Furman gives moms a fresh, biblical perspective on their calling to raise and nurture children, helping them live out God’s story of redemption as they offer the message of the gospel to those around them.
Title and description seem a bit misleading... but this book is full of TRUTH This is a beautifully written book and is packed with truth! However, I do agree with other reviewers that the title of the book, and perhaps even the cover artwork don't exactly match the content. I think I was expecting a book about being in the beautiful and messy trenches of motherhood rather than a theological overview of the old testament. While at times it has been a bit dry, I think if I had known what to expect going into it I would have appreciated it a lot more in the moment. It does a great job of reminding us of our faithful and powerful Creator. Overall, this book may not be what you thought you wanted, but it could be just what you needed.P.S. If you're looking for Christ-filled Mama encouragement that is an easier read and less heavy on the theology, check out the book "Mom Enough."A Look Into Christ Centered Mothering Gloria Furman is extremely wise and insightful and shares her God given gifts to encourage and point mother's to Him. (Mother meaning biological, adoptive, or spiritual!) This book is great for any woman in any mothering capacity- chasing toddlers, raising teenagers, or even if you have no children at home but you mother/disciple other children or women in your life! I gave it a four because it was a little tough to follow at times, but overall there is a lot of good stuff and things to reflect on and learn. The book isn't what I originally expected, but it surpassed my expectations in a good way, and I was challenged and encouraged by this book!A few friends and I took her advice at the beginning of the book and discussed it over some scones. This book could stand alone but is so great with supplemental discussion amongst friends.Encouraging and convicting If you, like me, break out in hives at the mention of girl fluff Bible studies/non-fiction, this book will evoke the opposite. Gloria Furman does not mince words and tells the glorious grace of the Gospel like it is. The call to missional motherhood steps outside the bounds of biological mothering and spurs us on to not only nurture our children but those we interact with daily. This book was an encouragement as well as a conviction. Great read.
