"The narrative around motherhood today can be a real downer. Instead of rallying to uplift each other or rejoining in what God has done in thelir lives, moms often connect over memes about how "kids are the worst." Mother-of-ten Abbie Halberstadt believes that Christ has so much more to offer you and your family than the empty validation of fist bumps for surviving another day that worldly culture brings to the table. Abbbie offers advice, encouragement, and scripturally sound strategies--seasoned with a humor and grace-- to help you embrace the challenges and see the rewards of Christlike motherhood." -- from publisher.

Summary

A PUBLISHER'S WEEKLY BESTSELLER

Mama of ten Abbie Halberstadt helps women humbly and gracefully rise to the high calling of motherhood without settling for mediocrity or losing their minds in the process.

Motherhood is a challenge. Unfortunately, our worldly culture offers moms little in the way of real help. Mamas only connect to celebrate surviving another day and to share in their misery rather than rejoice in what God has done and to build each other up in hard times. There has a be a better way, a biblical way, for mamas to grow and thrive.

As a daughter of Christ, you have been called to be more than an average mama. Attaining excellence doesn't have to be unsettling but it will take committed focus and a desire to parent well according to God's grace and for His glory.

M is for Mama offers advice, encouragement, and scripturally sound strategies seasoned with a little bit of humor to help you embrace the challenge of biblical motherhood and raise your children with love and wisdom.

Mama, you are worthy of the awesome responsibility God has given you. Now it's time to start believing you can live up to it.
