About the book: The first months and years of motherhood can be the most challenging and disorienting of your life---and faith. When you're surrounded by the happy chaos of children, how do you spend quiet time with God if the only quiet time you get is while you sleep? How can you demonstrate a solid spiritual life to your children if you don't have time to pursue one yourself? When Julia Roller discovered that her spiritual growth had been stunted by the busyness of life with her toddler, she embarked on a yearlong journey through ten spiritual disciplines: prayer, fellowship, submission, study, simplicity, silence, worship, fasting, service, and celebration. As she focused on each discipline, she discovered practical ways to observe them---even in the chaos of her every day.
About The Author: About the Author: Julia Roller is an author and editor. Her books include Mom Seeks God (Abingdon Press), A Year with God (with Richard J.

My Thoughts About The Book: As a grandmother of grown grandchildren all I can think is how I would have loved this book when I was the mother of small children! Throughout the book it feels as if Julia Roller comes beside you, affirming, encouraging, and motivating young, busy mothers to seek God. She lets her readers know that if God takes you to it he will most definitely bring you through it. I highly recommend for any busy mom who wants more. This book would be a great book for new moms.
