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)

"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. Love like a Mother also serves as an inspiration to moms in all stages of life, perfect for gift-giving and group discussion.
