Book Description

March 1, 2011

A calm moment is a rare find in a mom’s chaotic day. But she needs it. She needs the moment to refocus and refresh her soul. She needs the inspiration to find God in the mess and the mundane that often defines her. She craves the solitude of a moment with the Master to quiet the storms. She needs to laugh and remember why she loves being a mom.
 
Don't Make Me Come Up There!  is filled with inspirational and hilarious true-life stories and reflections written by a very human mom. Moms will recognize themselves in the pages of this book written for real, everyday mothers who know what it’s like to catch vomit with one hand while starting a load of laundry with the other (and never confusing the two!). The fifty-two reflections encourage moms to revel in the everyday beauty of their lives and grow closer to God through it all.

"I couldn’t help thinking of the last time my children had scattered up the stairs and disappeared into a quiet abyss. Initially, I thought they were just delighting in one another’s company, holding hands, and making paper daisies. But that thought lasted for 1.2 seconds before I snapped out of my delusion only to discover my oldest giving her brother a “haircut” and my youngest smearing soap all over the bathroom. . . " from the book

5.0 out of 5 stars Laugh, Kneel, Love... March 8, 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Don't Make Me Come Up There"-- makes me cheer! And it makes me get down on my knees and thank Jesus for this vocation of mothering. Because this book's take on motherhood is with a fresh honesty, a deep humility, and always has Christ firmly at the center of it.

Each chapter can be read easily in one sitting (or standing at the stove, stirring soup :) by a mama of many. I've been picking it up right in the middle of it all -- and it's guaranteed to bring a smile of recognition ("I'm not alone!")... (or flat out laugh.) And it's guaranteed to encourage and turn a chaotic day to Him who really matters.

This book is making me laugh and it's making me kneel and it's making me love.
I can think of no higher compliment of a book for a mama down in the trenches --- or at the bottom of the stairs :)

It didn't have any blurb on the UK site so I didn't realise it until the end of the first chapter. This book is more like a daily blog or diary entry. With each chapter being around one and a half kindle pages with a prayer and an amen at the end of each chapter. The anecdotes are really funny and applicable to most moms, however the prayers on every second page were a bit much. To be fair this may be a good example of a christian book and I don't know much that genre. It might have been more interesting to a wider public if the author had written more amusing tales of her children and perhaps just prayed at the end of the last chapter.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best pep talk for Mom's with little boys October 29, 2012
By blyn05
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This product has helped me so much with my boys. I have a two year old and a 4 month old and there are so many times when I feel like I am failing as a mother. This book is perfect because it only takes a few minutes to read, cause we all know Mom's dont have an hour to read their devotional, and it gives me so much encouragement. I highly recommend this book for all mothers (especially of little boys!).
