Soon after Jessica Kastner became a mother, she wondered if she was the only mom who found pretend play more boring than watching playdough harden and who dreaded yet another friend’s Instagram post of homemade deliciousness.
 
In Hiding from My Kids in the Prayer Closet, Kastner shares her experience as an “unmom”—a mom who loves her kids more than she loves the daily experience of mothering. She helps readers laugh at the ridiculous, delight in the unpredictable, and enjoy being the mothers God made them to be.

Hiding from the Kids in My Prayer Closet, Jessica Kastner’s book about finding grace in motherhood imperfection, gives readers permission to live in the moment. The book embodies the famous quote ‘Comparison is the thief of joy.’ Instead of focusing on failure, Kastner wants moms to transfer that energy into finding happiness in their own messy, imperfect ways. Even though she might lose track of the school calendar or make dinner from a box, she can still enjoy jumping on the trampoline with her boys or having worship dance parties. Kastner’s tales of imperfect, faith-based motherhood will resonate with moms who feel they don’t always succeed at ‘mothering’ but love the path God has put them on anyway.”
