Based on Brother Lawrence's classic Practice of the Presence of God,
this book is geared for real-time moms whose lives are full of dirty
diapers and soccer practice. Don't have luxurious hours of quiet time
like a 17th century monk? You are not missing out. The gospel awakens us
to the very real presence of Christ in our everyday, seemingly
"mundane" state of affairs. Full of practical, down-to-earth, real-life
examples and wisdom from a mother of four, Lily draws readers to the
simple awareness of God's presence in the day-to-day role of parenting.
Experience fulfillment of a Holy Spirit saturated life in the midst of
doing laundry! Realizing the grace of the gospel and our effortless
union with Christ enables mothers to enjoy and rest secure in their
spirituality. Religion-free parenting. Letting go of guilt and shame.
It's all found in the finished work of the cross.
Lily Crowder gives mothers a whole new meaning of being a stay at home mom. Gone is the stereotype from the world, and in comes the warmth and love that God wants us to feel as mothers. We are reminded that children are a gift from God and that we should cherish them.
Lily Crowder has a great writing style, and any mother or soon to be mother will enjoy reading this book.
