Book Review ~ Out of the Spin Cycle

Following Jesus shouldn't be just one more thing to do.

Motherhood sometimes feels like a list of expectations. You may be busy or even overwhelmed. But you are also strong and brilliant. And here's a secret: a lot of those things on your list of expectations are things Jesus never expected you to do on your own.

In Out of the Spin Cycle, author and speaker Jen Hatmaker takes the words and deeds of Jesus, adds the humor of a young mom's life, and offers messages of grace and encouragement. Covering areas such as worry, marriage, priorities, money, and the comparison trap, this dynamic Bible teacher brings Jesus's message alive in short, to-the-point devotionals for your busy life. This is a devotional for you--the woman inside the mom--the Bible student, the learner, the world-changer.

So put aside that to-do list for a moment and discover the ways Jesus can lighten your mother load.

I absolutely loved this book.

Loved.it.

Each chapter is it's own topic, and each topic has an applicable Bible passage that ties in. The author does a great job of explaining the passage and making it very "modern day".

She poses thought provoking and certainly conversation starting questions at the end of each devotional, along with a Step Out Of The Spin Cycle suggestion.

Author Jen Hatmaker is refreshingly funny and authentic as she shares her own mothering experiences. I loved her conversational style of writing. It felt like we were just sitting together, talking over a cup of coffee. I found myself nodding and smiling a lot throughout this book. It's a keeper for sure.
