Emily A. Jensen and Laura Wifler, bestselling authors of Risen Motherhood [over 150,000 copies sold], show moms how to navigate their everyday decisions and current circumstances through a biblical lens, and experience the freedom and confidence in who God made them to be. If there's one thing moms love, it's a formula. Give us the three-step process, the instruction manual, the straightforward solution for how to mother with excellence and we'll give it our best shot. But we all know motherhood isn't that simple. Each decision seems to present a thousand overwhelming options, or our circumstances suddenly change and we can't keep up with "the plan," or we see another mom making different choices and begin to doubt our own. All of this leaves us questioning our decision-making in motherhood. So how can we find a secure identity in motherhood and know we're "good" before the throne of God? By understanding the gospel story and how all of scripture applies to our lives. We need more than just to know what to do. We need to know who to be. Join Emily and Laura as together you explore what it truly means to be a gospel mom, a woman who is renewed by Christ's righteousness, knows her mission and purpose, and lives free from guilt and unhealthy comparison. As friends, fellow moms, and expert guides, Emily and Laura walk you step-by-step through the practices and thinking of how to rest in the grace of Christ, gaining peace and assurance in your motherhood. Review: Great! - Great book, very sound, and great Biblical insight on motherhood. Review: Sadly, disappointing. - I was hoping that this book would give more practical advice on how to navigate motherhood as a Christian. I was really looking forward to tips on how to deal with mum rage, guilt, expectations and raising a family aligned to the gospel. However, this book didn't really deliver. It spent a lot of time unpacking what the gospel is and the basic tenants of Christianity. The second half of the book was 'meant' to be more practical, but was often vague.

Core Truths Every Mom Needs to Hear
“Gospel Mom” gives a very thorough explanation of the various parts of the Gospel message. This book is more theologically focused on the Gospel itself, and how that overflows into our motherhood. Risen Motherhood (the first book I read from these fantastic authors) is another excellent book on encouragement for moms in light of God’s Word, focusing on daily happenings and applications moreso and weaving the truth of Scripture throughout. These two books are grounded in the same truth, but serve those different purposes for the reader. Gospel Mom also connects the parts of the Gospel message with our everyday need for this truth and how to apply it to our mindset as moms who are trying to honor God with our parenting. I felt as if this book wasn’t just focused on motherhood, but on aligning my heart with God’s priorities and will for my life, and how my mothering overflows from that. I also appreciate the practical applications in the last third of the book for modern Christian motherhood debates and practices, as well as the very practical and biblically sound appendices. I would recommend this book to any mom who struggles with her own worth or value as a believer in Christ, abilities as a mom, or just wants to honor the Lord more as she stewards parenting her children.
