Through Personal Stories and Rich, Biblical Insights, Katie Faris Connects the Dots between Who God Is and Everyday Motherhood
From early mornings to sleepless nights and busy activity schedules in between, motherhood is difficult, sanctifying work. Confronted with the struggles and unknowns of raising children, women are reminded daily of their need for help, and from this awareness comes the heart cry of every mother: a longing to be known and loved through it all.
Having raised 5 children between the ages of 7 and 18, Katie Faris understands the challenges of parenting and the importance of remembering God’s provision and providence. In Every Hour I Need You, she walks with women, helping them contemplate God’s unchanging character and discover how his purposes are at work, even in the everyday moments of motherhood. These 30 brief devotions focus on distinct characteristics of God—including his sovereignty, generosity, and patience—inviting women to know him more through his word, experience deeper spiritual affections and stronger faith, and serve Christ through the care of their families at home.

- Personal and Practical: Katie Faris shares stories that will help women draw connections between their own lives and the biblical truths they are studying

These thirty rich reflections will help a mom in the trenches lift her eyes to her Savior, gaining a fresh perspective as she meditates on her Lord. The truths from this book will trickle down into a mom’s daily life and decisions, helping her navigate the joys and trials of motherhood.”
Emily A. Jensen, coauthor, Gospel Mom and Risen Motherhood
“I’m so thankful for Katie Faris’s book. There is nothing I need more than a clearer, closer, better knowledge and love of God; and she has given moms a gift in these meditations on his attributes. Take a few precious moments each day, read Every Hour I Need You, and be blessed by who your God is: faithful, strong, patient, truthful, and so much more.”
Kristen Wetherell, mom of three; author, Humble Moms; Help for the Hungry Soul; and the For the Bible Tells Me So board-book series
“Motherhood can expose our weakness like none other. Every Hour I Need You by Katie Faris invites imperfect moms to rest in the God of perfect strength. Faris paints thirty glorious pictures of God’s character and calls tired, frustrated, impatient, fearful, and discouraged moms to behold the God of all comfort. Faris never fails to recall the person and work of Christ as she blends her personal stories with Scripture on God’s character. Every devotion inspired me to worship and pray to the God who gives rich mercy and gracious help in time of need.”
Nana Dolce, author, You Are Redeemed and The Seed of the Woman
“Motherhood is not for the faint of heart, and Katie Faris knows what busy moms need most. It’s not a list of parenting techniques or even a day at the spa, as wonderful as that sounds. It’s knowing the God who knows us—trusting in his sovereignty, walking in his wisdom, and resting in his love for us and our children. In Every Hour I Need You, Faris takes our hand and leads us to the throne of grace, where we find the mercy and help we so deeply need.”
