"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.
