Abbey's new book is a refreshing reminder that parenting isn't powered by our perfection but by God's presence, offering freedom, hope, and the assurance that he's at work in our kids' lives, even when we fall short. A wise and theologically grounded guide for weary, overwhelmed moms. Who doesn't need that? * Megan Michelson, director, Birds & Bees * Abbey's writing is the kind you don't just read--you feel it. Her words are raw and unpretentious, tender yet weighty. And they reach straight into the hidden places of a mother's heart. There's something deeply therapeutic about the way she speaks truth, always wrapped in the language of the gospel. Abbey's vulnerability, honesty, and steadiness shine through every page. This book doesn't shout. It simply tells the truth with courage and clarity, inviting moms to stop hiding and meet grace right where they are. Readers won't walk away the same; they'll walk away lighter, steadier, and more rooted in hope. * Rebekah Hannah, children's ministry director, Redeemer LSQ in NYC; CEO, Anchored Virtual; author, The Secret to Confidence * For anyone who's ever felt they aren't the mom they thought they would be, Abbey's words are a healing balm to the disappointed soul. She's given us a rare gift: a book filled with hope that also meets us in our humanity. * Kate Strickler, founder, Naptime Kitchen; author, I Just Wish I Had a Bigger Kitchen * For those of you who know Abbey and her heart for Jesus and motherhood, it will come as no surprise that in her newest book she offers moms the kind of genuine hope everyone is desperate to hear. She does this like a loving friend, full of sincerity and personal compassion. Her words are deeply practical and deeply theological as she points us to Jesus. This book is exactly what every mom needs to hear right now. * Adam Griffin, lead pastor, Eastside Community Church, Dallas, Texas; host, The Family Discipleship Podcast; author * I so wish I would have had this book when I was raising my young children. Abbey would have been a trusted friend and mentor to me, as I longed to be a gospel-rich mom to my daughters. My own kids are now grown, but I heartily commend this book to moms still hard at work shaping the hearts of their kids, even as God shapes theirs. This book is full of both grace and truth, real-life stories and biblical principles, ideas for application and an invitation to rest. It truly is a handbook and companion for every mom who wants to give and receive the gospel in her own heart and home. * Jen Oshman, author; speaker; women's ministry director * In Help! I'm Ruining My Kids, Abbey's writing is raw, honest, relatable, and deeply encouraging. Moms carrying hidden guilt and shame will feel seen and understood, and her unique blend of gospel principles, theology, and science-backed strategies offers both truth and practical tools. Moms in need of a breakthrough will come away with lightbulb moments, a plan to break reactive patterns, and hope for moving forward in both motherhood and personal holiness. * Emily A. Jensen, coauthor of Risen Motherhood and Gospel Mom * In a world overflowing with parenting tips, hacks, and how-tos, Help! I'm Ruining My Kids is an anthem of grace-filled dependence on God. Abbey's warm and authentic writing makes you feel like you are sitting at a coffee shop with another in-process mom, gleaning wisdom rooted in God's Word. If you're a mom discouraged because motherhood hasn't looked the way you hoped, this book will meet you right where you are and remind you that the gospel truly transforms not only how we parent but also how we live as beloved children of God. * Gretchen Saffles, bestselling author, The Well-Watered Woman * This gospel guide confronts 'mom guilt' head-on! Abbey takes raw moments of motherhood and pulls them through the sieve of the gospel and its application. Her writing is filled with truth and tact, and it thrusts moms into the arms of the God we can trust to transform us. You will be left filled with hope, not only in how you see your role as a mom but also in how you see your role as a daughter of God. * Blair Linne, author, Made to Tremble and Yara the Brave and The Swirling Worry *
