More About This Book

Overview

The New York Times bestseller that celebrates motherhood-for-mothers and those who love them.

Beloved pastor and bestselling author T.D. Jakes pays tribute to his mother-and mothers everywhere-with powerful, heartwarming stories and lessons from his own experiences as a son and pastor.

Woven into these vignettes are Biblical stories and testimonials from famous children of mighty mothers whose nurturing wisdom and influence helped to shape their worlds, and whose invaluable lessons were the building blocks of great character. Bishop Jakes incorporates those lessons-from believing in God and oneself, to learning the value of support, responsibility, and celebrating others, to understanding the power of prayer, wisdom, and endurance-in Mama Made the Difference, a must-have not only for mothers, but also for daughters and sons, brothers and sisters, parents and grandparents-and anyone else who has ever felt the power of a mother's love.

Editorial Reviews

From Barnes & Noble
Dallas-based televangelist T. D. Jakes makes no apologies for his deep love of his mother. In fact, this charismatic "preacher man" gives his mama full credit for setting him on the right path, even when he could not see it himself. Like Jakes's other books, Mama Made the Difference is filled with stories that will make you nod and make you smile and perhaps make you a mite wiser.
