A Higher Calling: Why M is for Mama by Abbie Halberstadt is the Parenting Book Every Christian Mama Needs

“M is for Mama” isn’t your average parenting book—it’s a powerful, grace-filled wake-up call to Christian mothers everywhere. Abbie Halberstadt doesn’t sugarcoat the realities of motherhood, but she also doesn’t settle for the low bar our culture sets for mamas today. Instead, she calls us higher—with Scripture, wisdom, and plenty of heart. This book reminded me that motherhood isn’t a burden—it’s a holy, refining, life-shaping calling. It’s not about perfection or comparison, but about faithfulness, sisterhood, and being present. If you’ve ever felt like the only one swimming against the current, this book will encourage you to keep going.”
