Fit to Burst

Abundance, Mayhem, and the Joys of Motherhood

De: Rachel Jankovic

Narrado por: Rachel Jankovic

Fit to Burst is a book of parenting "field notes" written by a mom in the thick of it all. It is chock-full of humorous examples and fresh advice covering issues familiar to moms, such as guilt cycles, temptations to be ungrateful or bitter, enjoying your kids, and learning how to honor Jesus by giving even in the mundane stuff. But this book also addresses less familiar topics, including the impact moms have on the relationships between dads and kids, the importance of knowing when to laugh at kid-sized sin, and more.

A thoughtful follow-up to Loving the Little Years, Rachel's first book, Fit to Burst will help us to be moms who parent with the story in mind rather than the snapshot, who know how to give much and to require much from their children in the everyday mayhem, and who understand the importance of biscuits.

A note from Rachel: "I don't pull punches or hold back in this book, because I am writing to myself as much as to you. If something in this book strikes a little close to home for you, know that it struck in my home first. I am not writing about other people's problems, although I know many of them are common. I write about what I know, and what I know is the challenges, the joys, and the work involved in raising little people."

Great book

Very real stance on motherhood for the glory of God and so very in tune with the reality of struggles and thoughts moms (actually) have and eloquently discusses the thoughts moms should cling to from scripture during their life long pursuit of motherhood. She covers many topics-this book is worth listening to.

A must for all mamas!

Such a good reminder for all to hear..just what I needed to hear to remind myself to continue to press on towards Christ in this journey of motherhood.

Great biblical teaching for mothers

This short book was great. Just what I needed on my parenting journey. Full of scripture and truth from Gods word. She is humorous and yet she challenged me and exhorted me to godliness in my mothering.

I will listen to this book again and again

I absolutely enjoyed this book. I will be referring to it often for gentle reminding

Wonderful and motivating

I have been deeply encouraged by this wonderful book. She keeps it real and godly. I truly appreciate this author. Grateful to have been recommended this book. Really needed it this season of motherhood.
