Whether you are a stay-at-home Mom with
toddlers, a working mother, or anyone in a stressful life situation,
this book can bring God closer and open you to ways the gospel can
help you in your situation.
It's hard to think of many situations
that are more stressful than being a pastor's wife with three small
children, a husband with health problems, and living in the Mideast
where Christians are regularly killed for their faith. Gloria knows
what she's writing about. In one of the early chapters she laments
that she doesn't have time for devotions, but then realizes it's not
the time you have to read the Bible and meditate on Jesus' words, but
how you integrate God and Christ into your everyday life no matter
how busy you are and whether that business is washing diapers,
supporting your husband, or leading a worship group.
This is a very readable book. the
examples come from real life experiences and as such draw you into an
understanding of how to let the gospel into your everyday life. Her
experiences are so much the same ones we all deal with: sibling
rivalry, friends, ailing relatives, it's a long list. I highly
recommend this book for anyone dealing with stressful situations,
particularly homemakers. It will make you feel you're not alone. God
and Christ are there to help you.
I reviewed this book for Crossway
Publishing.
