Publisher's summary

In this National Bestseller, Mary Katherine Backstrom shares heartbreaking and hilarious stories of how God uses each "mess" in our lives to bring us closer to Him. She shows us that it's okay to celebrate exactly where we are right now—holy, hot mess and all.

A lot of people struggle with the concept of being holy. But the fact is, even the hottest of messes are being shaped—right now—into Jesus' likeness. In this book, Mary Katherine shares the sometimes-hidden evidence of God's work in her life and shows you that it's okay to embrace the hot messes.

Mary Katherine will share both hilarious and vulnerable stories about faith, friendships, motherhood, marriage, and depression. She will cover the topics that plague our hearts every day with raw, honest truth and a side of laughter. Mary Katherine invites you into her story as a friend, encouraging you to embrace the hot messes in your life. Because we are all a work in progress, and as long as we are alive, we are under construction—and construction sites tend to be messy.

Honestly and very Well Written

I loved it! This is definitely a book I can relate to while on my christain journey. It points out the fact that we are not perfect and that God loves us for who we are regardless of our mistakes, troubles, and wrong doing. yes even while proclaiming and loving God, we are all a Holy Hot Mess.

Enjoyed

Was a good listen/book. Laughed out loud many times, and it made me reflect on God's purpose and my life. I do wish there was a little more of the bible and God correlation and talk in it. MK, the author and narrator, seems like a fun person to be around, and if we lived nearby, I'd want to meet her and be friends, LOL.
