For those of us who just can’t seem to get our house together even though other aspects of our lives run smoothly comes a book that relieves the guilt so we can move on to the purpose—creating a haven at home. The author’s anecdotes were funny and instructive. This book helped me focus on why having a clean home is important, and how to get there in small steps.

I've been a longtime follow of Dana K. White and have read all of her previous books. I'm also a very busy ADHD mom of three so no amount of book reading has been able to help me keep my house under control. This book was a breath of fresh air and helped relieve a little bit of the shame I associate with having a messy house. It helped me keep things in perspective and remember what's important. I will definitely be purchasing a physical copy and recommending this book.

Dana K. White's latest book is a refreshing, grace-filled take on the messiness of life—both in our homes and our hearts. With her signature humor and practicality, she tackles the guilt and shame many feel about disorganized spaces, reminding us that God doesn’t measure our worth by how clean our house is. Packed with relatable stories, biblical wisdom, and her straightforward decluttering tips, this book is like having a chat with a friend who gets it. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by mess but still want to embrace a life filled with God’s love and purpose, this one’s for you!

Fun and simple encouragement for something that adds so much stress and worry to some of our lives! Great book.

Okay this book should be gifted to every mom you know! Because I am a mom of four and needed this book so badly. It was absolutely beautiful! Just wonderfully written. I loved how well it brought to light scripture and the things to really focus on instead. Wonderful job Dana!

Reading this book was like getting a warm hug from a church friend. It does not condone laziness, but acknowledges that even if you want your house to be clean, it might be challenging for you to make that happen (e.g., due to having young children who make a mess they can't clean up yet). Most importantly, the good news of Jesus' grace is preached directly and repeatedly: we can't clean up our house or our lives enough to earn God's love, and we don't have to, because He gives it freely. This book also had an interesting exposition of Proverbs 31 and some other Bible passages. In addition to her compassion and Biblical literacy, I appreciated Mrs. White's humor and authenticity. Even though it's not the specific focus of this book, there are also practical suggestions for how to declutter a house without creating more of a mess. I recommend this thoughtful and helpful book. It left me feeling understood and inspired.

Thank you to NetGalley and W Publishing/Thomas Nelson for the free eARC! I post this review with my honest opinions. This review will be cross-posted to Amazon, Instagram, and Goodreads closer to the book's publication.
