Love like a Mother: How the Sacred Work of Motherhood Reveals the Maternal Heart of God (Exploring Biblical Imagery That Reveals God’s Nurturing and Protective Nature) by Elizabeth Berget

"A balm for new and experienced moms alike."--Publishers Weekly Discover the God Who Mothers 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 us to rediscover the God of the Bible as the one who gestates, births, nourishes, comforts, and protects: just like a mother. Each chapter includes ● relatable stories from life with little ones; ● overlooked maternal imagery for God in the Bible; and ● practical, contemplative reflection prompts and breath prayers. 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 life--even in the middle of dishes, diapers, and sleepless nights. For moms feeling adrift in the early years of parenting, this book offers a lifeline to spiritual connection. Read more
