The next time I put together a gift basket for a new mom, I’m including a copy of Motherhood Is Not Your Highest Calling. As an empty nester with grown children who are now parents themselves, Vicki brings wise, needed, and loving perspective to the gifts and challenges of motherhood (which, unfortunately, can sometimes feel like an all-consuming competitive sport). Vicki lovingly and graciously questions some of the messages we’ve internalized about what a mother’s life “should” look like, and as she does that, she encourages women to lay down unrealistic expectations and parent from a place of grace and freedom. What a relief to remember that an abundant life has lots of different parts
Motherhood Is Not Your Highest Calling: The Grace of Being a Good-Enough Mom will help set you free from the unrealistic standards placed on mothers. Vicki not only unpacks the lies we believe (which cause endless guilt, shame, and condemnation) but offers a way forward leading to the abundant life Jesus has for every mother. Do yourself a favor and read this if you’re even contemplating having children one day.
This book is a lifeline for every mom drowning in guilt, comparison, or busyness. You don’t have to be everything. You just have to belong to the one who is.
My only issue with this book is that I didn’t have it eighteen years ago as a new mom. No matter your season of motherhood, we all need the freedom to put motherhood in its proper place to free our hearts from an unattainable pursuit. Another must-read by Vicki!
This book felt like a deep breath I didn’t know I was holding. With humility and hard-won wisdom, Vicki Courtney speaks straight to the ache of moms who’ve been told their worth is tied to how well they parent. She dismantles the myth of motherhood as our highest calling and points us back to the gentle, grace-filled way of Jesus. Motherhood Is Not Your Highest Calling is the kind of truth telling that sets women free.
