Created to Care: God's Truth for Anxious Moms

“Sara Wallace hands anxious mothers a heaping helping of grace that is seasoned with practical advice and one clear message: peace. Peace to a worn-out mother’s heart—the kind of peace that can come only from Jesus himself. In fact, she shows us over and over again how our reliance on Christ doesn’t mean that we try harder or work better but that we rest in his power to equip us for the job of motherhood. All mothers should read Sara’s excellent book. Each of us needs this kind reminder to trust the Lord in this high calling that we are utterly ill-equipped to handle without his presence and help.”

Through personal stories, insightful reflections, and the truth of God’s Word, she points readers to the truth of who God is and what he has done, helping anxious moms to find peace in their sovereign God.”
