Synopsis from Amazon.com: Work-at-home moms bear a unique set of
burdens as they attempt to blend job and family commitments under one roof.
Maintaining professionalism while wiping noses and convincing outsiders that
flexibility isn’t all it’s cracked up to be can put even the most organized to
the test. Amid all the other duties of life, the work-at-home mom often
discovers that feeding her soul is the biggest challenge of them all.
Work-at-home mom: take a deep breath and Do
Life Different as you allow these devotions for work-at-home moms to fill
the vacuum of your needy heart in the chaos of your busy world.
I don't quite fit the paradigm for
this book, being neither a mom nor a wife, nor someone who has, in the past,
reviewed non-fiction. I'm also terrible about finishing short daily
devotionals, much less answering questions at the end. However, I do work at home, so I thought to offer my
own perspective for those of us who might be in similar but not identical
circumstances.
My strategy was to read about five
entries a day before work and during lulls. Before reading, I worried a little that this
devotional would be too specifically-directed at moms and wives, but this
proved a groundless concern. Rather, Ms.
Hart offered a Scripture passage, theme, anecdote, word of encouragement, and
insightful questions for fifty-two days. Only a few days in, I was already
thinking I'd like to read this devotional again, only much slower. I found this
devotional encouraging and insightful and look forward to a re-read.
