Love like a Mother

Love Like a Mother — Inside the Book

Love like a Mother gently invites you to rediscover the God of the Bible as the one who gestates, births, nourishes, comforts, and protects—just like a mother.

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 the experiences of pregnancy, labor and birth; within the dynamics of fostering and adoption, infertility and loss; and through the unrelenting care in nourishing, protecting, and comforting, do mothers show us what God is like?

The book weaves together rich and encouraging scriptural insights with relatable stories from my own life as a mom and seeks to show how mothers uniquely bear the image of God in the sacred ordinary of everyday life—even in the middle of dishes, diapers, and sleepless nights.

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. Love like a Mother also serves as an inspiration to moms in all stages of life, perfect for gift-giving, Bible studies, book clubs, and group discussion.
