Book Review: “Mom Seeks God” By Julia Roller

Julia Roller in her new book “Mom Seeks God” published by Abingdon Press gives us Practicing Grace in the Chaos.

From the back cover:  Ten essential spiritual disciplines for busy moms.

What is it about motherhood that causes you to abandon any semblance of a spiritual life? Why is it that when you need God’s peace the most, you sometimes feel God’s presence the least? When you’re surrounded by the happy chaos of children, how do you spend time with God–especially if it means choosing prayer over sleep? How can you demonstrate a solid spiritual life to your children if you don’t have one yourself?

Mom Seeks God offers a highly relatable story, practical advice, and wry humor to help anyone grow in their faith as they address life changes with grace, patience, and prayer. As readers discover ten essential faith practices, they’ll learn that motherhood itself is a spiritual discipline and may even be God’s most effective technique for forming us into the people we were created to be.

It is difficult to find the time for our special time with the Lord when a child or children are demanding so much of our time.  And we are mostly happy to give it to them.  So what do we do?  This is what “Mom Seeks God” is all about.   Moms often neglect their own spiritual encouragement and growth in the name of putting their family first. But a mom can’t fully demonstrate a solid spiritual life to her children without personally taking the time to pursue one.  Ms. Roller shares how she focused on one spiritual practice each month for a year and outlines ten essential spiritual disciplines for busy moms:   prayer, fellowship, submission, study, simplicity, silence, fasting, worship, service, and celebration.  Along with Ms. Roller by the time you finish the book you will discover that motherhood itself may be God’s most effective technique for forming a more faith-filled life.  Great book.
