Book Description
Every new mom experiences a myriad of emotions—joy, love, the frightening, yet terrific reality that you are now responsible for a tiny little dependent. And in the midst of all these emotions—and burpings, feedings, diaper changes, and quick naps—moms need to be reminded of God’s awesomeness. In this gift-like book, new mom and best-selling author Sarah Arthur writes about how delivering her son three weeks early reminds her of God’s timing, how her trip home from the hospital with her newborn son tucked away in his car seat points to God being in control even when she is fearful, and how a mom’s concern over friendly strangers touching her young child in the grocery store also reminds her that people are sent to help. In a fresh and contemplative style, Arthur sits alongside Mom and helps her understand that God is in control . . . even when her life feels drastically out of control. This devotional will be a great companion for Mom during the small amount of time she gets to sit and be still and think of the truths of God’s word, while relating it to her new favorite subject—her baby.

Book Description

We work to keep up appearances, meet worldly standards, and find satisfaction in the offerings of this life such as success, admiration, and ease. However, God has set eternity in a mother’s heart, and deep inside, we long for more. In Heavenly Minded Mom, author and blogger Katie Bennett beckons us into a new way of viewing our present reality by rising above the ordinary and routine to see a bigger plan and purpose for motherhood.

The 90 compelling meditations, scripture readings, and invitations to journal and reflect, will encourage us to reevaluate how we envision our lives and to claim a heavenly mindset towards our mothering tasks. These inspirational readings will help us discover a new way of looking at our responsibilities as a mom through God’s eyes. Embrace a simpler life filled with God’s promises and love as you reflect on God’s powerful work as it has woven through your past and present in anticipation of its impact in the future and your spiritual legacy.

Book Description
What does it look like to be the kind of mother God has called you to be, and how can you be that woman? God has a very important purpose for moms as we care for, connect with, and shepherd our child or children. But many days, just doing the bare minimum can feel overwhelming. When toys are strewn everywhere, siblings are fighting, and you're juggling too many tasks at once, it's easy to lose track of what matters most and then to sink into guilt and discouragement. These ninety daily devotions will bring you back to a biblical perspective on motherhood, using anecdotes and scriptures to refresh and inspire you and to turn your heart to the only One who is equipped to strengthen and equip you. What does it look like to be authentic with your kids? How do you create a relationship in which your kids feel comfortable opening up to you, even as they become teens and adults? How do you effectively show the love of Christ to children, even when they're pushing all the boundaries? How do you teach your kids to work hard, delay gratification, and serve others? Practical advice mingles with Christ-centered reflections in each daily reading. When Sara Daigle was a teenager, her mother was her best friend and she’d speak of her fondly to everyone. But she soon realized this was not the norm as she heard many girls her age groan over their mothers and wish they didn’t have to talk with them. As Sarah grew older and had four children of her own, she often turned to her mother for advice and support. Her mother is so good at relationship that to this day, all ten of her now-grown children love spending time with her. These easy-to-read devotions give a glimpse into the things Sarah Daigle's mother taught her, and the things she's learned on her own parenting journey. You’ll find a scripture and a prayer to line up with the story and/or inspiration, all meant to encourage you in the challenges of mothering, and to increase your joy! This devotional is geared to bring even the busiest of women into daily intimacy with God. It is written to help each heart know they are not alone, but destined for a life of meaning, identity, and purpose in union with a Creator God who designed each of us just as we are.

Book Description
There are moments in motherhood where life feels like one endless task. Where nothing seems to get done even though you've been working at it (what was ''it'' again?) all day. The dishes, the diapers, the homework assignments, the grocery shopping, the sporting events, the music lessons--and those all have to happen before five. Then it's time for the evening cycle. Dinner, laundry, baths, story time, and the age-old, half-hour ''but I don't want to go to bed'' drama. It's enough to exhaust the most energetic person on earth. And tomorrow you get to do it all again. Finding time to be still in the chaos of motherhood is no simple task. Yet, when we do make time to quiet ourselves before God, something powerful happens. He gives us supernatural rest. He floods our minds with peace. He restores our joy. And he whispers to the deepest part of our hearts that it all matters. That we matter. As you reflect on the devotions, Scriptures, and prayers, be reminded that God sees every effort you make and he is deeply pleased with your sacrifice. Sit quietly with him and let his love flow into every part of you. He has called you, and he will equip you with everything you need. Be still and be blessed.
