Pressing Pause: A Book for Moms Who Need a Moment to Themselves

Kids bickering? Schedule jam-packed? Dishes and laundry both piled up high? Perhaps it's time you pressed pause. {Book provided for review/feature consideration}

It is often said that once people have children, their lives no longer belong to them. Parents begin to put their own needs aside in order to ensure their children are happy and cared for.
Moms in particular often crave a few moments of silence in the middle of their busy days. After meal prep, carpools, commutes, work, homework, laundry, bath time and bedtime, when can you fit in that precious “me time”? Overly planned schedules and go-go-go lifestyles mean that most moms are yearning for the chance to hit the pause button and claim a moment to themselves.

In Pressing Pause: 100 Quiet Moment for Moms to Meet with Jesus, Karen Ehman and Ruth Schwenk offer you a calm way to start your day, to refresh yourself in Jesus and drink deeply of His presence so that you are ready to pour out love, time, and energy into the people who matter most to you.

Karen, a New York Times bestselling author and Proverbs 31 speaker, and Ruth, a hugely popular blogger and creator of The Better Mom, reach moms where they are with short devotions tailored specifically to their needs. Each entry refreshes your spirit by showing you love and support that you are in turn able to pour into your family, friends, and career. 

In these pages, moms will learn to resist the rush, halt the hustle, press pause, and find calm in the chaos. Just a few minutes each day can help you center your heart and mind on what God has for you as His beloved daughter. What a truly refreshing way to revitalize and re-energize your day! Until next time...
