About the book Mom Seeks God: The first months and years of motherhood can be the most challenging and disorienting of your life—and faith. When you’re surrounded by the happy chaos of children, how do you spend quiet time with God if the only quiet time you get is while you sleep? How can you demonstrate a solid spiritual life to your children if you don’t have time to pursue one yourself?

When Julia Roller discovered that her spiritual growth had been stunted by the busyness of life with her toddler, she embarked on a yearlong journey through ten spiritual disciplines: prayer, fellowship, submission, study, simplicity, silence, worship, fasting, service, and celebration. As she focused on each discipline, she discovered practical ways to observe them—even in the chaos of her every day.

My thoughts:  Great book!  I had honestly never read or heard of this author before.  Now I don’t know why!  I am definitely going to have to check out her other books.  I’d love to pick up a copy of A Year with Aslan and the 25 Books Every Christian Should Read to read and enjoy.  Mom Seeks God is a great book for gifting to the mom in your life.  With Mother’s Day fast approaching show her you care and give her a book that will help change her life. I know that my life is definitely hectic.  I’m mommy to 9 kids.  I homeschool.  I cook all my meals from scratch due to food allergies.  Life is hectic.  I often don’t have time for me or for God.  I hope to implement some of these tips and get back to spending that time with God that He desires.
