"We all need cheerleaders. The Impossible Kid will encourage and
inspire you to be a better parent. Raising a child who loves God is
becoming more and more complicated, and the best way to learn
something is to experience it. The Impossible Kid will take you on
life's roller coaster with smiles and laughter to sniffles and
tears. Lucille Williams will show you how to laugh at yourself,
have fun, and enjoy your kids in this lighthearted account of her
struggles as a mom. Each page has new surprises, especially the
comments by her daughter at the end of each chapter. A great read
from cover to cover as you are saying, Yes! Exactly! I know just
what you mean!"
-Gary Smalley, author of Guarding Your Child's Heart "Lucille
Williams is the real deal! She writes with amazing authenticity,
practicality, and a fun-loving sense of humor. Reading this book
(and her other books) is like sitting with a good friend over
coffee sprinkled with important 'truth bombs' and a lot of laughs.
I always encourage the HomeWord audience to pick up her books. And
with this book, her daughter Monica chimes in at every chapter with
the style of fun, authenticity, and truth."
-Jim Burns, PhD, President, HomeWord, author of Doing Life With
Your Adult Children: Keep Your Mouth Shut and the Welcome Mat Out!
"Lucille Williams and her daughter Monica take us on an exciting
adventure into the challenging world of parenting. Captivating
stories will keep you laughing, crying, and turning pages to find a
healthy dose of practical guidance, hilarious antidotes, and the
reminder that we are all God's kids. Some of us are just bigger
than others."
-Claudia Mitchell, Women's Minister, Sherwood Oaks Christian
Church, Bloomington, Indiana, and coauthor of One Girl Can Change
the World "Lucille Williams has painted the pages of this book with
all of her personality, the same personality that is so endearing
as she ministers in the children's ministry at Shepherd Church in
Porter Ranch, California. She writes with authenticity and a
realness that is not only disarming but engaging. You can't help
but laugh and cry at the stories she shares. She has encapsulated
what it means to parent your children, even with the ups and downs,
with the joy of the Lord. A great and encouraging read!"
-Phil Allen, Founder & Pastor at Own Your Faith Ministries,
California "I have always believed you can't really do parenting to
a child; you do it with a child. In other words, just as much as a
parent shapes the future of a child, the child shapes the future of
a parent. As I read this book by Lucille, I am refreshed by a
parenting book that is not written about children but with
children! The wisdom and authenticity of Lucille coupled with the
responses and realizations of Monica are truly some of the most
unique and clever parenting insights I have read in years."
-Todd Clark, Pastor, and Senior Associate, Slingshot Group "It's
very refreshing to read a book where both mom and daughter share
the good, the bad, and the ugly of parenting. Let's keep it real,
people! Lucille and Monica do a great job sharing their triumphs
and tough times. Full of scripture and encouragement, Lucille tells
how she cried out time and time again to the Lord, and reminds us
that this is what we too must do for successful parenting. If your
kids didn't come with instructions, consider this your powerful
parenting play book."
-Annett Davis, professional beach volleyball player, 2000 Olympian,
pastor's wife, and mother of two "I can relate to the book. I have
a daughter who is just like the one portrayed here. She is the joy
of my life, but I welcome any sound advice from people like Lucille
Williams. She has done a great job on laying it out in a humorous
and enjoyable fashion."
-Rick Kyle, Teaching Pastor, The Hills Church in Evansville "There
is certainly no such thing as a perfect parent or a perfect child,
but Lucille Williams shows you how to find the humor and joy in
parenting the Lord's way. You will laugh and cry as you glean from
the godly wisdom shared in The Impossible Kid through exploring the
real issues that moms and dads face today. And while every child is
unique and sure to keep us on our toes, this book reveals that
being a perfectly content parent is truly possible."
-Dudley C. Rutherford, Senior Pastor Shepherd Church "Lucille
Williams offers biblically-based advice and wisdom on parenting
mixed with a very healthy dose of humor and encouragement. Her book
is sure to be a valuable resource for parents who desire to
joyfully honor God as they raise their children!"
-Renee Rutherford, wife of Senior Pastor Shepherd Church, Porter
Ranch, California, and mother of three "Sometimes you see the title
and author of a book, and even before you read the first page you
think to yourself, Yeah, this is going to be good. That is the case
with Lucille Williams and her new book on parenting. She is a woman
who has had not only an incredible amount of personal experience
with being a mother, but she is also someone who has walked
alongside many other mothers, gaining additional experience as a
mentor and a friend. As a husband whose household consists of a
wife, two teenage daughters, and a female golden retriever, this
book is an answer to prayer."
-Tim Winters, Executive Pastor of Shepherd Church, Porter Ranch,
California "As a mother of two preteen boys, I was so blessed by
Lucille Williams' stories and antidotes in The Impossible Kid. You
will feel encouraged by the way she is able to combine the
challenges of motherhood with God's specific promise to that area.
I was able to identify with many of her issues (and attitudes) on
parenting. Other times I was spurred into action--having to put the
book down and go make things right with my kids. This book is for
parents at all stages of parenting who seek some lighthearted, yet
sound godly advice from a mom who's been there."
-Kim Wynott, mother of two boys, including child star Ryan Wynott
from ABC's FlashForward and NBC's The Cape "To write a book on
raising a strong-willed child with that strong-willed child is a
bold move! You can only imagine the 'vigorous' editing process, and
we, the readers, are the beneficiaries. The pious platitudes and
easy answers are ousted by the emotional roller coaster of reality,
accompanied by laughter, tears, and the trauma of parenting."
-Mark E. Moore, PhD. Teaching Pastor of Christ's Church of the
Valley, and author of Core 52: A Fifteen-Minute Daily Guide to
Build Your Bible IQ in a Year "Lucille is vulnerable, honest, and
raw with you about her journey as a mom. She won't shame you, but
encourage you in your calling from God to be a mom."
-Kyle Idleman, Pastor of Southeast Christian Church, and author of
Not a Fan and Don't Give Up
