Showing titles in Motherhood

So, this isn't at all what you had in mind, or where you thought you'd end up . . . as a single parent, raising kids on your own - at least some of the time. You're battling the day-to-day grind, making life-defining decisions while helping with homework, shoelaces and Book Week costumes, all the while working and maybe even having a social life. It can be arduous, lonely and overwhelming. But it can also be liberating - not just adapting to your new normal, but wholeheartedly embracing it.

Motherhood is overwhelming, tender, exhausting, and beautiful—and can feel like a spiritual desert. But what if motherhood offers us an entirely new understanding of who God is? In Love like a Mother, Elizabeth Berget gently invites listeners to rediscover the God of the Bible as the one who gestates, births, nourishes, comforts, and protects: just like a mother. Weaving together rich and encouraging scriptural insights with relatable stories from her own life as a mom, Berget shows how mothers uniquely bear the image of God in the sacred ordinary of everyday family routines.
