Nearly every woman who is "mother" knows how difficult the task is in the modern world. Motherhood is tough, messy and exhausting. But at its heart, The Better Mom offers wisdom for growing in grace -- moving beyond the weary life and into the worthy life. There's practical wisdom here for how to organize your home, focused on God. For overcoming the unhealthy emotions -- most often anxiety and anger -- often associated with parenthood these days. And for cultivating the friendships outside the home that make both those things possible.
In short, The Better Mom is must reading for any woman who nurtures others in daily life. It is a book that helps those women nurture their own spirit for the purpose of exercising the spiritual vocation of motherhood. Schwenk is a mother of four -- so she knows personally so much of what she says in this book that it cannot be easily dismissed.
It's a great read and every mother can glean from its wisdom!
