What to expect

Dirty laundry, crayon-smeared bills, smashed crackers … and there’s your Bible, buried under a pile of diapers. Bleary-eyed from a lack of sleep, without a moment of peace and quiet, you wonder if the spiritual life you crave is even possible. But God sees you. He designed this parenting journey, after all. He understands the chaos of motherhood, and he joins you in everything—whether you’re scrubbing the floor, nursing a fussy newborn, or driving your kids to soccer practice.

Offering rich, soul-inspiring practices, Catherine McNiel invites you to connect with God right here, in the sacred mundane of every mothering moment.
