Books are an amazing addition to this holiday season. We are still in the midst of a pandemic, the weather is getting cooler in some areas, masks are still required at Target, and some indoor dining still feels awkward. What can we moms do during the cold bleak days of Fall and Winter?

Read books! Read books, buy books, gift books, share books.

The amazing group of authors who wrote this book isn’t afraid to tackle very serious and sometimes controversial topics relevant to the world today.

Grace Looks Amazing on You: 100 Days of Reflecting God’s Love

Daily devotional books are so important to have and to have them where you can find them. Keep a daily devotional like this one close to your favorite reading spot, right where you need it when you can sneak away for 5 minutes to read.

Grace, Not Perfection: Embracing Simplicity, Celebrating Joy

By Emily Ley

Practical mom hacks are so important, and books like this one are a great companion to your Bible study. Emily reminds us to include grace for ourselves and the people we come into contact within our lives. The idea of striving for grace over perfection frees us moms up for WAY more important things than mom guilt.

Seven Days to Peace: A Prayer Challenge

by Sarah E. Frazer 

Prayer can be a misunderstood and easily forgotten topic, but this book encourages moms to work in their prayer life in realistic and life-changing ways. Sarah takes you through 10 minutes a day of praying about a scripture passage. This book for Christian moms is a workbook and includes reflection questions and prayer writing exercises….and momma, don’t we all need more of that stuff?!

Fear Less: 30 Devotions for Courageous Faith

By Sarah Borgstede

One of the reasons I enjoy suggesting Christian books for moms is because these books help with the real, raw, and ridiculous stuff we moms encounter. This book addresses readers with anxiety, panic, and stress, and points them to Jesus and His comfort and Truth. One month of seven-minute devotions brings you Biblical truths, practical strategies, and oh, so much love.

Vantage Point: A New View of Rest, Rhythm, and the Work of God

By Brenda Jank

One of my favorite phrases right now is “Stop the glorification of Busy”. I read it all over social media, and my recent planner sticker pack includes brightly colored graphics bearing this powerful phrase. It’s so hard, though! Brenda respects the reader’s time like no author I’ve come across and packs vital teachings into short and concise chapters. Vantage Point points us to Jesus, His Truth, and His Will for us in the area of rest. 

Take care of a chunk of your Christmas gift list with these Christian books for moms. Order a book for your own mom, and thank her for her wisdom and love. Get a book for everyone in your mom-tribe and sign the inside of the cover with a personal note. Include a book in your church’s Christmas gift exchange for your women’s ministry. Surprise a mom at your church with a book, just because she needs to know she is loved.

While you’re at it, order a few books for yourself to equip and encourage you in this season of motherhood.
