From the publisher:
On 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.

There are many books on parenting. What makes this on interesting is being able to think about our children's lives in terms of weeks. Eryn Lynum takes the way we look at time and expands it. She breaks down time into different categories and share personal stories on how she did this. Occassionally there are questions to reflect on at the end of a section. These allow the reader to go deeper into the concepts shared.
What also sets this book apart is how she focuses on the joy we can have in intentional parenting. We aren't to be bogged down in this intentional parenting. The stories shared allow them to be translated into something the reader can relate to and implement themselves.
I received this book free from the publisher. All opinions are my own.
