Calm in My Chaos: Encouragement for a Mom's Weary Soul

Front Cover
Kregel Publications, Jan 1, 2001 - Religion - 155 pages
At times, a mother's life can be anything but inspiring--2 a.m. feedings, loneliness, no vacation days, sibling rivalries. Even the best intentions of raising God-fearing, obedient, happy kids can fall flat in the midst of chaos. Calm in My Chaos takes an honest look at a mother's world and offer practical advice on common experiences including being content in every circumstance, modeling God-like characteristics, overcoming cabin fever, and being the "real" you.
