Book Review: 936 Pennies: Discovering the Joy of Intentional Parenting

When I first saw this book, the title was intriguing. 936 Pennies: Discovering the Joy of Intentional Parenting by Eryn Lynum is a book encouraging parents to invest their 936 pennies - representing the 936 weeks parents get with a child from birth to adulthood. This metaphor is carried throughout the book. Instead of "losing" or "spending" the pennies, the pennies are transferred from one jar to another as they are translated into a legacy of family time and memories. Full of stories, scripture, and questions to reflect on, this book is a guidebook for intentional parenting, intentional family time, and intentional living. It reminds families to focus on God and keep Him at the center of their moments together.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for this review; all opinions are my own.
