The phrase “cleanliness is next to godliness” isn’t found in the Bible. Your house can never be good enough to please God—not because you can’t scrub it or declutter hard enough, but because that is never what He was looking for in the first place. Join Dana K. White, author of Decluttering at the Speed of Life, as she works through removing the shame associated with having a messy home and reveling in the grace and love of our Savior.
This book is for you, if no matter how competent you feel in other parts of your life, you still feel overwhelmed and defeated by your messy home. While it’s true that keeping a clean and organized living space can contribute to a sense of peace and well-being, it should never be equated with your worth, moral standing, or what Jesus thinks about you.

MY THOUGHTS.....
How often have you heard "Cleanliness is next to godliness" and thought these words came from Scripture? No, this isn't found in God's Word. How often have you read the qualities of the 'perfect woman' described in Proverbs 31? Many of us long to pattern ourselves after this role model but do you realize that cleanliness is never mentioned in these noted verses?
The title of this book captured my attention immediately. Believe me, it isn't fun to feel guilty about a messy house! My Mom was the ultimate housewife, and I learned early that I couldn't measure up to her standards. After reading this book, I was reminded that the messiness of my house isn't what God sees in me. He sees my thoughts, my actions, and the condition of my heart so any concern I feel should be associated with these things. These are the things I need to work on!
Author Dana K. White doesn't condone laziness, and she doesn't promote perfection. There are tips to help us declutter, encouragement to keep us going, and inspiration from God's Word. We are reminded that God's Grace has nothing to do with an immaculate house or a clean heart: it is a gift freely given that can never be earned.
This is a well-written book laced with humor and heartfelt advice. I recommend "Jesus Doesn't Care About Your Messy House: He Cares About Your Heart"!
