Summary:
Combining modern research, personal stories, professional experience, and real-life examples, Jeannie Cunnion shows parents how to embrace God's grace and let go of the pressures-external and internal-that come with raising children. Moms are under So. Much. Pressure. We moms are told that we have to get it all right so our kids turn out right. We're told that their entire futures are riding on our ability to perfectly orchestrate their lives. And we're told that the strength of their faith hinges on ours. And we begin to believe that if we just try hard enough, we can actually "be enough." These impossible standards leave us stuck in worry, anger, guilt, comparison, and shame. Jeannie Cunnion gets it. And in Mom Set Free she reveals how the Good News of the Gospel empowers us to live-and parent-in the freedom for which Christ has set us free. Jeannie invites us to journey alongside her as we learn to: Lay down what God has not asked us to carry so we can thrive in what He has. Embrace our significance in our children's lives in light of God's sovereignty. Trust God with the children He has entrusted to us. Receive God's grace so we can reflect God's heart to our kids.
