Risen motherhood
(Book)

Includes bibliographical references.

"Instead of showing or children the grace we've been shown, we build walls of rules and regulations to earn God's favor. Instead of serving our husbands out of love, we grumble in our hears and keep a record of all the ways they've let us down in the past....Instead of putting our hope in Christ, we put hope in our own efforts and comforts--living for naptime, bedtime, when Daddy gets home, when we get to leave for work, or when we'll have time to zone out on our phones....We don't need the world's version of motherhood; we need a risen motherhood, transformed by the resurrecton of our Lord and Savior. We need his she blood if we're going to she out guilt and failures. We need his fullness to fill us where we are empty. We need his sacrifice and hurt so we can sacrifice for others." --introduction.
