About this audiobook
Sometimes life feels a lot like a burden-day-in and day-out its the same chores and tasks, challenges and discouragements, anxieties and responsibilities. Dust bunnies show up on the stairwell, social commitments clutter the calendar, and our families demand daily attention and care. At times, just catching our breath seems like an impossible feat.So where is God in all of this? Does he care about the way we unload the dishwasher or balance the budget? Do the little things like changing diapers or cooking meals make a difference? And how can we use our spheres of influence for God's glory and our joy?Whether you are a stay-at-home mom or a working woman splitting time between the office and home, Gloria Furman-writer, pastor's wife, cross-cultural worker, and mom-encourages us to see the reality of God's grace in all of life, especially those areas that often appear to be boring and unimportant. Using personal examples and insightful stories, her richly theological reflections help us experience the gospel's extraordinary power to transform our ordinary lives.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Excellent, full of truth that truly gets us through life.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Both a very encouraging and convicting read! Would definitely recommend!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I absolutely loved this book, Gloria is real, honest and this book stepped on my toes ( in a good way) every page. I can relate to her so much. Scripture at the right time. I am so glad the Lord led her to write this book. I hated to see it end. I will definitely read this again and recommend it to every woman. Thank you and God Bless you all.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book was amazing! I highly recommend it to all women! Very theologically sound.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I really enjoyed how this author took you into her daily life and showed you her struggles and how she is learning how to handle them in a way that glorifies God and clings to the gospel of grace. She is a stay-at-home mom, a writer, and in a cross-cultural environment and it was interesting and encouraging to read those things she is learning.I liked her beginning thoughts on why she wrote this book: "We live in God's world, we're made in God's image, and we interact with other people who have eternal souls. That makes theology vastly important and immensely life changing in our everyday mundane. Theology is for homemakers who need to know who God is, who they are, and what this mundane life is all about."
