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.
