The book is already gaining traction with readers, with the Kindle ebook version climbing to the #44 position on Amazon.com’s Hot New Releases in the Christian Family category and #80 in the Hot New Releases in Christian Devotionals category. The paperback version debuted at the #82 position on Amazon.com’s Hot New Releases in it Christian Family and Relationships category.

Learning As I Go includes 75 devotions for parents of young children, drawn from the life-experience of the author.

“Simple snippets of time when we are engaged mindlessly with our children may seem insignificant,” author Christy Bass Adams muses. “But are they, really? Washing clothes, playing on the playground, and driving youngsters to school are all mundane parts of being a parent, but these unassuming moments are often the places God shows up the most with the biggest, longest-lasting impressions.Teaching your child how to ride a bike suddenly becomes a class about fear and letting go. Questions about the abandoned slide on the playground might turn into a quest to reawaken lost dreams and passions from years ago. And a simple trip to the grocery store might teach all about perspectives and heart changes.”

“God often stops me in my tracks during the simplest, most mundane moments of the day and hammers my heart with lessons in the moment,” Christy continues. “These lessons happen most often through everyday life as a parent. I thought, If God used these incidents to touch my heart, He just might be able to use them to minister to someone else’s heart. My personal prayer for each reader is that they will be challenged to examine their hearts, minds, and actions, and if in their seeking they discover something doesn’t align with God’s truth, that they would seek a new direction and change their ways. I also hope that the vivid examples and stories will pop back into their minds throughout the days and weeks, drawing them closer to the heart of the Father.”
