Fit to Burst: Abundance, Mayhem, and the Joys of Motherhood by Rachel Jankovic
5.0
I think every single mom needs to read this book, and then read it again and again until the truths sink in deeper and deeper. There are so many parenting books out there, so much advice on social media, it's easy to get lost in the noise and not even know what to think about being a mom. This book was what I needed. This book was a balm to my heart.
Rachel Jankovic writes in a way that is painfully relatable; she gets to the heart of the issue every single time. She is also incredibly convicting without making you feel depressed, because she brings it all back to Jesus and His grace every single time. She approaches every aspect of motherhood through the lens of the gospel (including food, which was one of my favorite parts of the books). The whole time I was reading, I kept thinking, "This makes sense! I never thought about things this way! Oh... so this is why what I am doing isn't working, etc." I'm planning on reading this again with my husband, and I think this will be a book I end up reading at least once a year to help me bring my ever-wandering and easily discouraged heart and mind back into alignment with how we truly ought to view and execute motherhood.
Thank you, Rachel, for unabashedly proclaiming truth to us mothers in a way not many people are willing to do.
