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 listeners to rediscover the God of the Bible as the one who gestates, births, nourishes, comforts, and protects: just like a mother. 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 family routines. 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.
For moms feeling adrift in the early years of parenting, this book offers a lifeline to spiritual connection--right in the middle of dishes, diapers, and sleepless nights. It also serves as an inspiration to moms in all stages of life, perfect for gift-giving and group discussion.
