There's no such thing as "just" a mom.
Despite the routine tasks and mundane to-do lists, motherhood is anything but insignificant. God has designed motherhood as part of his greater plan to draw people to himself--instilling all women, whether called to traditional mothering or not, with an eternal purpose in nurturing others.
In this book, Gloria Furman searches the Scriptures for the mission of God in motherhood. She opens our eyes to God's life-giving promises--promises intended to empower each and every woman as she makes disciples in her home, in her neighborhood, and around the world.
I previously read Gloria Furman's book, "Treasuring Christ When Your Hands Are Full" and devoured it. This book didn't quite make it to that level for me unfortunately. I did enjoy it, I found it exhausting to read. It felt very deep and theological to me. And while I don't think that is a bad thing, it's often hard for me to find the time to focus on a book like that in the season of motherhood I am in. While this wasn't my favorite read from the author, I will continue to pick up her books because she has great insight and I always take away something that I need.
