Title and Author: Risen Motherhood by Emily Jensen and Laura Wifler
Length: 221 Pages
Overview: This is the most important book on parenting I've ever read. If you're looking for a book with strategies and checklists of how to discipline or how to get your kids to listen to you, this isn't it. It's so much more than that. Risen Motherhood is all about how the hope of the gospel should inform how we view and approach every part of motherhood.
When motherhood is hard or heavy or mundane, we need the hope of the gospel to sustain us as we raise our children. True joy in motherhood can only be found through the work of Jesus Christ. In this book, Laura and Emily take a look at 14 different areas of Motherhood and walk the reader through how to apply the gospel to it.
Read this Book if: you're a mother. Period. I think all moms with kids at home should read this book. It will encourage and challenge you to keep an eternal perspective as you parent.
Favorite Quote: "It might be mundane to fold laundry, but it's extraordinary to do it patiently with joy and a heart of love. It might be mundane to sit on the couch and read another book to a whiny four-year-old, but it's extraordinary to show kindness
and mercy to an undeserving sinner. It might be mundane to fill the fridge with groceries, but it's extraordinary to praise God for his provision. Our everyday moments might be ordinary, but when we accomplish them while displaying the fruit of the Spirit, they reflect our extraordinary Savior."
