Are you feeling the pressure to keep your home looking picture-perfect amid the chaos of work and family life? Well, take a deep breath, because Hilary Bernstein has a message just for you. In The Tension of Tidy, she gently reminds you that your home doesn't need to mirror the flawless spaces seen on TV or social media. With a comforting biblical perspective, Hilary assures that God's grace extends to your homemaking journey.

Instead of encouraging the chase after elusive perfection, The Tension of Tidy invites you to pause and reflect on the Psalms, allowing God to reshape your outlook on homemaking and say goodbye to the constant pressure of keeping up with ever-changing trends and expectations. With these Scriptures, you'll discover that life can find a beautiful balance between productivity and rest, all fueled by God's unwavering grace.

Drawing from her experience as a women's ministry director, Hilary offers practical advice, relatable anecdotes, thought-provoking questions, and action steps to help you maintain a tidy home without losing your sanity. You can let go of the stress and embrace the grace-filled journey of homemaking.

"This book . . . holds out freedom and joy to women whove strived not only to have a tidy house but to present a tidy, perfect life to those around us. Hilary reminds us what truly matters in The Tension of Tidy."
