Jesus Doesn't Care About Your Messy House: He Cares About Your Heart

Read by the author.

The phrase “cleanliness is next to godliness” isn’t found in the Bible. Your house can never be good enough to please God—not because you can’t scrub it or declutter hard enough, but because that is never what He was looking for in the first place. Join Dana K. White, author of Decluttering at the Speed of Life, as she works through removing the shame associated with having a messy home and reveling in the grace and love of our Savior.

This book is for you, if no matter how competent you feel in other parts of your life, you still feel overwhelmed and defeated by your messy home. While it’s true that keeping a clean and organized living space can contribute to a sense of peace and well-being, it should never be equated with your worth, moral standing, or what Jesus thinks about you. 

Dana K. White, trusted by millions for her no-holds-barred cleaning confessions and practical decluttering method wants to:

• remove any shame or identity crisis associated with disorganization
• help you understand God's love and purposeful design for you that is much bigger than any mess in your house.

 

Sharing relatable stories, biblical teaching, and practical life application, Dana will help you find a sense of freedom, acceptance, and a deeper understanding of God's love and purpose for you and your house.

Reviews for Jesus Doesn't Care About Your Messy House

[Janna Redman · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This book was such a blessing to me. I have only fallen more in love with Jesus by reading this book.

[fcplcataloger · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

The title of this book captured my attention immediately. Believe me, it isn't fun to feel guilty about a messy house! My Mom was the ultimate housewife, and I learned early that I couldn't measure up to her standards. After reading this book, I was reminded that the messiness of my house isn't what God sees in me. He sees my thoughts, my actions, and the condition of my heart so any guilt I feel should be associated with these things. These are the things I need to work on!

Author Dana K. White doesn't condone laziness, and she doesn't promote perfection. There are tips to help us declutter, encouragement to keep us going, and inspiration from God's Word. We are reminded that God's Grace has nothing to do with an immaculate house or a clean heart: it is a gift freely given that can never be earned.

This is a well-written book laced with humor and heartfelt advice. I recommend "Jesus Doesn't Care About Your Messy House: He Cares About Your Heart"!
