The public perception of motherhood has changed. Never before have children and, by extension, mothers been regarded with such disdain. But this doesn't change the inherent worth and godliness of motherhood-the means by which God, in his abundant kindness, perpetually blesses the earth with life crafted in his image. The role and relationship of mothers is fundamental to the story of God and all of humanity and are thus worth our consideration. Motherhood and The Good Life explores the modern cultural narratives around motherhood and contrasts them with foundational, biblical truths about what it means to belong to God and participate in his kingdom as mothers. The thoughts and discussions presented in this book are meant to challenge subconsciously held ideas about the definition of the good life and replace them with gospel truths as we follow Christ on the blessed road of discipleship through mothering.
