This Life That Is Ours
Motherhood as Spiritual Practice
by Lauren Burdette
Becoming a Mother, Becoming Yourself, Becoming Holy
This Life That Is Ours offers 40 gentle meditations with guidance for reflection on the spiritual journey of motherhood. These practical, soul-affirming meditations nurture a mother’s heart and spiritual life in a season fraught with overwhelm, exhaustion, and loss of identity. Through the lens of Burdette’s real-life stories, the reader is invited to ponder her experience and to contemplate where God might be present.
This Life That Is Ours includes an introduction, a preparatory guide for the reflective journey, a closing spiritual practice, and a conclusion. This book can be used in communities of mom groups, intergenerational groups of women, or spouse groups and would make a great gift for new mothers and mothers-to-be.
