The End of Me: Finding Resurrection Life in the Daily Sacrifices of Motherhood

“This book is for moms who aren't who they thought they'd be and finally see that they can't just get their act together. Liz understands the heart of the struggling mom, but she also understands where true hope is found. The End of Me points moms to the gospel of Jesus Christ, where grace is received, identity is restored, and true obedience begins. ”

“Two things ring true for most moms. One is that we often enter into motherhood with confident excitement and hopeful expectations. The second is - reality always hits. Although motherhood is a blessing and a gift, sooner or later, challenges, stresses, and the unexpected begin to shake our confidence and bring us to the end of ourselves. And we wonder - am I the only one? For that reason, I’m thankful that Liz Wann has written “The End of Me” to every mom who feels they fall short of the mom that they desire to be. With a fresh and honest perspective Liz not only acknowledges the realities of motherhood, she shows us how the weakness and insecurities we face may be the very things that lead us to a strength beyond ourselves - a strength that comes only through Jesus. ”

“We all learn by experience that life’s most rewarding things are often also life’s most difficult things. Parenting is certainly no exception, and part of what makes it so tough is the sense of failure that so often accompanies it. If you’re a parent, and specifically a mother, who is aware of your failings, aware of your shortcomings, aware that you aren’t exactly the mother you thought you’d be, then this book is for you. Its promise is not that it will make mothering easy, but that it will point you to the hope and confidence God offers you through the gospel of Jesus Christ. ”

“A breath of fresh air, The End of Me gives a realistic, Christ-centered view of motherhood, with all of its ups and downs. I am confident that Liz’s honesty about her own struggles will help women not just survive, but grow closer to Christ through the joyful privilege of parenting a child. ”

“Motherhood is the hardest job I’ve ever had. It’s revealed the depths of my sin, my profound weakness, and my great need for Christ. That’s why I was so encouraged by Liz Wann’s book, The End of Me. This book is gospel-centered encouragement for all moms who struggle with the hard days of motherhood. Liz directs our eyes to see how Christ is formed in us as we die to ourselves and rise to life in him. ”

“We all enter motherhood with idealistic hopes and dreams. But the reality of sleepless nights, sick children and temper tantrums can lead us to despair. Liz Wann’s honest look at motherhood will encourage you to find resurrection hope and joy through the very trials that bring us to the end of ourselves. ”

“This book is a countercultural invitation to embrace motherhood in Christ’s way! Join Liz as she opens her heart and the Bible to a journey to take up our cross every day to follow Jesus. Spoiler alert: the destination is everlasting life! ”
