Out of the Spin Cycle

by Jen Hatmaker

Over the last few weeks while I have been spending minutes at a time reading a chapter or two in this fun loving little Devotional book I have been amused and in deep thought. Jen Hatmaker brings reality of motherhood to the page and lives out the humor in life and making situations fun too look back on, even if in the moment they are rough. Each chapter gives a realistic scenario and then a scripture verse and principle to apply to live a fuller Christian Life.

This is one of the better devotions that I have read in a while. It is not preachy, but so much more in the way that it's another mama telling it real. I would easily say this could be an advice book as well as devotional. It is a devotional in the sense that each chapter is giving you as a reader one more suggestion of a scripture to cleave to and bringing it all back to God first, family second. As an advice book, I'd say that is more so for first time mamas like myself, although I'm sure the experienced mothers will find a kindred spirit within the pages.

I highly recommend this book and I am so glad that I was blessed to read it.
