In this book she passes on to others what she learned in the process of getting her life back in perspective. She discusses some ways moms can live a life filled with reflective moments even in chaos, including finding solitude, walking with God, making use of some of the traditional spiritual disciplines, using the senses, and listening to God. With ideas from a variety of mothers in all seasons of life, this book offers creative, practical, and enjoyable suggestions to help you walk closely with God through the wonderful and challenging chaos of raising a family.
