I received an ARC from NetGalley and this is my honest opinion. Thank you Thomas Nelson for the opportunity to read this Christian Self-Help book.

This book drives home that "Jesus Doesn't Care About Your Messy House, He Cares About Your Heart. It includes many scriptures references and drills home that when Jesus speaks we must listen to what he says and follow his plan for us. Definitely a book I would recommend to those anxious about their home and worried about what other people think when they enter your home. Know that Jesus cares for you and Offers "grace".

The title of this book definitely attracted my attention and I had heard about the author from family members. It was a quick read with realistic and relatable information about a topic that many people secretly struggle with. You can be sure that I will be checking out her previous books. Thanks to NetGalley, Thomas Nelson and the author for an advance copy to read and review.

Dana K. White does an outstanding job with this book. Jesus Doesn't Care About Your Messy House is a breath of fresh air in a world pushed by busyness.

For those who can't seem to get everything done, it helps to keep the perspective and a reminder of what really is important. Practical and relatable, it feels like you are sitting down chatting with a friend.

"It's assumed that a woman who is admirable and worthy to be praised would have a perfect house."

Cleanliness is next to godliness is a false statement. Often referred as a bible verse. It is not in the Bible. It was a statement made by John Wesley in a sermon in 1778. Although cleanliness is a good thing, we need not get hung up as a spiritual thing. Cleaning is absolutely necessary. Dirt and bacteria can be dangerous to our bodies and health.

Dana shares biblical wisdom for God's purpose and love. Encouragement we all need. She states she is a woman from Texas who figures out how to teach people how to get their homes under control and break their death grip attachments to clutter. This book is well worth reading.

I received a complimentary ebook copy from the publisher, through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own

First, let me say I’m not exactly the target audience for this book. I loosely follow Dana, but haven’t read any of her books or taken her courses. I’m not overwhelmed by clutter, but I struggle with normal amounts of it, haha! However, I was drawn in by the title, and read it without really knowing what to expect. It was different—and better than anything I expected.
While I didn’t learn a lot about decluttering (not the point of this book) I learned so much about the state of my heart and my opinions of others. I felt convicted and encouraged. I finished the book with less angst about my sometimes messy house, and with empathy for those who struggle. I also got a better sense of Jesus’ love for me—and how it’s not dependent on how messy or tidy my house is.
This book is for all Christian women, whether your house is clean or dirty, organized or cluttered. You’ll change your mindset and your heart through Dana’s encouraging words!

The phrase “cleanliness is next to godliness” isn’t found in the Bible. Your house can never be good enough to please God—not because you can’t scrub it or declutter hard enough, but because that is never what He was looking for in the first place. Join Dana K. White, author of Decluttering at the Speed of Life, as she works through removing the shame associated with having a messy home and reveling in the grace and love of our Savior. This is about God who cares about you.

I really enjoyed this book. I think that it would be perfect for those who feel like they are bad people who can’t keep their house up to everyone else’s standards.

Thank you to the author and the publisher for a copy of this book for me to read and review.

I loved the premise of this book, and it certainly needed to be said, but a lot of the book felt repetitive. I like Dana White's previous work, but this could have been a blog post.

This was the book I didn't know I needed. Dana's writing style is fun, but to the point. I loved that her faith shines through in this book. I've read her decluttering and homemaking books, but this book is a departure from those with a focus on her relationship with the Lord, and lessons from the Bible. She writes about her faith and how a messy home is not a sin, or the sign of a lazy person. This book helped me to see how things that were said about my home growing up were not biblical. This really helped me to shift my perspective on homemaking. Also, this book gave me the words to share with my teenage daughter. She is a very creative person who sees a potential project in everything. Ev.er.y.thing. Needless to say, her room is not the tidiest of teenage rooms ever, but now I feel better equipped to help her.

I enjoyed my time in this book. Thank you to NetGalley for the eARC in exchange for my opinion.

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.
