Review Quotes

"I've never met Emily, but she is now my mom-friend. She gets me. She knows the beautiful, messy chaos of raising children and, even better, she knows how to encourage my weary heart. You will consider her a friend too after reading her sweet book. She will make you laugh and think hard about why God has called you to major in motherhood. Best of all, she will point you to Jesus."

- Kristen Wetherell, mom of three and author of Humble Moms and the For the Bible Tells Me So board book series

"Here is a joy-filled book that helps you to laugh at some of the truly trying days of motherhood with young children. Emily reminds us not only of the difficult task we undertake as moms but also of the deep significance and meaning of what is often seen as mundane and unimportant by our surrounding culture. We need to be reminded of the holy calling of motherhood and how God works in and through us as we serve our children. If you need encouragement as a mom of little ones, get this book and let Emily guide you into deeper thinking on our role as mothers."

"Emily Schuch is the professor of parenthood you've been waiting for. In her masterclass on being a mom she shares a window into her own motherhood journey, the good and the bad, as she gives readers a crash course on leading a household and more importantly, how it teaches us the gospel of Jesus Christ. Her book is as witty as it is helpful and it'll bless any mom who picks it up."

"Majoring in Motherhood will have you laughing and crying in the same chapter, as Emily relates her motherhood experiences. Every mom can relate to her stories of motherhood, and will be encouraged by the Truth she shares. Motherhood can be one of the loneliest, hardest jobs in the world, but Emily reminds you that you are doing a holy, God-honoring work. This is a great read for moms of any season, but I can't wait to give it to new, expectant moms to read during those middle of the night feedings when moments of encouragement and laughter are hard to find."

- Jenny Worsham, Co-founder of Gather Moms

"Emily did an excellent job of communicating the hilarious, hard, beautiful, sanctifying, and relatable facets of motherhood while continually pointing back to the gospel. The reminders of God's sovereignty, faithfulness, sustenance, and grace are both convicting and encouraging in ways that pushed me toward Christlikeness in motherhood. This book ministered to me in more ways than I can count!

- Kristen Young, Social Influencer and Mom of 5

"Majoring in Motherhood is an invitation to belonging for all mothers, reminding us we are not alone. With relatable humor and treasures of biblical truths, Emily Schuch offers profound encouragement, inspiring mothers to live like Jesus. These parable-esque stories will strengthen those who are in the middle of the Hardest, Messiest, Most Glorious Job in the World."

- Heather Jonsson, Bible Teacher, Host of the Bold Mercies Podcast

"Spunky, hilarious, and oh-so-real. Schuch had me laughing 'til I cried. With wisdom and wit, she created the world's first degree taught in a way that makes you feel like you're having coffee with a friend. That's my kind of major! Now, I finally know what I want to be when I grow up: a mom doing life alongside Jesus and ladies like Emily Schuch."
