Description

More for Mom will encourage women to stop believing the lie that more is needed from them, and start living with the truth that more is available for them.

With real-life talk, humor and convicting biblical truths, Kristin Funston helps hard working mamas to look at each day and each facet of their life to discover what happens when they believe God has more for them than what they think the world needs from them.

And what He has available is a whole and holy life, just waiting to be claimed–a salvation and day-to-day reality complete just as it is. The pieces of each mom’s life–the work life, mom life, social life, etc.–are mended together through Christ to complete her one whole life, set apart because of Him.
 
This book is a stepping stone to help working mothers reset their spiritual and emotional health, habits, and relationship with God. There are performance pressures at work, home, and mind-sets that affect a mom’s ability to feel complete and live more closely aligned with God. This book includes the beginning steps for moms to walk in wholeness and holiness by asking God for more.


More for Mom will encourage women to stop believing the lie that more is needed from them, and start living with the truth that more is available for them.

With real-life talk, humor and convicting...

I loved this book. Being a new mom, I spend most days sleepwalking from my mom duties to wife duties to work duties. This book made me feel known and seen. It was encouraging and refreshing to read that my struggles are not unique, and there is a community of women fighting the good fight right alongside me!

Good Book for us Moms who have felt worn out, squeezed out, or just plain tired out! We’ve forgotten for God has for us, as His daughters! We forget that He wants to minister to us too, even as we are ministering and serving everyone else. I especially enjoyed Kristin’s chapter on fasting and being creative with our time with God. Sometimes we need to meet Him, even in the chaos, or if you’re me...especially during the chaos!! God’s still got more for me!

I received an Advanced Reader Copy from the publisher in exchange for my honest review.

Many people who see this book title may assume that it is for women who are of child-bearing age. Well, I am many years past that time but it calls to me because I am deeply involved in the care of my five year-old granddaughter. It also speaks to me because I sometimes feel that I just can't get it all done. I know that I'm not alone because most of us experience heavy demands on our time and our busy lives can occur at any age! One of the chapters in More for Mom is titled "More Time" and the author discusses how to shift our time and energy back to Jesus. She also shows us how to use Biblical truths to gain a new perspective. Funston tells us that "The small pieces of our lives that seem separate from one another actually work together to complete who we are, because we have a Creator who speaks through our pieces from a place of true wholeness."

In another excerpt she shares Luke 12:23. Jesus tells his disciples that "For life is more than food, and the body is more than clothes". Funston reminds us that "Life is Who we allow to complete it, and our body is Who we allow to fill it". Wow!

More for Mom is filled with bible scripture and Funston's own personal experiences and it is a book that encourages, motivates and inspires. So, whether you are a twenty-something stay-at-home mother; a thirty-something mother with a career; or even a sixty-something grandmother who is once again in the mothering business---it doesn't matter because---this book is for you! More for Mom can help you can find truth and encourage you to find a way to enjoy a "whole and holy life".

I received a complimentary digital copy of this book but was under no obligation to post a positive review

Definitely a great book it reminded me to slow down and enjoy life. Wish I had this book several years ago when I first became a mom.

More for Mom is a well written book for moms that are feeling overwhelmed. Many moms believe they are not doing enough in and outside of the home. We are told to give more, do more and serve more. Kristin Funston assures moms that we are holy before God and our works do not determine our value. She offers practical advice on how to prioritize our schedules and community involvement based on our God given talents and abilities. Our focus should be how much we can do based on what our schedule allows and not worry about what others think.

This book was a still small voice of encouragement, with lots of highly applicable Scripture woven into the narrative. An authentic voice that was challenging but filled with grace, and empathy for some of those times when we struggle, Kristin doesn't condescend or lecture, she lays out her own failures or perceived failures with honesty, and shares her triumphs with humility and with a clear goal of helping other moms learn from her experiences Her applications from the lessons in her journey were outlined beautifully and clearly. I will be re-reading this as a reminder of how to stay focused on what matters, and to rest in knowing that I don't do the work, God does. I will be looking forward to more from this author, and telling friends about this book, especially new Moms in the middle of the overwhelm!
