About this audiobook
Mama of ten Abbie Halberstadt helps women humbly and gracefully rise to the high calling of motherhood without settling for mediocrity or losing their minds in the process.
Motherhood is a challenge. Unfortunately, our worldly culture offers moms little in the way of real help. Mamas only connect to celebrate surviving another day and to share in their misery rather than rejoice in what God has done and to build each other up in hard times. There has a be a better way, a biblical way, for mamas to grow and thrive.
As a daughter of Christ, you have been called to be more than an average mama. Attaining excellence doesn't have to be unsettling but it will take committed focus and a desire to parent well according to God's grace and for His glory.
M is for Mama offers advice, encouragement, and scripturally sound strategies seasoned with a little bit of humor to help you embrace the challenge of biblical motherhood and raise your children with love and wisdom.
Mama, you are worthy of the awesome responsibility God has given you. Now it's time to start believing you can live up to it.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book was tough to swallow, but not because it isn’t true. This book speaks many truths that are sometimes easy to forget or turn away from. I needed the self reflection that this book gave me and only wish that I had read it sooner. For moms who are wanting to focus on biblical motherhood, this is an excellent book.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I have followed Abbie on and off for a very long time. I say “on and off” because in seasons of feeling overwhelmed, her seemingly perfect life felt too much. As I’ve matured as a mom, and quite possibly her maturing as well, she seems like a more relatable woman, and I adore her! This book is absolutely golden. She says exactly what I would want to say if I were to writing a book! Definitely in my top 3 parenting books EVER!

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Abbie’s words are all at once edifying, challenging, truthful and gracefilled. I love her scripture filled encouragement and straight forward book!
