NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Life is messy for each of us. But Jen Hatmaker reminds us that it's okay to admit that we're all in the same boat. Join New York Times bestselling author and honorary big sister Jen as she shares hilarious tales, shameless honesty, and unconditional hope for the woman who's forgotten her moxie.

We will endure discouragement, heartbreak, failure, and suffering. All of us. And more than once. But we are the very same folks who can experience triumph, perseverance, joy, and rebirth. More than once. And in more than one category. And in more than one season. And that? That's moxie.

Moxie reaches for laughter, for courage, for the deep and important truth that women are capable of weathering the storm. We are not victims, we are not weak, we are not a sad, defeated group of sob sisters. Yes, life is hard, but we are incredibly resilient.

Of Mess and Moxie shines a light on Jen's own triumphs and tragedies into a sigh of relief for all normal, fierce women everywhere. Whether it's the time she drove to the wrong city for a fourth-grade field trip or the way she learned to truly forgive, she offers a reminder to those of us who sometimes hide in the car eating crackers that we do actually have the moxie to get back up and face our messes head-on. After all, this race is not a contest--there's enough abundance to go around.

This book will give you the encouragement you need to remember that:

• Your mess is normal
• You are not in competition with your peers--your seat at the table is secure
• You have incredible gifts to offer

Come alongside Jen as she teaches us that we can all choose to live undaunted and in the moment, no matter what the moments hold, and we really can lead vibrant, courageous, grace-filled lives.

Christian Brene Brown

I did not realize that I had downloaded a Christian book, and I knew nothing about the author. Similar flavor to Brenda Brown but without the researcher/academic vibe.

I loved the genuine quality of her story telling and her brass humor.

I find it unbelievable (from a psychological perspective) that she had nothing to heal in the respect to her parents/childhood. The idealized parent section was the only part that gave me pause.

But very enjoyable! I cried, I laughed, I'll recommends it to others.

Loved Every Second

I laughed. I cried. I felt the feels with this book. I love that Jen read this herself. It made me feel like she was my best friend and we were just talking. Highly recommend.

Funny and Entertaining

This was a easy listen. There are a few recipes- I wish when we purchase an Audible book, it would come with supplemental pages for reference material or a free Kindle book.
Jen narrates and her personality will make you laugh out loud. I appreciate her honesty and her perspective on life, family, and friends. #audicted #friends #self-effacing #humor #family #tagsgiving #sweepstakes

My Favorite book she's written to date!!

I absolutely loved this book to the core of my being..I laughed hysterically... I sobbed..I nodded in agreement..I felt gratitude in my heart for my friends family and child..her transparency was raw and relevant... I adored this book!!!

Truth!

Yes! This is truth, life, joy, messes, laughter, and love! Thanks to Jen Hatmaker for writing this!

Delightful!

Though much of the book relates to being married with kids and living in Texas (me: unmarried, no kids, living in Arizona) I still felt I could relate to so much if this book and was thoroughly entertained, encouraged and inspired. This is one where I’m certain the audiobook experience far exceeds the paperback; hearing these words with all the accents and emphasis was a delight.

Loved it! Healing to my heart!

I loved hearing Jen read the book. It healed my heart in places I didn't know were hurting.

I Need More

In Jen you feel like you've made a friend. There's truth you say, "AMEN!" to, lessons you learn & take to heart and grow in, and laughter you can't keep contained.
As a mom, daughter, sister, friend, wife and believer, this book touched ALL the places of my heart and opened so many great doors of conversation!

Jen!

I absolutely love all her books! I feel like she's part of my tribe! And I love getting to hear her voice read these books! So fun!

Found my soul sister

Jen is real and raw and says exactly what we’re all thinking and feeling. The sharing of her journey reminds us that we’re not alone on ours.
