He Gives More Grace: 30 Hope-Filled Reflections for the Ups and Downs of Motherhood
Motherhood is one of life's most joyful yet most difficult gifts. We are eager to get it "right", yet parenting usually highlights our weaknesses and leaves us worried about our mistakes.
These hope-filled, positive devotions recognize the realities and pressures, joys and disappointments of motherhood and will give you a precious reminder of grace from God's word to hold onto each day. They will help you to trust that God's grace is enough for you and your kids. As the authors say in the introduction, "Our children do not need a perfect mother. What they do need is a mother who recognizes her need for a perfect Savior and understands that this is the greatest need of her children as well."
As you focus on the work of Jesus rather than your own efforts, you will feel less pressure and more freedom and joy in all the ups and downs of motherhood.
Written by a mother-daughter combination (one with four kids aged 10-16 and one with three grown kids and ten grandchildren) who are both grateful recipients of God's grace and faithfulness in the many seasons, situations and realities of motherhood.

Endorsements (${ productEndorsements.length })
“This is not a how-to manual or a book full of pithy advice. This is 30 days of sweet truth drawn from the deep well of Scripture. Sarah and Linda repeatedly offer the water of life for the thirsty mom’s soul. I found myself reading and rereading entries because of the robust grace they contain. This devotion will be a friend and a mentor to every mom who draws near.”
Jen Oshman
Author, Enough About Me
“Finding a good devotional book is harder than you think, and finding a thoughtful, hope-filled devotional for moms is even harder. That’s why we are happy to commend these reflections. The writing is accessible, the stories are honest, and the gospel encouragement can be felt on every page. What a needed reminder for moms (and all of us) that God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”

“I wish I had had this devotional when my children were little! This will be a wonderful companion for every mom who has ever felt exasperated or exhausted in parenting and is looking for wisdom and encouragement—which truly is all of us. Sarah and Linda beautifully show us that God uses trials and weaknesses to mold us and our children, inspiring us to trust in God’s endless grace.”

Author, The Scars That Have Shaped Me: How God Meets Us in Suffering
“He Gives More Grace is for every mom living in the daily delights and challenges of motherhood. This book is not a formula for parenting but a respite of joy, written from voices of experience. Sarah and her mom, Linda, know what it is to cling to God’s grace—and they will show you how to do the same. If you wish you could have two wise and experienced friends come alongside you and lift your eyes to see more of the grace of God for you and for your children, this book is for you.”

“Linda’s time-tested wisdom and Sarah’s trial-tried perspective make reading this devotional feel like sitting down with trusted mentors. They somehow not only know exactly what you need to hear but deliver it in a way that is astonishingly relatable, easily digestible, practically applicable, and miraculously memorable (even for the overcrowded brain of this mom of little kids). It’s not often that what feels like an easy read turns out to be a life-altering one, but that’s what you’ll find in this book: profound truths presented in a way that will make an immediate and beautiful impact on your motherhood journey.”
Abbey Wedgeworth
Author, Held
“At the heart of this book is a prayer and a poem. Need I say more The short, simple chapters ooze grace and wisdom while being gritty and real about the complexities of parenting. I particularly appreciated the inclusion of discussing chronic illness and children with additional needs, and the value the authors placed on diversity of parenting styles and temperaments”
Linda Allcock
Author, Deeper Still
“I loved this! Honest stories, practical help and big grace for real mums, from real mums. This book is like a chat and a cup of coffee with a loving friend. It’s warm, honest, practical and filled with real life stories that set us free from the burden of trying to be supermum by continually pointing us to God’s generous grace.”
