Every mom can identify with the feeling that they’re in a race to the finish line every day, stumbling over everything in their path—including Legos and dirty laundry! Kara-Kae James knows how overwhelming motherhood can be. As she writes, “When we come to the place where we think that we have failed—this is the moment when God’s Word and motherhood intersect.” In Mom Up, James shares four themes that impact how she follows Jesus and parents her kids: intentional motherhood, genuine community, refreshing rest, and embracing chaos. With practical ideas for building relationships with other moms, grace-filled Scripture reminders, and a healthy dose of humor, Mom Up helps readers step out of survival mode and into the abundant life God has for them and their family.
“ Mom Up will empower you to fulfill God’s plan for motherhood by standing on the unshakable foundation of His Word. Kara-Kae delivers truth, wisdom, and, most importantly, the permission every mom needs to reject what the world says, claim ownership over her calling, and declare victory in Christ.” -- Erin Weidemann founder and creator of Bible Belles “Kara-Kae addresses the felt need tensions that every mom feels at some point—feelings of isolation, guilt, fear, and exhaustion. She raises those tensions out of personal experience and meets them with the grace that she has experienced. In Mom Up , women will find rest in the chaos, joy in the mundane, and a friend in the trenches.” -- Sarah Bragg host of the Surviving Sarah and Are My Kids on Track podcasts “Parenting is an adventure! You need a friend like Kara-Kae, who gets both the joys of parenting and how hard some seasons of motherhood can be. She knows how to move beyond just surviving the seasons and how to reach out to God for strength. In Mom Up , she’ll take you by the hand and help you thrive in it all.” -- Alli Worthington, speaker and author of The Year of Living Happy “Kara-Kae James has a marvelous gift. She understands exactly where you are—the loneliness, the guilt, the unrelenting pace of motherhood—but she refuses to leave you there. Somehow, Kara-Kae calls mothers into a bigger and fuller vision of motherhood, without loading us down with more to-do’s. Instead, you will open this book and feel lighter.” -- Sharon Hodde Miller, author of Free of Me “I’m not one to quickly pick up a book about motherhood out of fear of feeling like a failure as I turn the pages. But, because I know Kara-Kae’s heart, I knew the words of Mom Up would be a sweet balm to my soul. Filled with grace and very practical tools, this book both encourages and challenges us to live and thrive in our God-given calling of motherhood. You will find a new friend in Kara-Kae and do fist bumps and praise hands as you read this book.” -- Sarah Martin, speaker and author of Just RISE UP!
Kara-Kae James is the founder and executive director of Thrive Moms, a ministry dedicated to empowering moms. She and her husband, Brook, have four children and live in Texas. They are passionate about adoption and creatively reaching people for Jesus.

This is one of the worst books I have read in a long time. To begin with the writing is confused, rambles, and is often contradictory with a little bit of hand waving to cover the contradictions. The style is condescending and self-promoting. I'll try to be specific because these things matter a lot, sometimes they mean the difference between a person keeping their faith or even their lives. Depression and Anxiety are real problems and if someone with those issues read this I am afraid the message could be severely damaging (actually, I don't see how it wouldn't be). I thought the title was metaphorical. Like, take a shaming statement "man up" and make it into an encouraging thing "moms being lifted up," something like that. No, it literally just means take the man shaming thing and make it apply to women. The entire first section describes some frighteningly dark emotional and mental issues. Depression, anxiety attacks from daily life, screaming at toddlers when they make messes, etc. Rather than make any mention of counseling, seeing a doctor, or even learning skills to cope with the manifestation of chemical imbalances, the author just tells you to "Mom up" and quit "surviving," just "choose to believe Jesus" and thrive instead. Actually, she does mention seeing a therapist (except using the term "shrink"), and then says she doesn't remember anything from those sessions, she really just needed to realize how her issues were just pride so she could choose to not be prideful and stop being a perfectionist. She includes a handy chart where she lists all the things related to "surviving," compared to her definition of "thriving." The Surviving column has sadness, anxiety, poor choices, etc. The opposite column has a trait which may or may not be opposite (for example, joy is not always the opposite of depression, but on the chart they are opposites), along with a little verse as proof. Many of these verses seemed taken out of context. She says that Jesus died for the express purpose of saving you from "surviving." Then to drive the point home even further, she says that if you are exhibiting the survival traits, you are, quite literally, a "substandard Christian," and the stress of motherhood is no excuse for that. Choosing is a theme. Choose to enjoy your life (Choose joy!). Choose to not be anxious (there's a whole chapter about how fear is a sin). Choose to not be depressed. Choose to not have any baggage anymore. And the way we do all these things according to this book? You know, we just choose to believe God and we choose to pray them away. There is zero discussion or encouragement that God has given us tools like counseling and medication and learned behaviors, nothing, and she talks about a lot of things that always need this kind of intervention (like adoption emotionally abused teenagers, for example). Then there are the boundary issues. She has