Calm in My Chaos: Encouragement for a Mom's Weary Soul

by Elisabeth Klein Corcoran

At times, a mother's life can be anything but inspiring—2 a.m. feedings, loneliness, no vacation days, sibling rivalries. Even the best intentions of raising God-fearing, obedient, happy kids can fall flat in the midst of chaos. Calm in My Chaos takes an honest look at a mother's world and offer practical advice on common experiences including being content in every circumstance, modeling God-like characteristics, overcoming cabin fever, and being the "real" you.

Quick and easy read. My kids are 5 & 6 and I felt like it was geared more for moms with younger kids than mine. I would have related more a few years ago. This book was fine, nothing super deep or profound. Some of these chapters were nothing more than just things her kids said or did, which doesn’t seem very “devotional” to me 🤷🏼‍♀️

A great read for moms with multiple children. Nice to know we all parent different but want the same values
