Out Of The Spin Cycle: Devotions To Lighten Your Mother Load (2010) - Plot & Excerpts
I read this book for my MOPS Steering team Bible Study. I had not heard of Jen Hatmaker or the book Out of the Spincycle until that time.I absolutely LOVED this book for the following reasons:1) Jen speaks to mothers about mothering. She talks about the things that some of us only think because we are afraid of all the "perfect" moms looking down their noses at us. But she is honest, straight forward, and provides thought-provoking solutions that are biblical.2) She is just plain funny!3) The devotionals are short and to the point. Let's face it! I have a 3 year old and infant twins. I don't have time for hours on end studying the Bible right now (ok Perfect moms...you can stone me now). These devotionals allow me to focus on various aspects of motherhood from a biblical perspective without having to spend hours on end that I don't have. For all new moms (and moms that have been at it for awhile) this is a devotional for you. I'm curious now to read some of her other books. "Authenticity ranks terribly high on Jesus's list of required attributes. It's not how good we are that counts, but how truthful we are about how good we're not. Only then can Jesus get busy developing us into the redeemed daughters we already are in him."6/19: I have just started this book, am into Chapter 3, and am already LOVING it! Jen's stories are so authentic and relatable... she has some great wisdom, and I can't wait to read more!
