This book is for all the overwhelmed moms. That's all of us, right?Written by a mom, for other moms. It's especially for moms who are survivors of sexual abuse, domestic abuse, or trauma. Hannah Redden, author of Me and Jesus Covered in Pee, has just released a book on motherhood that offers a fresh voice to the often generic parenting books. This is not bland platitudes. This is real life and real motherhood, dealing with real trauma and real issues of faith. Motherhood is challenging enough, let alone when you're trying to work through your own baggage and learn how to heal from the trauma of childhood sexual abuse in your past. The daily challenges of trying to find a matching pair of socks or a clean pair of black leggings in the laundry that hasn't been folded for two weeks -- those pale in comparison to crying in therapy for months on end, trying to not self-medicate your anxiety and depression with alcohol, or breaking down on your bathroom floor overwhelmed with your body shutting down from PTSD.
If you're wanting to break the chains of generational abuse,
If you're wanting to raise healthy kids who will be free of trauma,
If you're wanting to hold onto your faith, and not give up on your family,
This book is for you.
Me and Jesus Covered in Pee is full of real life and real talk. You're not alone, momma.
Wisdom beyond her years with a relationship and faith in Jesus I can only HOPE to achieve!
Hannah is 14 year my junior with wisdom beyond MY years and a relationship with and faith in Jesus I can only HOPE to achieve! The strength and resilience she has shown and shares with us is amazing and courageous. I am inspired by the life she has lead and excited for all that I know is to come. Hannah's story is a practical reminder that life is hard, sometimes it seems beyond what we can bear, but it is also beautiful. And if we remember that we are NEVER alone, that Jesus fights through every tough moment and celebrates every beautiful moment with us, we will not only persevere through those tough moments, we will come through them better for it and the joy found in the beautiful moments will that much more precious and treasured. What it really come down to is this. If you truly have a relationship with Jesus, you truly have all you need.
"Jesus tells us in the book of John chapter 14 verse 33, “In this Godless world you will continue to experience difficulties. But take heart! I’ve conquered the world.”" This verse to me summarizes this book. Hannah shares how Jesus has been with her through it all, how she and her husband have stood up against crazy heavy opposition to create a life of freedom and love for their children. You go Mama! A busy mom myself, I could hardly put it down. It's a quick read and left me more determined than ever to stand up and fight for my children. Thank you Hannah for sharing your story.
This book is awesome! Hannah is so down to earth and so real! I think all mom's can relate to what she's writing here. This book is a small testimony of her real and raw meeting with Jesus through all "life's piss" as she so honestly states. It has blessed me immensely!
Hannah keeps it real in this humorous and beautiful testimonial. Thank you for sharing some of your story with the world. I think it makes readers feel a little less alone out there as they navigate their own crazy lives.
