Love Like a Mother: How the Sacred Work of Motherhood Reveals the Maternal Heart of God

Discover the God Who Mothers

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

Weaving together rich and encouraging scriptural insights with relatable stories from her own life as a mom, Berget shows 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.

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 and group discussion.
