Publisher's summary

Sometimes moms see the never-ending laundry, dirty diapers, and skinned knees as relatively insignificant when compared to activities and callings that seem more important and lasting. But there is eternal value in even the most mundane moments if the great commission informs how we're thinking about all of life, including what it means to be a mom.

Tracing motherhood in the story of the Bible and drawing out key implications for moms today, Gloria Furman helps women live out God's story of redemption in their daily lives as they nurture their children and joyfully share the message of the Gospel with those around them.

Superb narration of gospel centered book

simple but deep thoughts to help all women stay gospel focused in the midst of life. I don't have any children here, just a miscarriage, but I got so much from these words and believe all women can.

A Great Over-Arching Idea Book

Gloria lays out the Gospel very plainly, and draws our attention from the hubbub and mess of our daily lives, to the purpose and overall goal (mission) we have as Christian mothers. It's a great listen, as Sarah Zimmerman is a fantastic narrator. The only drawback is that the book is very light on application and practical living. Would make a great group study tool where a leader could draw out questions/answers of application from the group.

Missional Motherhood speaks truth and hits home

I love that in this book Gloria Furman shows readers the relevancy of the Old Testament, which can sometimes feel less relatable than New Testament books. All of the Bible relates to Motherhood, as she demonstrates tm through giving a "big picture" perspective. Gloria speaks truth and reminds readers of God's design for motherhood while remaining relatable and understanding.

Very grateful that I downloaded this book, it has inspired me in so many ways to not only be a better mother to my own children; but how to also put my works into action in my community. Praise Yeshua for your obedience!! Shalom!!

Perspective

MISSIONAL MOTHERHOOD did a fantastic job of putting my role as 'mother' in perspective through the lens of scripture. This is a gospel-focused read that I recommend for all Christian women, from singles to grandmothers and everything between.

Identity in Christ

To find our identity in Christ is to find our identity to live in a Missional way and point our families and those around us to Christ and the cross.
To simply seek a “parenting self-help” book is to miss the point - so glad this book rightly focuses our roles as women in the shadow of the cross! Excellent book!
