Love Like A Mother

Description

Motherhood is overwhelming, tender, exhausting, beautiful--and it can feel like a spiritual desert. But what if God meets us right in the sacred mess of it all? In Love like a Mother, Elizabeth Berget gently invites readers to rediscover the God of the Bible as the one who gestates, births, nourishes, comforts, and protects--just like a mother. Weaving together rich scriptural insights with real-life stories from her own parenting journey, Berget shows how mothers uniquely bear the image of God in the sacred ordinary of everyday family routines. Each chapter includes · relatable stories from life with little ones; · overlooked maternal imagery for God in the Bible; and · practical, contemplative reflection prompts and breath prayers. For moms feeling adrift in the early years of parenting, this book offers a lifeline to spiritual connection--right in the middle of dishes, diapers, and sleepless nights. It also serves as an inspiration to moms in all stages of life, perfect for gift-giving and group discussion.
