Publisher's summary

Lysa TerKeurst, mother of five and president of Proverbs 31 Ministries, knows about the bouts of "mommy stress" that come with parenting and managing a home and a life. From her own experience and conversations with hundreds of other women, Lysa shares how mothers can release the guilt they sometimes feel and stop blaming their parenting skills every time a child does something wrong.

  • Let kids live with the consequences of their bad choices
  • Simplify life to create breathing room
  • Quit comparing themselves to "perfect" moms
  • Turn to God for support, guidance, and patience

Overflowing with practical ideas, short Bible studies, and plenty of encouragement, this inspiring resource will help moms to realize that - with God's wisdom and mercy - they can experience peace and satisfaction while raising their kids.

Excellent for the Mom that needs a refresh!

I have 5 children and needed these reminders. It's so easy to get overwhelmed and forget the truth, hearing it is so useful! Excellent advice!

Refreshing with Biblical truths to my mama heart!

This book was excellent. It provided Biblical context and practical, life examples on mothering. I believe it gave great depth on the whys, hows, and huhs of mothering as well as steps to change. I would highly recommend it!

I needed this!!

Lysa TerKeurst is so relatable, you feel like your reading a letter or gearing from a friend who has been through the same things and can relate and give you sound advice that she put to the test. This helped me so much to give myself grace that not all mom's are perfect and that we can seek God in those imperfect moments!

Healing words

This book in it's entirety spoke to each fiber of my soul. I am going to listen to it over and over, journaling along the way (something I have never done)

It's teachings like this that make me believe God is looking out for me and that I am never alone.

Thank you for making a difference in my life, mothering and walk with God.

I now know how important my time one-on-one with Him is.

Love it from beginning to end!

I related to so many of the stories and expectations I put on myself. Learning to give myself the freedom to live somewhere between being super mom and slacker mom!
