The extensive bibliography at the end of this book shows just how much time, research, and energy was put into what ultimately feels like a very well written thesis paper. An engaging and thought provoking piece, this book led me down a number of rabbit holes and grabbing my Bible to read sections that weren't as familiar to me. Tying in a modern mother's struggle with social medias, the Covid-19 pandemic, and other issues affecting our daily lives to what historical motherhood truly was, and what it is traditionally presented as, allowed a personal connection to what my experience as a mother has been. This is definitely a book that has given me food for thought while affirming my place as a good mother. I read this book through NetGalley.

A thought provoking approach to the topic and person of Mary. Some good thoughts, some very fresh and some more familiar.

(I received a free digital copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review)

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the e-ARC. This book is a masterpiece manifesto of motherhood and Mary - and how they both enable us to see our loving God afresh in in their stubborn hope and action.
