Advance Praise

“Gloria’s words, challenges, and high view of mothering were what my heart knew to be true in the years of my own mothering journey. I enthusiastically endorse this call to us as women to nurture, to create, and to believe God for the glory of the gospel in the lives of those he has placed in our paths. May thousands of women accept Gloria’s challenge to be used by God to transform lives for the glory of his kingdom in their homes and in their worlds. Selah!”
—Barbara Rainey, Cofounder, FamilyLife; mom of six; author, Letters to My Daughters: The Art of Being a Wife

“With a firm grasp of the biblical narrative and a sharp focus on the mission of God, Gloria Furman challenges us to see motherhood as it is—not just a high calling but a part of the mission of God. You’ll be encouraged and challenged by this book!”
—Ed Stetzer, President, LifeWay Research; author, Subversive Kingdom; www.edstetzer.com

“Gloria Furman writes from a place of great wisdom and deep trust in Christ, but she also just gets the chaos of it all. She will humbly take you by the hand and help you dream about how to unleash into the world children who actually love Jesus and want to impact their world to do the same.”
—Jennie Allen, Founder and Visionary, IF:Gathering; author, Anything and Restless

I previously read Gloria Furman's book, "Treasuring Christ When Your Hands Are Full" and devoured it. This book didn't quite make it to that level for me unfortunately. I did enjoy it, I found it exhausting to read. It felt very deep and theological to me. And while I don't think that is a bad thing, it's often hard for me to find the time to focus on a book like that in the season of motherhood I am in. While this wasn't my favorite read from the author, I will continue to pick up her books because she has great insight and I always take away something that I need.

I love Gloria Furman’s books and really enjoyed this one as well. It gave a deep theological basis for the importance of motherhood. I like reading Gloria’s insights and it helps me think more deeply about my role as mother and my relationship with the Lord.
