What Readers Are Saying

The books find the people who need them most. Here's what some of them have said.

“

This book made me feel seen in a way I didn't expect. Shaun writes like he knows exactly what your Tuesday at 2am looks like — because he's been there. Required reading for any parent who has ever felt overwhelmed and still faithful.

Every parent who has ever felt overwhelmed and under-qualified needs to read this. Honest, funny, and genuinely hopeful. Shaun doesn't pretend faith makes it easy — he shows how faith makes it possible.

I laughed out loud, then cried two pages later. That's a rare gift in a book. Shaun writes about parenting the way it actually is — not the way we wish it was. I've already bought copies for three people.
