About this audiobook
Every mom can identify with the feeling that they're in a race to the finish line every day, stumbling over everything in their path—including Legos and dirty laundry!
Kara-Kae James knows how overwhelming motherhood can be. As she writes, "When we come to the place where we think that we have failed—this is the moment when God's Word and motherhood intersect."
In Mom Up, James shares four themes that impact how she follows Jesus and parents her kids: intentional motherhood, genuine community, refreshing rest, and embracing chaos. With practical ideas for building relationships with other moms, grace-filled Scripture reminders, and a healthy dose of humor, Mom Up helps readers step out of survival mode and into the abundant life God has for them and their family.
