Publisher's Description
Make the Most of Your Time with Your ChildrenOn the day of their baby dedication, Eryn and her husband were given a jar of 936 pennies. The jar contained a penny for every week they would raise their child until graduation, and they were instructed to remove one penny each Sunday as a reminder, placing it into another jar as an investment. At some point every parent realizes time is moving swiftly, and they ask themselves, How am I investing in my child? Through personal stories and biblical examples, 936 Pennies will help you discover how to capture time and use it to its fullest potential, replacing guilt and regrets with freedom. Meanwhile, your kids will see how simple choices, like putting the cell phone down and going on a family hike, will make all the difference. Together you will stretch time and make it richer. Craft a family legacy in tune with God's heartbeat as you capture a new vision for your children and learn the best ways to spend your pennies.

“For every mom who feels spent, finished, bankrupt by bedtime. Eryn reminds us with humor, honesty, and relatable experience that what you spent in time, patience, energy, memories, and do-overs was worth every penny. Literally. The investment of a lifetime made by mothers everywhere. Every day. Often without even realizing it. Read on and take heart. Because every exhausted minute you’ve spent today was deposited in ways you may never have imagined.”
“Every single month I find myself asking, ‘Where did the time go?’ And don’t even get me started on holidays and milestones and new school years. It seems like no matter how hard I try to hold on to it, time slips through my fingers as my children grow up with increasing speed. If I let it, both accepting this reality or trying to change it can be overwhelming as a parent who desires to be intentional, to make a difference, to steward well the children God has given me. Thankfully, 936 Pennies by Eryn Lynum is a resource any parent can use to replace confusion and chaos with purpose and value. If you are tired of looking back and wondering where the time has gone, this book will help you capture the moments God has given your family and make the most of your time together.”
“Timeless, biblical truths combined with artfully crafted personal stories kept me engaged and desirous of learning more from this young mother, who is determined to use the time God gives her with her children wisely.”
“What a beautiful and tangible reminder that each day with our children is a gift. It’s very easy these days to squander our pennies. We’re spending too much time texting, posting, and emailing, and so are our kids. 936 Pennies will help you reclaim your days to invest in what really matters.”
“As a mother of two adult daughters, I thought to myself while reading 936 Pennies, Where was this book while I was raising my girls? I love the heart of Eryn as she took the charge from her pastor to intentionally build into her children’s lives. And now, as the reader, you will reap the rewards of her obedience to savor the moments we are given, with practical tips and honest struggles.”
“936 Pennies reminds us time is a priceless but not limitless gift. Eryn Lynum invites the reader to join her quest to be intentional in the way time is spent while raising children. Her words are tender and her message is compelling. This book is a parenting treasure.”
