He Gives More Grace

This is not a how-to manual or a book full of pithy advice. This is 30 days of sweet truth drawn from the deep well of Scripture. Sarah and Linda repeatedly offer the water of life for the thirsty mom’s soul. I found myself reading and rereading entries because of the robust grace they contain. This devotion will be a friend and a mentor to every mom who draws near. | I loved this! Honest stories, practical help and big grace for real mums, from real mums. This book is like a chat and a cup of coffee with a loving friend. It’s warm, honest, practical and filled with real life stories that set us free from the burden of trying to be supermum by continually pointing us to God’s generous grace. | Finding a good devotional book is harder than you think, and finding a thoughtful, hope-filled devotional for moms is even harder. That’s why we are happy to commend these reflections. The writing is accessible, the stories are honest, and the gospel encouragement can be felt on every page. What a needed reminder for moms (and all of us) that God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. | I wish I had had this devotional when my children were little! This will be a wonderful companion for every mom who has ever felt exasperated or exhausted in parenting and is looking for wisdom and encouragement—which truly is all of us. Sarah and Linda beautifully show us that God uses trials and weaknesses to mold us and our children, inspiring us to trust in God’s endless grace. | He Gives More Grace is for every mom living in the daily delights and challenges of motherhood. This book is not a formula for parenting but a respite of joy, written from voices of experience. Sarah and her mom, Linda, know what it is to cling to God’s grace—and they will show you how to do the same. If you wish you could have two wise and experienced friends come alongside you and lift your eyes to see more of the grace of God for you and for your children, this book is for you.” | Linda’s time-tested wisdom and Sarah’s trial-tried perspective make reading this devotional feel like sitting down with trusted mentors. They somehow not only know exactly what you need to hear but deliver it in a way that is astonishingly relatable, easily digestible, practically applicable, and miraculously memorable (even for the overcrowded brain of this mom of little kids). It’s not often that what feels like an easy read turns out to be a life-altering one, but that’s what you’ll find in this book: profound truths presented in a way that will make an immediate and beautiful impact on your motherhood journey. | At the heart of this book is a prayer and a poem. Need I say more The short, simple chapters ooze grace and wisdom while being gritty and real about the complexities of parenting. I particularly appreciated the inclusion of discussing chronic illness and children with additional needs, and the value the authors placed on diversity of parenting styles and temperaments. | A mother and daughter writing team? Even that is inherently hopeful for our own relationships with our kids! This devotional offers you that hope--and so much more. Sarah and Linda lead moms through 30 reflections, and each one makes big of God's gracious compassion toward us as we navigate the everyday trials of parenting in our complicated world. Each devotion will help you to lift up your eyes to the One from whom your help comes. | Sarah is the author of Hope When It Hurts. She is married to Jeff and is mother to four young children.
