Are you weary of posturing, pretending, and performing for yourself and others - and even God? Are you confused about what He wants from you, and why He hasn't given you what you want in life?
Me, too.
We are all waiting for our lives to get magically better, while at the same time spinning at break-neck speed in order to arrive precisely where we want to be. These two opposing forces-the idea that "I am not there yet" combined with the fear that "I will never get there"-collide with such force that we experience things like chronic stress. Anxiety. Depression. Discontentment. Exhaustion.
But what if we could rest? What if we could let the Earth spin as God intended it to, and fall into our own peaceful roles in it? What if we could silence the noises in our heads long enough to hear His voice again?
Let the Earth Spin is the story of Caity Neub's early motherhood, fraught as it was with depression and overwhelm and diapers and uncertainty, and how God took her back to the core of her identity -- the real role He had planned for her in the midst of all the spinning.
Reviews:
"Real and relatable, Caity Neuberger is someone you'll come to love through her strong yet vulnerable story (or words - I'm having trouble choosing between the two!)."
- Jean Ruark, Director of Paul Sawyier Public Library"Caity uses her own relatable stories to help you believe that your own voice, your own gifts, your own beautiful, ordinary life is
everything you need...
everything you've been called to do by our loving God who is ever-near. We can slow down and just be
here, while the Earth spins."
- Mikala Albertson,
MD; author of
Ordinary On Purpose: Surrendering PERFECT and Discovering Beauty Amid the Rubble"Caity writes in a conversational style that is so easy to read. Frankly, though her style is her own, Caity rivals Ann Voskamp in writing contemplative, poetic, raw, honest, insightful, and inspiring words that speak truth from vulnerable places. Caity's stories, familiar as they are to moms everywhere, become meditations on love, forgiveness, and mercy."
- Beth Feia, English Teacher at Mansfield Christian School & Editor of 11 Years"What Caity Neub accomplishes in
Let the Earth Spin is astonishing. A clear-eyed and emotionally honest depiction of a young mother's struggles, successes, and salvation, her book will engage, challenge, comfort and question its readers at every turn. There's so much to ponder: her interplay of self-doubt and maternal instinct; the ongoing, never-settled dynamic between her identity and her faith; her direct-address approach to readers of all stripes (but especially young women like her); and her quintessential belief that there's a place in God's plan for everyone, that faith takes work, that we can find peace amidst the clamor. I'm neither young nor a mother, but I know a gripping, yet uplifting, tale when I see one."
- Steve Edgehouse, associate professor of English and Modern Languages,Stark State College, North Canton, Ohio"You will not be able to put Caity's book down! It is filled with so many practical, helpful tips that call you out of your comfortable life and into a wild adventure with God. Though she writes from her perspective as a new mom and wife, there are so many lessons for
anyone daring enough to read and take to heart the gold nuggets she exposes from her experiences. God has truly blessed her with the gift of writing. I want EVERYONE to read
Let The Earth Spin!"
- Julie Bartholomew, Wife & Mother
