Description
Christ in the Chaos is the first book by author Kimm Crandall and it has been one of the most formative books in my motherhood journey. Kimm helps mothers understand how the gospel changes the way we respond to the chaos of raising little ones. Over and over again, Kimm encourages her readers with the beauty of Christ as she repeats the gospel message. I really appreciated Kimm’s humility in sharing her own motherhood moments that were marked by sin and how God used those moments to make her more like Christ. One of the aspects of this book that really encouraged me in my mothering was the continued reminder of Christ’s righteousness. Regarding this Kimm wrote, “By his own sacrifice, Jesus has already pleased his Father completely on your behalf. This beautiful truth can bring you endless freedom. It may seem hard to believe – your reasonable self may want to reject it as an insane act of grace. Indeed, God’s Grace is too outrageous, too impossible to comprehend, but that’s exactly how we know it completely destroys our ‘try harder’ and ‘do better’ law. God’s Grace leaves us with nothing of ourselves but all of Jesus,” (pg. 32). Read more of my review here.
