The Contemplative Mom: Restoring Rich Relationship with God in the Midst of Motherhood [Revised Edition]

Are the demands of motherhood keeping you from a rich relationship with God? Given the inherent busyness of being a parent, the concept of a "contemplative mom" makes many people laugh. Is that even possible? Author Ann Kroeker assures readers that yes, it is possible...and needed. When Kroeker's husband almost died, she realized that her life had gotten out of control. In this book she passes on to others what she learned in the process of getting her life back in perspective. She discusses some ways moms can live a life filled with reflective moments even in chaos, including finding solitude, walking with God, making use of some of the traditional spiritual disciplines, using the senses, and listening to God. With ideas from a variety of mothers in all seasons of life, this book offers creative, practical, and enjoyable suggestions to help you walk closely with God through the wonderful and challenging chaos of raising a family.
