The Beauty of Motherhood is now available wherever books are sold.
The early years of motherhood are filled with moments of wonder and joy alongside day-to-day challenges. You want to connect with God, but you’re exhausted. You’re questioning if you’re doing enough for your kids and wondering if you’ll ever have time for yourself again.
With scripture, stories, prayers, and practices, The Beauty of Motherhood provides refreshment, encouragement, and the reminder that you are not alone as you mother. Join me and my coauthor Kim Knowle-Zeller as we bear witness to the ways God’s grace breaks through in our motherhood journeys. In this devotional, we explore growing pains, pregnancy, birth, body image, delight, loss, comparison, vocation, friendship, and more. Whether you’re new to motherhood or a veteran mom, we hope our stories will help you slow down and see the beauty in raising young children.
These poignant and prayerful meditations will bring you back to yourself – and the love God has for you and your children.