an entire section on community. Which sounds great, except her definition of acceptable friendships is people with "refrigerator rights" who are totally enmeshed with your life. Of course, if you don't have friends like that, you just need to choose to make it happen. "Do the work." Like everything else, the implication is that it's your own fault if your life doesn't measure up. Her chapter on marriage is even more egregious. She tells you that your marriage is your top priority, that your job towards your husband is to keep him flattered (I mean, of course, "appreciated."). Date nights? Your job. Bringing him snacks and watching what he wants on TV if he's in a bad mood? Totally your job. Excusing his bad moods because he works so hard? Your job. There is no mention of mutuality in this process, and definitely no acknowledgement of the possibility of being abused emotionally or taken advantage of. One of the other things that bothered me a lot (and I can't write a review that includes them all, it would be too long) was the heavy dose of "look-at-me" ism by the author and her encouragement to flaunt your own self and promote her while you do so. While there is a small section on seeking to "serve, not be seen," there are far more mentions of how she celebrated herself on social media. There are instructions to take pictures of your accomplishments (bring a friend a coffee!), post it to social media, and hashtag her book. Then she says not to compare ourselves to others. But show off on Twitter later, ok? Now, that being said, there were some decent points. Your children are individuals, and not your property. Spiritual strength and significance does not fall to men. It is important to recognize when things are out of control and take steps to make sure they don't stay that way (but not by just praying the problems away). Those points were few and far between. And they are far from unique to this book, so it is easy to learn them elsewhere, from someone without a prosperity gospel to sell.
Whether you SAH or work full time you will wonder how Kara Kae got in your head to see what youwere thinking! I plan on reading and rereading this book to get it to sink in. Addresses mom guilt, the societal pressure moms are under and how to find strength in Jesus to get through. The poor reviews I skimmed made me think that spiritually maybe those readers weren't in the right frame to get the most out of this book. This book is just what I needed on my Christian path! *the book did come damaged - cover was terribly creased in half
This is such a real and raw book about motherhood. I have been in survival mode for far too long. I often found myself wishing for the next season of life to come because having young kids is very demanding. I was really able to relate to the author and the struggles she once had. I cried many times while reading the book because it was so convicting. While reading this book, I found myself continually feeling encouraged to live life in a more meaningful way. To let go of unrealistic expectations and pressures associated with motherhood has been so freeing. I finally feel like I'm starting to thrive and enjoy my kids rather than just going through the motions each day, constantly feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, frustrated, and defeated. Mom Up is a quick and easy read - Once you start reading it, it's hard to put it down. I would highly recommend it for any mom.
A mom's must read! You will highlight and bookmark and read again and again! Easy to read - great study guide/group discussion. Great group read, I'm sure moms could talk for hours together about topics/experiences mentioned in these chapters.
I purchased this book from Amazon to read with my sister. All opinions are my own. 🌟🌟🌟🌟 Mom Up by Kara-Kae James. Motherhood stretches your limits, tests your patience, and leaves you feeling ragged. Some days your schedule is jammed packed and the next all you want is 5 more minutes of sleep before starting over again. This book guides you to jump in and learn to stop and enjoy those jam packed days with a little more patience and less stress. Because let's face it mommin' is so hard!
This is really a great book. Lots of times and different ways of thinking (in a great way). However, if you are not religious this is not a book for you. I do have faith in my own beliefs and I do believe in a higher power but this book in 85%-90% just about god and our lord. Which was a bit much for me. But over all I really did like this book. Was definitely a good change of thinking for me.
I absolutely loved this book. I am a mom of 2 and since having kids even finishing a book is a task but with Mom up I could not get enough! The book is relatable and practical and shifts your mindset about motherhood and life in general! I started noticing my attitudes and the things I do to weigh me down as a mother, how I have been living in survival mode and scraping by ! But she gives real truths and real homework to start mom-ing up! Please get this book whether it be for yourself or someone else as a gift, use it a Bible study or for your home group! This book is worth the read and the share and prepare yourself to start being a new mom, a more rejuvenated mom and wife and person!
Absolutely LOVED this book! Great for any Mom in the “thick of it”- the hard stages of parenting (all are hard in their own way, right?!). If you are feeling worn down and like you’ll never “measure up”, this is for you! We are not meant to face the world alone and with our own strength. This book is a great reminder of how we need God and His grace daily. It’s about how we can change our mindset to change our lives. It’s like that pep talk from your BFF over coffee, that may be hard to hear or accept at first, but deep down you realize what they’re saying is true. And it’s time for you to let go and Let God. Every mom, new or seasoned, can benefit from reading this book. Highly recommend!
