Publisher's summary

Mama of 10 Abbie Halberstadt helps women humbly and gracefully rise to the high calling of motherhood without settling for mediocrity or losing their minds in the process.

Motherhood is a challenge. Unfortunately, our worldly culture offers moms little in the way of real help. Mamas only connect to celebrate surviving another day and to share in their misery, rather than rejoice in what God has done and to build each other up in hard times. There has a be a better way, a biblical way, for mamas to grow and thrive.

As a daughter of Christ, you have been called to be more than an average mama. Attaining excellence doesn't have to be unsettling, but it will take committed focus and a desire to parent well according to God's grace and for his glory.

M Is for Mama offers advice, encouragement, and scripturally sound strategies seasoned with a little bit of humor to help you embrace the challenge of biblical motherhood and raise your children with love and wisdom.

Mama, you are worthy of the awesome responsibility God has given you. Now it's time to start believing you can live up to it.

Every parents guide to parenting

I was blow away by this book. I’m not someone that enjoys reading books but I could stop listening to this. Maybe 1/4 in I decided to buy the book because it has so much biblical meat that I want to re-read and highlight and journal. So yes I’m planning to go through it again in a few weeks so I can pray and meditate over it. I gush over this book to anyone. I bought a few extra copies to pass out as needed. Thank you Abbie for follow Hods footsteps and writing this book. This once lazy Christian and mom is so grateful.

Spoke to my soul

I really do appreciate this book. I came across it at a time in my life that I am seeking to improve my role as a mother, and wife, and business owner. I am looking forward to reading/listening again, as well as share it with my friends.

Recommended to all my friends

The best book I have read! This book is relatable, yet encouraging. As a stay at home mom who is new to the homeschool journey, this has been a wonderful resource The author ties in so much scripture that it has been such an inspiration to me to get into the word more. She speaks raw truth with practical wisdom to implement Christlike parenting! Love it!

Amazing!

Love this! So encouraging and convicting. I cried several times, and came away with a renewed love for God, Scripture, and my family. This book has been such a blessing for me. If you’re on the fence, check it out! Would make a great gift.

Great book! Convicting too.

I really enjoyed listening to this book. It has really convicted me on some things and has encouraged me to do something about those convictions.

Thankful

This book came at the perfect time, after a ice storm and being shut-in with my 3 tinys for a week and all my nerves shot, I asked God “please show me how to fix my horrible attitude toward my kids!”
He answers prayers y'all. This book convicted, challenged, and healed my mama heart! Thank you, God, for Abbie and the message you graced her with! Thank you Abbie for your obedience to the Holy Spirit leading 🤍

Convicting and Encouraging

An amazing reminder of where our priorities should lie, how motherhood can look when we look to God's word for guidance, and how we need God's help in raising up the little humans He has blessed us with.

What an encouragement

Just loved her outlook on mama hood and encouragement to go against the societal norm of wallowing in the hard parts of motherhood and instead having a heart of gratitude.

Sharing with every mom friend I have!

I can’t explain how grateful for, convicted and inspired by, and in love with this book I am. As a new mom, it’s the perfect combo of inspiring and butt-kicking that encourages me to choose the hard but good over the easy. Thank you, Abbie, for writing it. P.S. Abbie’s voice is so beautiful, it made the book that much better!!

Excellent Christ-centered guide for any mamma!

Lord, how I wish this book was available for me 10 years ago!! Although I may not have read it then because my heart was not in the right place…
I definitely think the Bible-based wisdom that Abbie offers is exactly what any God-fearing momma needs to hear, as opposed to the “you-do-you” ideology that permeates secular -and even not so secular- circles.
If I could give 10/5 stars I would! Additionally, I love the narration by Abbie herself; gives it greater feel of authenticity and trustworthiness to the listening.

Abbie, if you read this, thank you for writing this book, from the bottom of my heart.

Anita :)
