Almost Holy Mama

Life-Giving Spiritual Practices for Weary Parents

De: Courtney Ellis

Narrado por: Courtney Ellis

With the honesty of a close friend, the hilarity of a late-night comic, and the humility of a mom up to her eyeballs in diapers and dishes, Courtney Ellis invites us on a journey to draw closer to God amidst the joyful, mundane, exhausting days of young parenthood. Probing ancient Christian practices for renewal, Almost Holy Mama chronicles one mom's quest to discover an answer to her most pressing question: Can God use the crucible of parenthood to grow us in virtue? Instead of adding more tasks, Almost Holy Mama will help you integrate your spiritual practices into your daily life. From studying Scripture in the shower to listening in prayer at the foot of Laundry Mountain to being forced into the discipline of stillness by a rough pregnancy, Ellis finds that meeting God in sacred disciplines can breathe new life into one of life's most joy-filled and trying seasons.

A Breath of Fresh Air

In a world that is constantly telling moms that they can get more done if they "hustle" a little harder or that we should take time to sit in solitude for hours a day to meditate, Courtney Ellis' Almost Holy Mama is a breath of fresh air. If you are overwhelmed and can't find any time to set aside for Jesus in the daily hustle and bustle of parenting this book is for you!

Finding Jesus in all that is Motherhood

A beautiful gift to struggling mamas. It may sound dramatic but I feel like Courtney has given me MY Jesus back- weaving Him into the mundane and transforming my routine. I am so grateful for this book. The Lord is always reaching for us, we just need to find ways to let Him- this book has helped me slow down, turn around, and let Him catch me. The rest we find in the hands of Jesus cannot be recreated or replaced. We NEED it. Our souls need it. Thank you, Courtney.

I feel seen

This brought tears to my eyes, it made me feel seen, as I wash my dishes, teach my children, wash laundry, I know I can do it all with the Grace of God, I love hearing Lincoln, Wilson and Courtney's baby girl!
