The Book
✯✯✯✯
Sweet heavens did I need this book in my life right now. I am in the trenches of early terrible twos. In fact, today was mortifying in the local Hobby Lobby because Tiny decided to throw her biggest tantrum yet--over candy. And I became a yelling mom once at home because I was done. So. Very. Done.
And Why Motherhood Matters checked me hard. It is in the exact vein of encouragement and reproach needed for a young mother from an experienced mother. It is a balm reminding me of the grace extended to me. And I couldn't imagine reading another Bible Study more accurately done for motherhood.
Keep in mind, this study is for all mothers: those craving to become mothers, those that have lost their children at any point, those in the early stages, and those with children grown. I have gathered a list of all the incredible mothers I know in my own life to make sure I tell them to pre-order this book now.
If you're wondering if this might be geared toward you, it is. There will be chapters that aren't yet, and that's okay. I firmly believe this is one of those things you get, sit it next to your Bible, and pull it out when you're at a loss because the chapters that aren't applicable now will become so.
Do your Christian mothering heart a favor: pre-order this book. You will not regret the beauty, grace, and determination it will introduce to your life.
The only reason this study is not 5 stars is because it felt odd to read on my own and like the author took completed individual lessons and decided to make them a whole book.
Oh man, have I been there and done that. Hugs to you mama. I'm glad this book helped you. It sounds like it would help a lot of people.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I think it's like a mini hug in book form. Maybe more of a balm. It is wonderful and has actually been picked up by my small group study.
Deletesounds uplifting
ReplyDeleteSounds interesting. I might check it out if I ever become a mom
ReplyDeleteFun thing about this book is it is also designed for women that are "heart moms." So anyone wanting to become a mom can get a lot out of it, too!
DeleteThis definitely sounds like a great book for those in the Christian faith that are mothers.
ReplyDeleteIt really is. It isn't marketed to mothers in general and is focused more on Christian small groups.
