Synopsis

Bestselling author Abbie Halberstadt offers encouragement and insight for mamas struggling to remain engaged and hopeful amid the challenges of motherhood.

It's easy to be grateful for motherhood when your child is writing "best mama ever" on your birthday card or giving you a great, big hug. But how about when you're scrubbing crayon marks off the wall for the third time in a week or tussling with your teen about curfew . . . again?

The all-in enterprise called parenting will test your patience and stretch your capacity like nothing else, but mama-of-ten Abbie Halberstadt is here to remind you that having children is a calling you should never, ever regret or apologize to anyone for.

With her trademark candor, relatable humor, and biblically based insight, Abbie will help you keep your eyes fixed on Jesus as you navigate the sometimes-murky waters of motherhood.

Even with an eyes-up approach, will you still struggle? Yep.

Will it be painful and hard at times? Without a doubt.

But will it be worth it? For you? For them? You bet your stretch marks!

I have read all of Abbie's books and I have appreciated each one. This one is no exception! Not only is the book gorgeous, the content inside is just as good.

Goodreads review by Katherine on September 20, 2025

LOVED this BOOK!!!!!! Amazed at Abbie’s knowledge of scripture. You want to talk about saturated with God’s Word? She knows it and she knows it well. I loved her perspective and her strong opinions that I think she argues so well. A mom of 10, she reminded me that children truly are a blessing (not......more

Goodreads review by Molly on September 17, 2025

I always love Abbie’s books but this one topped them all in my heart. Deeply saturated with scripture and encouragement along with conviction. “May your marks of motherhood ever remind you of the matchless privilege it is to be clay in our loving Potter’s hands, and may we ever be ready and willing......more
