    About this audiobook

    For stay-at-home moms, it's easy to view other people's work as more valuable to God, dismissing the significance of seemingly mind-numbing, everyday tasks. In this life-giving book, Courtney Reissig encourages moms with the truth about God's perspective on their work: what the world sees as mundane, he sees as magnificent. Discussing the changing nature of stay-at-home work and the ultimate meaning of our identity as image bearers, Reissig combats common misunderstandings about the significance of at-home work-helping us see how Christ infuses purpose into every facet of the ordinary.

      I Preferred Being A Teenage Mum!

      Oct 18, 2022

      As the consultant lifted my 6lb 3oz baby girl into my arms, I felt that incomparable rush of love that every new mum feels – her warm skin against mine, her crumpled little newborn face. It was May 2022 and I’d just become a mum for the second time

      Helpful, practical, and loaded with counter-cultural (biblical) perspective. I’m extremely thankful for the way she addresses 1) guilt (whether false or real), especially when you work all day and don’t always have anything tangible to show from it and, 2) rest, particularly when you work from home or in the home and cannot physically separate your job from where you are supposed to rest.

      I will be reading this again and, should the Lord give us children, I know this will be a dear companion during that season.

      This book is really a book I could have truly benefited from about 25 years ago. It is definitely written from the viewpoint of a mom with littles. It is a well written biblically focused book and if you are a mom who is living the life of wife, mother to children at home and you need encouragement this is a great book for you.
    • 3/5
      I really liked the book itself, but the narrator literally sounds like Siri so I really hated the narration.
    • 1/5
      I found the first few chapters shallow and the narrator mundane. I clocked out.
