Book Review
What type of mom are you?
- Do you tend to put the needs of others ahead of your own?
- Do you find it difficult to say no?
- Is quiet time a luxury you only dream of?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, perhaps it’s time to read Hurry Less, Worry Less for Moms by Judy Christie!
Hurry Less, Worry Less for Moms is the latest in a series of books that Judy Christie has written to help women slow down and get more out of life. After interacting with thousands of overloaded, overscheduled and stressed out people each day, Judy wrote a book specifically for moms because they topped the list of worn out people she was meeting! Motherhood adds extra layers of responsibility and activity into women’s lives. Judy provides strategies for lightening their loads!
Judy believes it is impossible for moms to live fully when they are hurried and worried all of the time! To help moms live the most rewarding lives possible, Judy offers small but powerful steps they can take to immediately regain a sense of control over their lives. Her advice is practical and her priorities are well-placed. Judy’s book contains plenty of encouragement, anecdotes, and biblical wisdom, as well as a discussion guide moms can use to support one another in changing their lives.
What I enjoyed most about this book was that it was full of gentle reminders regarding things I know but often forget. Here’s an example of a passage that really spoke to my heart:
Remember: Wherever “here” is in your life, it is a perfect spot from which to take a new look. “Here” is the place where God is going to use you; it is the place where you will grow; it is the spot where you will touch the lives of your family members in a way that no one else on the entire planet can.
“Here” is the jumping-off point for making changes you have needed or wanted to make for a while or for helping you find contentment in the life you have.
