"Brenda is a genuine, funny, Biblical speaker who presents the truth of the Bible in a way that women are challenged in their walk with the Lord, given practical truths that they can apply to their lives, and inspired to know God better. Not only did I appreciate the message that she presented to our ladies at Harvest Bible Chapel, but I appreciated the time that I spent getting to know her beforehand. The woman that stands up on the stage speaking a love for Jesus is the same person off the stage. Brenda Garrison is real, and her relationship with the Lord is honest."

Coordinator of Women's Ministry, Harvest Bible Chapel-Peoria

"Garrison pulls no punches. . . It would be an excellent premarital resource for a young woman who 'doesn’t read.' If it's too late for premarital counseling, it would also make an excellent wedding gift or housewarming gift. You may just save a young woman from years of wondering why her loving husband can never seem to catch on to what he is supposed to do and to be in her eyes."

“Warmth and genuineness set the stage as Brenda Garrison engages audiences both large and small with her wise, original, and thoroughly entertaining speaking style and talent.”

"Brenda is a REAL mom whose ability to share and encourage moms with real -life practical tips is very refreshing. Brenda offers a common sense approach to her speaking seasoned with just the right amount of humor. Her Queen Mom book is RIGHT ON! In a culture where lack of respect in children toward their parents is accepted, it's encouraraging to see and hear qualified speakers who don't apologize for God's truths on parenting. Brenda is one of those speakers! The passion God has laid on her heart to challenge and encourage moms to regain their rightful throne as the Queen Mom, comes across loud and clear. Not only is this book a must read but Brenda is also a recommended speaker for any mom's group or event focusing on parenting."

"Brenda is wonderfully gifted. She is able to unlock the truth of scripture with humor, compassion and conviction. By humblysharing her experiences, Brenda invites us all to join her in the quest for our royal inheritance as Princesses. I have learned so much about how to be a woman of God through Brenda's writing and teaching."

"Queen Mom is a helpful parenting tool for mothers as they seek to guide their children to adulthood. Speaker Garrison provides a delightful twist on parenting books as she starts with a tale about a king and queen and their royal offspring who try to take the reins of the kingdom. She uses the royalty theme for chapter titles and other features and includes many personal illustrations from her life as the "Queen Mom" to three "princesses."

This well-written book will appeal to mothers of tots to teens, as well as those looking for a nonthreatening parenting book. Each chapter ends with questions to help the reader determine what next steps to take in her parenting adventure. A two-page appendix gives an overview of age-appropriate discipline. Highly recommended for all church libraries. JA"
