Book Synopsis



Mama, Your Work Has Deep Worth

Do you ever wonder if your efforts as a mom make any difference?

Take heart. Whether you're struggling through sleepless nights with your toddler or endless battles with your teen, September McCarthy's story offers practical insights and powerful inspiration to encourage you on your own mothering journey.

As a mom for 25 years who continues to raise young children and love her young adults, September imparts words of wisdom and grace in key areas of Christian parenting, including...

  • faith--getting honest with your family about your need for Jesus
  • wellness--learning to take care of your kids...and yourself
  • education--raising a new generation with creativity and character
  • relationships--speaking to the heart of your children in unique ways

In these pages you'll find sweet anecdotes and gentle guidance for those moments you need both a breather and a lifeline. Motherhood is an incredible labor of love--and in the scope of eternity, it matters more than you know.



Review Quotes




"As moms, we need other women--to sit with us, encourage us, and remind us that what we do today matters because it shapes the world tomorrow. Even before I met September in person, I was deeply touched by her tender, mothering heart when she reached out and spoke words that gave life. Over these years that I have grown to call her my friend, I can say that I wholly trust her hard-fought wisdom and experience in parenting and in life. She is a treasure among women. and if you don't believe me, then know that the very children she has mothered in her home rise up and call her blessed as well. If that isn't a hearty endorsement, then I'm not sure what is!"
--Logan Wolfram, speaker, author of Curious Faith



"For years I've wished I could live next door to September McCarthy. She is the mother we all want to grow up to be and this book is the next best thing to sitting at her kitchen table. For every mom who's wanted a mentor, a big mama sister, and a practical guide all rolled into one, get ready to be fed. Here comes the mother lode of guilt-free advice from the mother to moms everywhere."
--Lisa-Jo Baker, bestselling author of Never Unfriended and Surprised by Motherhood



"I wish I'd had this book my first ten years of parenting. It's a game changer for new moms! This book points to gospel-based parenting with practical and encouraging steps for even seasoned moms to take."
--Kristen Welch, author of Raising Grateful Kids in an Entitled World



"In recent years, there has been a resurgence among Christians about the subject of 'calling'-- specifically, the integration of faith and work. Strikingly absent from these books, conferences, and conversations is the unique calling and vocation of motherhood. Enter September McCarthy, who is both writer and practitioner on this essential, image-of-God-bearing art. In the pages that follow, September does a magnificent job helping us reclaim motherhood as no ordinary calling, but a supreme one. Combining practical wisdom and the application of God's grace, she has provided women and men alike with a must-read."
--Scott Sauls, senior pastor of Christ Presbyterian Church in Nashville, author of Befriend and Jesus Outside the Lines



"It's rare to read a book on mothering that not only causes tears to stream down your face but fills you with gratitude and a profound sense of reverence for the gift and calling of motherhood. September has known real loss, real love, and ultimately real and authentic life deep in the trenches of raising ten children. September is my mom-hero! Her fantastic new book, Why Motherhood Matters, is chock-full of practical wisdom, heart-wrenching stories, deep love for God and her family, and practical applications to real life situations every mother will value. You'll feel like you're sitting at her kitchen table letting her words of grace advise, fill, and encourage you no matter where you are in your mothering journey. Let September's words and wisdom help you navigate motherhood with purpose and grace."
--Kate Battistelli, author of Growing Great Kids, mother of Grammy Award winning artist Francesca Battistelli



"September McCarthy has the heart of a mama, the words of an encourager, and the wisdom of a friend who truly understands the journey. I believe all women are mothers in some way and no matter which season of motherhood you're in, Why Motherhood Matters is an affirmation and celebration of one of the most beautiful, powerful roles we have as women."
--Holley Gerth, bestselling author of Coffee for Your Heart and You're Already Amazing



"September's beautiful words about the journey of motherhood will touch deep places in your heart, provide sympathy for the struggles you have felt, and offer joy and vision to the role that is so profoundly important. You will find in her own personal stories a friend who walks the journey of motherhood by your side."
--Sally Clarkson, author of The Lifegiving Home and Different



"The labor of motherhood never ends and sometimes it's hard to remember how to breathe. These pages are like a breathing coach. And each page is a delivery--into more and more of the grace and heart of your Father. Motherhood matters--because what matters like sculpting souls with your Father?"
--Ann Voskamp, mama to 7, New York Times bestselling author of The Broken Way and One Thousand Gifts
