  Mom Is Born

  $19.99

  Rachael Elmore, a mother of two and a licensed mental health counselor who specializes in treating postpartum depression and anxiety, comes alongside new moms and gives them the practical tools and biblical wisdom they need to take care of themselves and become the connected and emotional healthy mothers God designed them to be.

  Most new moms know that the first year is going to be to be full of joys and challenges, peaks and valleys. But even though they’ve prepared themselves as much as they can, they still find themselves thinking, I knew this was going to be hard. But will it always be this hard? This wasn’t what I was expecting, what if I don’t know how to take care of this baby–or myself?

  Rachael Elmore has been there and knows on a personal and professional level how hard the early days and months of motherhood can be. In A Mom Is Born she takes her expertise as a licensed and clinical counselor and pairs it with her deeply personal story of overcoming postpartum depression after the birth of her first son. She comes alongside readers with practical tools–such as the New Mom Wellness Plan and a postpartum progress checklist–to help find the balance between taking care of their new baby and taking care of themselves. Using scripture and therapeutic insights, Elmore shows mothers how to:

  *develop a biblical plan for navigating new motherhood, the baby blues, and postpartum depression;

  *stop intrusive thoughts and triggers in their tracks and overcome postpartum anxiety;

  *process and manage all of the new emotions they are facing; and

  *start implementing small acts of self-care that will lead to emotional health.

  A Mom Is Born gives moms the tools they need to stop spinning in the overwhelming emotions and anxieties of new motherhood and start taking care of themselves so that they can be the connected and emotionally healthy moms God designed them to be.

  Dear Future Mama

  $28.99

  The real talk you want about pregnancy, birth, body image, and the newborn days from Meghan Trainor, the chart-topping singer-songwriter behind “All About That Bass” and “Dear Future Husband,” and, more importantly, Riley’s mom.

  Meghan Trainor has wanted to be a mom since before she even knew how babies were made. From the moment she discovered she was pregnant with her first child–her son, Riley–she was fascinated by the entire experience.

  Yes, pregnancy and motherhood are miracles–but even a miracle can freak you out sometimes. Everyone has an opinion on what an expectant mother should feel, think, or do during her pregnancy, and it’s hard not to feel overwhelmed with app notifications, well-meaning questions, and unsolicited advice that comes from friends, family, and perfect strangers.

  Dear Future Mama is a heartfelt and humorous guide for expectant mamas inspired by Meghan’s own journey into motherhood and expert insights from Meghan’s own personal trainer, registered dietitian, husband, and ob-gyn. No shame, no judgment–just straight talk (and laughs) from a bestie who’s been there, including:

  *a TMI guide to the good, bad, and WTF of conception, pregnancy, and childbirth

  *advice about everything from ovulation apps to random hair growth

  *Meghan’s personal stories about body image, mental health, and navigating her career path as a new mother

  *permission to find the right path for you–ignoring the judgment of others and freeing yourself from the shifting standards of motherhood

  Dear Future Mama offers future mamas a place to relax, laugh out loud, and get the pep talk they need to know that they are absolutely not alone.

  If Mama Aint Happy

  $17.99

  Are you weary? Stressed? Depressed, anxious, and annoyed? And, to top it all off, do you feel guilty for feeling bad? Rachel Norman gets you, mama. She knows how much you love your kids. And how, day after day, you put your family’s needs first, which means your own needs come last. Or don’t come at all.

  Rachel used to be a mom who spent her days weary, anxious, and guilt laden. She had five kids in five years, lived on three different continents, and then was blindsided by a devastating health diagnosis. Neglecting her own physical, spiritual, mental, and emotional needs for so long–in an effort to be a selfless mother–had left her utterly depleted. And physically unwell. Then she began asking a question she’d never considered before: Could it be that taking good care of myself is not actually selfish, but maybe, just maybe, something a responsible adult does? In this countercultural book, Rachel takes some weight off your shoulders by:

  *offering hands-on, rubber-meets-the-road strategies to cultivate a life you aren’t trying to constantly escape

  *teaching you to discover and claim your own limits and boundaries so you can be a calm, resilient, peaceful mother

  *showing you how to shape your daily life and values around the few things that really matter, and how to let the rest go

  If mama ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy. But when mama is at peace? Everyone benefits.

  Everyday Prayers For The School Year

  $14.99

  Moms know all too well that God doesn’t promise an easy road for us–or our kids. As much as we’d love to protect them from heartaches, it just isn’t possible. This is especially true during the school year, when they are introduced to new teachers, new classmates, new concepts, and maybe even a new school that seems big and frightening.

  Jesus tells us, “In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world” (John 16:33). With this reassurance, we try to reassure our children that no matter what, God is there and He’s on their side.

  And we pray.

  In Everyday Prayers for the School Year, author Tara L. Cole offers devotional readings and opportunities for mothers to pray for many issues concerning their children, such as:

  *Are they making godly friends?
  *Are their teachers kind and caring?
  *Can they make wise choices in bad situations?
  *Will they commit to studying?
  *Are they being targeted by bullies?
  *If they are unprepared for a test, will they trust God or cheat?

  No matter what our kids are facing during the school year, we can’t go wrong when we pray and teach them to pray too.

  Our prayer is that they ultimately trust Him for their salvation, but even after they become Christians, they have the daily choice to trust God when they feel like they are standing alone and the circumstances look impossible.

  Tara says, “My hope for this journal is that it will help moms turn their worry about their children’s school year into hope, that they take their concerns to God and walk away confident that He loves our kids more than we do. And He is in control.”

  M Is For Mama

  $19.99

  Mother-of-10 Abbie Halberstadt helps woman humbly and gracefully rise to the high calling of motherhood without settling for mediocrity or losing their minds in the process.

  When it comes to being a good mom in today’s culture, the bar is set embarrassingly low, especially when compared to God’s standard. Mere survival is seen as a badge of honor and hanging on ’til “wine-o-clock” a goal to be strived for.

  As a daughter of Christ, you have been called to be more than an average mom. Attaining excellence doesn’t have to be unsettling but it will take committed focus and a desire to parent well according to God’s grace and for His glory.

  M is for Mama offers advice, encouragement, and scripturally sound strategies seasoned with a little bit of humor to help you embrace the challenge of biblical motherhood and raise your children with love and wisdom.

  Mom, you are worthy of the awesome responsibility God has given you. Now it’s time to start believing you can live up to it.

  As society continues to blur the lines of what is good, true, and acceptable, God’s standards remain clear and unchanging. This book will give you the wisdom to confidently raise your children to understand sex and gender through a biblical lens.
