Grandma--You Can Be a Game-Changer for Generations to Come.
Today's grandmas live in an ever-changing, fast-paced, highly-competitive, busier-than-ever world. We struggle with balance as we help our children manage theirs--grandbabies, work, exercise, staying healthy, and leading our growing families.
Chrys Howard and Shellie Tomlinson have more than 20 (as of now) grandchildren between the ages of newborn to 30 years old. Together they inspire grandmas with personal stories, learned insight, relevant Scripture, and a few laughs to encourage new and seasoned grandmas to press on.
Rocking It Grand includes four, easy-to-remember R's in each of the 18 devotions:
- Remember it is a scripture passage to absorb;
- Read about it is a personal message from Chrys or Shellie;
- Reflect on it is a quote to highlight their message; and
- Rock it provides an action step to reinforce the topic.
Become more confident and intentional with your grandchildren, your adult children, and their spouses; more grounded in your faith; and ready to rock your role as the best grandparent you can be.

What does it take to be a game-changing grandma?
If you're a grandma, you have the potential to be a real game-changer in your grandchildren's lives, but that won't happen accidentally.
Authors Chrys Howard and Shellie Rushing Tomlinson know this from experience--they're seasoned grandmas with a combined total of twenty grandchildren. With their signature Southern humor and honest, insightful family stories, they challenge all grandmas (including themselves) to mentor their "grands" in a godly way.
Stepping into such an important role can bring doubts and worries, but Shellie and Chyrs's encouragement and ideas will empower grandmas to pass on an "inheritance" of positive values, attitudes, and character traits to your "children's children," as Proverbs 13:22 reminds us to do. Being a game-changer means recognizing some basic truths about family life, that "listening is the secret to being heard" and "little ones understand more than we think." It also means knowing how to deal wisely with possible problems:
- Divorce and blended families
- Boundaries between grandmas and parents
- Making life revolve around grandkids
