Most moms with young children struggle to find a little peace and quiet for themselves in the midst of their hectic days, and setting aside time to spend with God can be even harder. They need devotions that fit their busy schedules and meet them where they are. Lorilee Craker's short readings are just right for these moms. She lends her engaging writing style to personal stories that moms will find encouraging, often funny, and oh-so-familiar. Each reflection is related to a biblical truth and bookended by a verse at the beginning and at the end. Just Give Me a Little Piece of Quiet invites moms to retreat from the day's pressures and be refreshed for tomorrow's possibilities.
Retreat from the day's pressures and be refreshed for
tomorrow's possibilities
Do you struggle to find a little peace for yourself in
the midst of your hectic days? You'd like to step off the mommy
treadmill for a little while, and set aside some time for yourself
and for God.
Just Give Me a Little Piece of Quiet is your daily getaway.
Bookended by Scripture, Lorilee's stories and tips for moms in the

Mom."
These short devotions help you laugh at life's most embarrassing
moments, remember treasured memories, and put things back into
perspective. And when patience is running thin, Lorilee reminds you
why you were so excited to have those little ankle-biters in the
first place. It's just what you need to survive those crazy
days!
