Book excerpt: Motherhood is a gift, and we know our children are a blessing (Psalm 127:3), but some moments in motherhood feel monotonous, stressful, and overbearing. Mamas, we need to lean in on Jesus Christ like never before! By cultivating hearts of thanksgiving, by purifying our lives, and by adopting daily disciplines that reorient the arrows of our hearts to point toward Jesus, we can be more than conquerors (Romans 8:37). A Place of Grace for Moms of Littles will help you connect with God's heart. It will lead you in a sanctification process that implores you to depend on God's love and grace and not yourself. Let Jesus be your guide through God's Word and prayer. Use this book to comfort you and call you to rise to the occasion of your calling as a daughter of Christ and a mother of littles. Endorsements "This book is for every mom who's ever prayed, "Lord, help me parent!"

A Place of Grace for Moms of Littles is packed with Scripture, wisdom and thought-provoking questions that will leave every mom feeling confident-not only in her role as a mother, but also in the One she's leaning on-Jesus." Erica Renaud mom of five and author Pray with Me: Help Your Children Engage in Authentic and Powerful Prayer "In A Place of Grace for Moms of Littles, Alexandra Jensen offers women a safe space to feel seen in the joys and struggles of motherhood.

Alexandra Jensen shares practical ways to incorporate more Jesus into our lives and our kids' lives in A Place of Grace for Moms of Littles...I wish there were more books like A Place of Grace for Moms of Littles out there for mom followers of Jesus!" Lindsay Morris mom of boys, author Calling All Princesses "Alexandra does a great job presenting not only biblical help but also practical help for moms as well! ...The reader will walk away refreshed and with clear direction on how to pursue the Lord in motherhood." Katie LaPierre mother of ten, pastor's wife, and author Eternally Minded Mamas One-Month Devotional and Journal "A Place of Grace for Moms of Littles is a wonderful book. As a slightly seasoned mom with a slew of miniatures across different ages and stages, I find so much worth in the 'Faith Practices' that Alexandra includes in each section to help you find God as you fight the good fight against laundry, sticky handprints, and emotional roller coasters. I also think this book would be a wonderful guiding light to a new mom just setting off on her motherhood path...Every mother deserves to know that her work in her home with her children is the most vital personal ministry work she will ever be a part of, and Alexandra does it in the most simple and beautiful way." Paige Patterson mother of four and assistant director of children's ministry St. Peter's United Methodist Church in Katy, TX

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Garden of Eden, there was only one "No." Everything else was "Yes." In this short book on Christian childrearing, Douglas Wilson points out that we have a Father who delights in us and makes it easy for us to love and obey him. If that is the kind of Father we have, shouldn't we earthly parents do the same?

Instead, he calls for parents to instill in their kids a love for God and His standards that will serve them well all their days. This book also features an appendix in which Doug and his wife Nancy answer various parents' questions about various applications of the principles discussed in this book.

The poignant and powerful stories of how each found the grit and grace to not only defeat these challenges but also turn them around to impact the world is enlightening and motivating. Finally, Moore calls readers to rise from the depths of their challenges and gives them the tools to do so.
