How Moms Like You Discovered Joy in the Hardest Places

Motherhood is beautiful, but it’s also exhausting—and many Christian moms find themselves running on fumes, wondering if anyone truly understands. Mothering on Empty is a soul-soothing collection of encouragement from moms who’ve been there. A mix of devotional, memoir, and heart-to-heart honesty, this book weaves together stories from moms like you who have experienced frustration, exhaustion, and even despair—yet discovered the deep joy God offers in the midst of it all.

Each of the forty entries is a lovingly-crafted patch in a quilt of hope, written by mothers from different walks of life. These are not parenting experts—they’re fellow travelers, sharing the comfort and wisdom they’ve found along the way.

Why this Book will Inspire Your Mothering:

• Real stories from Christian moms who’ve faced burnout, disappointment, and daily challenges
• Devotional-style reflections grounded in Scripture to refocus the heart on truth and grace
• “Joy Thief” and “Fight Back” sections that name what’s stealing your joy—and show you how to reclaim it
• Inspiring quotes and takeaways to uplift moms in every season of parenting

Ideal for personal encouragement, small group study, and a gift for a new or young mom, Mothering on Empty is the companion every mom needs to remind her that joy is still possible and she lives out her sacred calling.
