Grace for the Moment for Moms

by Max Lucado

Whooops! I let the publication date of this book slip by me, and I could no longer access it as an ARC (Advance Reader Copy). I do so love the encouragement and insights that Lucado offers in his books. Therefore, I obtained an audio copy from my library. Audio is not my favorite way of enjoying books, but this one was clear and easy to follow. I listened to it without pauses on my daily dog walks and even while I was staining my deck. In fact, I listened to it two times before I returned it. I was surprised that it is not read by Max Lucado, but about 15 minutes in, I found that Ben Holland has a great voice for this book. Grace for the Moment for Moms  is intended for moms. Even though I have had an empty nest for a long time, I still enjoyed and was inspired by the contents of each of the 50 devotionals. They are brief, but powerful, and continually reaffirm God’s love. A busy mom could find the time to slip one of these devotionals into her day.

I pictured in my mind how the book might be designed (white space, organization, etc.). I looked at a sample online and it was put together as I had imagined except lovelier. It contains a little message which is clearly written by Lucado, a sentence of inspiration and affirmation, and Scriptures that perfectly match with the teaching.

I recommend either the audio book or the hardback version. The latter would make a great gift for a special mom you know. Or buy a copy for yourself—you’ll be glad you did.

Memorable Lines:

The next time a sunrise steals your breath or a meadow of flowers leaves you speechless, remain that way. Say nothing and listen as heaven whispers, “Do you like it? I did it just for you.”

“My grace is enough for you. When you are weak, my power is made perfect in you.”  II Corinthians 12:9
