In the sea of cheap snack-food books for moms laced with sodium-nitrate, yellow-dye, false-gospel additives that rot our souls, THIS ONE stands out as pure therapeutic, organic-grade goodness.
Gloria Furhman’s Missional Motherhood is Jesus on every page. The cross on every page. The word on every page. It’s motherhood from a refreshing, gospel-centered perspective from a woman who has lived what she teaches. If you need some heavenly perspective on your laundry pile, your to-do list, and your mighty and worthy calling, this book will deliver you to the feet of Jesus because: “Christ created motherhood for himself.”
This book has been especially poignant for me this season as I have grieved with many of you over the millions of unborn babies who will die in my lifetime. We as Christ-following mamas really do “nurture life in the face of death.”
Fellow tired mama, read the Bible first. It is our oxygen. Then, when you can, spend a couple minutes with Gloria in Missional Motherhood, even one paragraph at a time. Then find me so we can talk about it!
