Motherhood is a challenge. Unfortunately, our worldly culture offers moms little in the way of real help. Mamas only connect to celebrate surviving another day and to share in their misery, rather than rejoice in what God has done and to build each other up in hard times. There has a be a better way, a biblical way, for mamas to grow and thrive. M Is for Mama offers advice, encouragement, and scripturally sound strategies seasoned with a little bit of humor to help you embrace the challenge of biblical motherhood and raise your children with love and wisdom.

In Holy Hygge, author Jamie Erickson unites the popular Danish practice with the deep theological truths of the gospel. She unpacks the seven tenets of hygge: hospitality, relationships, well-being, atmosphere, comfort, contentment, and rest. In addition, Erickson shows how the external veneer of a lifestyle can create a life-giving home only when placed under the hope of the gospel. Holy Hygge provides practical ideas for using hygge to gather people and introduce them to faith in Christ.

With the story of her conversion as a backdrop, Rosaria Butterfield invites us into her home to show us how God can use “radical, ordinary hospitality” to bring the Gospel to our lost friends and neighbors. Such hospitality sees our homes as not our own but as God’s tools for the furtherance of his kingdom as we welcome those who look, think, believe, and act differently from us into our everyday, sometimes messy lives - helping them see what true Christian faith really looks like.

Over the past 50 years, rates of autoimmunity and chronic disease have exploded. In this provocative book, Dr. Thomas Cowan argues for a direct causal relationship to a corresponding increase in the number of vaccines American children typically receive. The goal of these vaccines is precisely what we’re now seeing in such abundance among our chronically ill children: the provocation of immune response. Cowan looks at emerging evidence that certain childhood illnesses are actually protective of disease later in life.

Beloved author Sally Clarkson ( The Lifegiving Home, Own Your Life, Desperate) believes that meals lovingly served at home - and the time spent gathered together around the table - are a much-needed way to connect more deeply with our families and open our kids' hearts. Food and faith, mingled in everyday life, become the combination for passing on God's love to each person who breaks bread with us.

Many homeschool parents have a long-term relationship with self-doubt. "Did I make the right decision?" "Could someone else do this better?" "Am I robbing my kids of something by not sending them to 'regular school'?" What if there's a better way? Not a three-step technique or a shiny, new curriculum but a change in perspective that transforms the way you plan, teach, and homeschool?

inspirant
une fois qu'on s'habitue au style de l'écriture, c'est inspirant et donne beaucoup d'idées pour établir une culture familiale forte. il y a beaucoup d'annotations qui dérangent à l'écoute mais qui seraient tout à fait normale à la lecture. je le recommande.

This book left me feeling completely inadequate
This book was fantastic until somewhere around the May chapter. Previous the May chapter, Sally’s and Sara’s word where life Giving. I felt inspired and related to their vision and heart towards God. But then, something switched in the writing. As i closed this book, it left me feeling inadequate. A failure. And completely overwhelming me with what I’m not achieving in my home. It’s left me feeling anger towards my apparently lazy non appreciative family. Sally’s words have brought to light that I have failed at creating a family culture that is beautiful and brings glory to God. I also feel like I have wasted time where I should have had laid down traditions. I also feel like she’s lying. There’s absolutely no way one can achieve all that she suggests or gives examples of what she does daily to worship God. The book began to morph in a list of bragging- like and printed Instagram profile.
It truly feels as if this book was a sledgehammer to my confidence. Where I was strong before With a foundation strong in my faith and family life, now feels like broken pieces and dust of that foundation. I know that this was not the intention of the writers , or maybe it was? A week ago I felt so convicted in my role as a wife and stay at home and homeschooling mother. Now the role feels insufficient.
I am utterly disappointed by what I had envisioned this book to be.

Not what I expected
Any additional comments?
I was looking forward to reading this book as it got so many rave reviews. 4 months later & I'm almost finished. It's been a slow process of forcing myself to get through this. The author is so dramatic & descriptive (excessively so) that you loose what point she's trying to make. The narrator of this book made it worse. These two combined just gave off an antagonizing perspective of what ideals we should live up to. I feel this book also doesn't take into consideration everyone different socioeconomic and diverse backgrounds.

More For Reference
What a great book!
Full of inspiration and encouragement for making life more meaningful. But I approached it as a book & I feel it should be used more as a reference, reading sections as they are applicable.
I am a mom of four smaller kids & realistically this is not the season for me to try implementing all the ideas in the book. But I was given ideas and visions for what I want to do with my family and there are some ideas that are feasible now.
Definitely read this with an open mind that each family & situation is different. I live in a way tinier apartment than the author so with a lot of her ideas I had to be open to what the actual end goal was and understand that personally I would have to go about it differently.
If you are in a season of life where you’re just trying to survive and feed your kids & get laundry done & even homeschool ~ you may want to shelf this book for a time where you don’t feel like you’re ‘drowning’.

Ugh... not do-able
It’s the same reason I don’t follow Chip and Joanna anymore. I have issues with feeling like a failure and jealous/envy. Longing to have these type dreams and have them BUT theres just not an option for every budget, dreamer, or family. Wish I wouldn’t even have started this book. Happy for the Clarksons experience and happy for Chip and Joanna... more blessings to them.

Want to be blessed?
This book shook my soul. I don’t even know why I bought it really. I’ve never been one to invite anyone over, I like my solitude and don’t deal well with stress. My house is my protective bubble of peace.
I don’t have time to discuss how this book has me backpedaling my life as far as I can but I’ve already called my adult daughter and scheduled bi-monthly family meetings so we can reconnect and help one another with dreams, goals, and prayer support. I’m considering starting a “daily tea” just as something wonderful to look forward to in our homeschool workdays.
This book is completely full with dreamy ideas that will bring joy to your family and even if you are without family, she shows you how to draw friends in and create a family. I loved this book so much, I am making my purchase today for the printed version.

Excellent resource
This book is an excellent resource for families looking for deep inspiration and ideas in creating their family culture. Listening to this book inspired me to make homemade bread, play soft music, light a candle and hold my daughter a little closer while I whispered God’s love in her tiny ear. From blessing children, creating traditions and honoring God in every area of life, this sweet book is a comprehensive guide to creating an environment in which children can live and flourish under God’s grace and their parents’ love. It is a guide to joy, laughter and celebration in every season of life.

inspired and inspiring
I have been hesitant to get this book, or the other 2 in the series, because of some reviews that said some not flattering things. I have loved other books by Sally, and finally decided to jump into this one. I was not disappointed. Even if I never read the rest of the book, Sarah's words in chapter 2 are an epiphany of sorts, and the book as a whole has been worth every moment I spent listening to it, and then some.

Not for me
I was excited to try this book because the reviews looked great and it seemed to have a positive message that would bless my life.
I hated it. I didn't finish the book or even get half way. Perhaps I would have grown to adore it. I don't know, I just couldn't take how descriptive it was without getting too the point. I think the introduction to the book was over half an hour. The narrator is dramatic and normally that's good but it seemed to just antagonize me all the more.
This book was just not for me.
