"No one ever tells you that motherhood is some of the most amazing spiritual training ground around. Which is why I'm thrilled Julia Roller does it in Mom Seeks God! New moms and veteran moms alike will love and learn from what Roller has to say about discovering God and practicing the disciplines right in the midst of motherhood." -Caryn Rivadeneira, author of Known and Loved: 52 Devotions from the Psalms
"Instead of an idealized (an unrealistic) depiction of 'supermom,' with disarming honesty Julia Roller describes both the difficulties and surprising growth that can be found in the many beauties and struggles of motherhood. And rather than a prescription of more tasks to put on your spiritual to-do list, Mom Seeks God depicts the spiritual disciplines as freeing invitations-opportunities to peel back the "Mom" label and be the real you with God. In this courageously vulnerable book, Roller depicts for us a spiritual richness mined through the deep, hard soul-work of parenting."
