Author Evie Lynn Cunningham announces the nationwide release of her new Christian parenting book, “A Joyful Mess: Devotions for Surviving Early Motherhood.”

“A Joyful Mess” helps the reader to seek God and to find peace in the mundane daily life of a mother. Included in this book are 31 short stories, along with a thought for the day, wisdom from the Bible and a prayer to help the reader along. Cunningham writes a helpful, Christian book for mothers who feel overwhelmed by the everyday tasks in their early motherhood journey and who wonder where to find God in all of the mess. The devotional stories are written from the perspective of a mother as well, containing touching, embarrassing and crazy moments in the job called motherhood. “A Joyful Mess” will make the reader laugh, cry and nod in agreement with each situation, according to a press release.

Published by Tate Publishing and Enterprises, the book is available through bookstores nationwide, from the publisher at www.tatepublishing.com/bookstore, or by visiting barnesandnoble.com or amazon.com.

Cunningham has a passion for helping women to understand that they are not alone in this journey called life. She loves to write in her rare spare time, having spoken on the subject of motherhood messes at local Mothers of Preschoolers groups.
