Mom Set Free: Find Relief from the Pressure to Get It All Right (A Christian Parenting Guide)

As a mom of, soon to be 6 kids, I find myself struggling with meeting each of my children's needs at all the different stages of life they are in. I want to be perfect in meeting their needs and find myself worrying about how to be a better mom inorder to make them into perfect adults. While Reading Jeannie's first book, Parenting the Wholehearted Child, the Lord opened my eyes to see where I was using His Word to make rules for the kids, but not showing them God's love and grace and forgiveness! Now, after reading Mom Set Free, Jeannie has imparted wisdom that inorder for my kids to understand this, they need to see me living in God's grace! God gave us these children, not to be perfect parents, but to grow closer to Him, trusting Him to fill in the many voids we have!! The comfort in teaching them that my husband and I will let them down sometimes, but Jesus never will takes so much pressure off knowing God loves my kids so much more than I can imagine! These are just a couple truths Jeannie shares in her new book! This is a wonderful book for parents at any stage, with 1 child or many!! Even grandparents would benefit from it greatly...encouraging them to extend grace to their adult children while they are in the trenches of parenting! Fantastic book, a must have for the parenting section on your bookshelf!

It's amazing that I've known the Gospel for so long, intellectually, but not at a heart level. I've been working for God's love and approval, almost without even knowing it, instead of from His love. This book has been breaking chains for me since the moment I started reading it. It is WAY more than a parenting book. I'd recommend it to every woman--even if you are not a mom. The Holy Spirit is clearly using Mrs. Cunnion to free women, and I am one. It's opening my eyes, changing my heart, and breaking strongholds. The pressure of seeming joyous enough, good enough, wise enough, or perfect enough because of fear for others' salvation (not just my kids') is waning. I know now ON A HEART LEVEL that it is the good Lord's job to call, woo, author and perfect our faith. Jesus has used Mrs. Cunnion and this book to change my life and to set me FREE!

Jeannie is not only a deep thinker, she's a terrific communicator that welcomes you into the truth about societal messaging - you know, the almost incessant pressures and stress to perform close to perfection - not only hitting our kids, but also parents. So there's that, but there's also the beautiful, gentle & winsome way she unpacks God's invitation to understand freedom from the pressures through Christ's grace. Though the concept of grace is hard to grasp, to embrace or even to buy - since it's almost too good to be true, and how does it work anyway - Jeannie dives into what it means to know the freedom for which we have been set free. Then she takes it a step further to ask, then answer: what does it look like to have that overflow into parenting? And since grace applies to more than just parenting, get ready - the message will inform so many other aspects of your life. Thanks Jeannie for taking the time and effort to put pen to paper.

Jeannie does a wonderful job reassuring Moms through God's word. This book is a great gift for any Mom - because all Moms want to be perfect, and none of us are. Stop beating yourself up and let Jeanine teach you how much God loves you and your children. and gather a group of friends!

As a young mom and as a someone who struggles with worry and fear of whether or not I am good enough, the truth in this book breathed new life into my soul. There is no shortage of parenting books out there but this one is different. Rather than feeling more stressed by all of the expectations and rules in a typical parenting book, I found hope and joy within the pages of this book. Jeannie offered the encouragement I needed to parent in the confidence of who God is rather than what I am not. She reminded me that it is not our job to BE God in our children's lives, but to point them TO God. And her writing gave me a hope-filled invitation to trust God with the precious child God has entrusted to me. This book will remain a staple on my nightstand and I look forward to reading its hope-filled truth again and again.

As a mom of older kids, I can attest to the fact that this book is equally applicable to parents of little ones as well as parents of teenagers and older. Jeannie writes so honestly and and courageously about her failed attempts to "get it all right" and her battles with trying to parent in perfection that I found myself thinking right away, "Me too!" But she doesn't leave us there. Jeannie shares God's truth that we have been set free to point our kids to Christ, knowing that His grace is sufficient. With college-aged kids, I found Jeannie's wisdom to be very applicable at this season in my parenting. After all...aren't we always a parent to our kids, no matter their age? And Jeannie's encouragement to trust God with the kids He has entrusted to us rings true at any phase of parenthood.

I purchased this workbook and later this book from Amazon to do this bible study with my sister. All opinions are my own. Mom Set Free by Jeannie Cunnion. 🌟🌟🌟🌟 While this workbook says you do not need the book to do the workbook, I felt myself more involved if I read the book then attempted the workbook. They work hand in hand for me. I enjoyed this study how to be strong in your faith while being a mom. Sometimes the pressure we apply to ourselves "to get it all right" is overwhelming. This book gives quick references to the Bible in these moments and will help ground you and your thoughts in your Faith.

After a tough night of parenting where I found myself dissecting all that my husband and I could have done differently, I anxiously woke up at 5 a.m. and got back to reading this book. Jeannie Cunnion does a beautiful job of reminding us (me!) that, while parenting is a huge job, we are not the master potters of our children's hearts. Through scripture combined with wisdom and lots of humble confession, she sets out to set us free. If you're a mom struggling to get it right, please pick up this book. You will not regret it! You might even give up the struggle and trade it in for some trust and peace and a deeper walk with God.
