Elisabeth Elliot was a young missionary in Ecuador when members of a violent Amazonian tribe savagely speared her husband, Jim, and his four colleagues.

Christians know what Jesus Christ has done — but who is he? What is his deepest heart for his people, weary and faltering on their journey toward heaven? Jesus said he is "gentle and lowly in heart."

Fit to Burst is a book of parenting "field notes" written by a mom in the thick of it all. It is chock-full of humorous examples and fresh advice covering issues familiar to moms, such as guilt cycles, temptations to be ungrateful or bitter, enjoying your kids, and learning how to honor Jesus by giving even in the mundane stuff. But this book also addresses less familiar topics, including the impact moms have on the relationships between dads and kids, the importance of knowing when to laugh at kid-sized sin, and more.

Modern women - who use psychotherapeutic antidepressants at a rate never before seen in history - need liberating now more than ever. The truth is, feminists don't know what liberation is. They have led us into a very boring dead end. Once those fictionalized stereotypes are out of the way - whether they're things that make you gag or things you think look pretty fun - Christians can focus on real women. What did God make real women for?

Publisher's Summary
Women shaped the men who changed the world.
History tells of women whose love for the Bible shaped its earliest and most prominent teachers. It tells of women who were great theologians in their own right, yet whose only students were their own children. It tells, time and time again, of Christian men who owe so much to their godly mothers. Raising children to honor and glorify the Lord is the goal of every Christian mother, but how can you do that? Who can teach you?
One of the best ways to learn is to read or listen to examples of women who have succeeded at the very task you are attempting. Come and listen to some of them. We will hear the church’s earliest days to find a man who owed his salvation to the careful biblical instruction he received on the lap of his mother. We will zoom forward a few centuries to a woman whose constant prayers were at last rewarded when her son came to faith and went on to become one of history’s most influential theologians. We will advance to recent centuries to see how the prayers, teaching, and examples of godly mothers have shaped evangelists, preachers, and stalwart defenders of the faith. We will learn together of Christian men and their godly moms, mothers who were used to shape the men who changed the world.

What an encouraging must-read for all Christian mothers
This reads very well as an audio book and one you could listen to more than once.
This book has something for every kind of mother as the family stories are very diverse. From mothers who died when their children were young to mothers who became Christians when their children were adults.
God used really ordinary women of all personality types, backgrounds and circumstances to further his kingdom in extraordinary ways. Left me encouraged that I don’t have to do be any other type of mother than what Jesus has called me to be and also definitely an encouragement to know that some of the great Christian men in history were extremely challenging children for their parents! There is hope for all of us!
If you want to get an idea of what’s in the book, the biographies were originally part of a blog series on Tim’s website so you can Google his name and the name of one of the men in his book and it should come up. The blogs are identical to the chapters but they don’t have the reflection questions and ‘a mother’s reflection’ at the end of each chapter like the book does - which I always found very insightful and wise. But it does mean if there is a particular biography you want to share with a friend, you can send them the blog version.
My only reason for saying maybe don’t get it on Audible is it’s totally a book you will want to share with other mums and you won’t be able to do that! But if it’s going to be the only way you read it then definitely do.
