About the Book

The first months and years of motherhood can be the most challenging and disorienting of your life—and faith. When you’re surrounded by the happy chaos of children, how do you spend quiet time with God if the only quiet time you get is while you sleep?

How can you demonstrate a solid spiritual life to your children if you don’t have time to pursue one yourself? I felt stalled in my spiritual growth by the busyness of life with her toddler, so I embarked on a yearlong journey through ten spiritual disciplines: prayer, fellowship, submission, study, simplicity, silence, worship, fasting, service, and celebration.

As I focused on each discipline, I discovered practical ways to observe them—even in the chaos of the everyday. Mom Seeks God offers a highly relatable story and useful advice to help new moms grow in their faith as they address life changes with grace, patience, and prayer.

As readers discover ten essential faith practices, they’ll learn that motherhood, itself, is a spiritual discipline, and may be God’s most effective technique for forming a more Christ-like life.

This is a book for mothers, to be sure. But it is just as much a book for fathers. Indeed, it contains ample life lessons for parents-to-be and for parents-who-have-been. The stories charm us. The lessons instruct us. The insights guide us. Tolle lege, take and read.

How do we experience the spiritual disciplines when a mom’s day is the opposite of ‘disciplined’? Julia gives us ancient wisdom boiled down into doable steps so that we can experience our beautiful God in the midst of our messy lives.

It is no secret that having a child profoundly changes our spiritual lives.  We are never the same.  Julia’s honest, forthright and beautifully described journey of practically pursuing the with-God life in the midst of motherhood is an encouragement to me as a fellow-mom and follower of Jesus.

Any parent who has ever struggled with feelings of inadequacy will appreciate Julia Roller’s companionable memoir of her experiences with twelve—make that ten—spiritual practices. Written for readers who feel guilt at the very word “prayer” and terror at the idea of an all-out fast, this book offers a friendly introduction to spiritual practice.

Instead of an idealized (an unrealistic) depiction of ‘supermom,’ with disarming honesty Julia Roller describes both the difficulties and surprising growth that can be found in the many beauties and struggles of motherhood. And rather than a prescription of more tasks to put on your spiritual to-do list, Mom Seeks God depicts the spiritual disciplines as freeing… Read more “Kelli B. Trujillo”
