Faith and Encouragement for the Mother’s Heart
If there is one way to come face to face with our shortcomings and failures, it’s through the magnifying mirror of motherhood. And yet there is so much beauty in the most mundane moments, so many opportunities to learn and share grace, and to use our daily experiences as teachable moments not only for our children, but also for ourselves. If you are struggling to find peace, freedom from worry or just want a deeper connection to God, this collection is for you, dear mama.
