When I heard that Kathryn was writing a book, my prayer was that she would somehow capture her encouraging, sassy self on the pages as she pointed people back to their relationship with Christ. Well, she managed to do just that. I received an advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest review, and I have to tell you that my honest review included texting my best friend after I finished Chapter 1, telling her to preorder a copy for herself...and if she didn't, I would be ordering it for her. If you have ever struggled with trying to prioritize what the world expects of your family and what God expects of your family, Kathryn's book will provide you with the hard questions you need to ask to determine if you're on the right track. Sassy, sweet, and full of heart-stopping poignant moments, Live Big, Love Bigger is one of my favorite reads of 2019!

An excellent book, especially for moms to show how God interacts in all of our lives, including the busy ones of family life. Whitacker is honest about her struggles as the mom of six kids in Texas. She does a great job of showing how God can be present in all parts of our lives and how to be aware of this.

I received an ARC from NetGalley and I so enjoyed this book. The story is Kathryn Whitaker, her family, and Jesus. There were sad times, happy times, stressful times and at all times Jesus was right there with them. My favorite part of the book was when she was thinking about her family and how busy they were, it seemed like everyone was cramming as much as possible into their life now, striving for perfection so she decided to have a six-month moratorium. There were mistakes along the way, but it was ok. As she said, find a way to let God redeem it all.
Live Big, Love Bigger is not just for Catholics, it is a book that most people would enjoy and get so much from. It is life with a breath of fresh air.

This was such a fun read! I enjoyed it so much that I ended up reading it in one sitting!

Sometimes we experience things in life that change us forever. In this charming memoir, Kathryn shares the profound impact her premature son’s birth on her life. In the loss of control over this situation, she experienced the transforming power of God. In this touching tale, Kathryn shares with us the the “Lessons from Luke” - intentional prayer, priestly relationships, digital life, marriage, holy friendships, joy and order, family vacations, self-care, and family culture and how they
brought her closer to Him, her family and friends. A long time lover of Kathryn’s blog, as soon as I started this book, I was immediately hooked. It made me rethink relationships, ponder the intentionality of my life as a daughter of God and how I can love my family more. Told with wit and sass, this little gem with be on my ‘books to revisit often’ shelf..
