I decided I'm going to do a better job of sharing monthly book reviews this year. Maybe that way I won't be overwhelmed at the end of the year when I'm trying to compile my booklist. Here are the books I read this month and my thoughts about them. Risen Motherhood by Emily Jensen & Laura Wifler I read this book because PURSUE is my word for 2021 and this book is about pursuing Christ in motherhood.

We took a trip to the store and bought Continue Reading
