Book Description
Many moms struggle with finding time to spend with God - is it even possible, between diaper changes, carpools, meals and messes? It is possible, if only moms could connect with their Creator and vacuum cereal out of the carseat at the same time. Megan Breedlove, a stay-at-home mom of four energetic little ones, is convinced it can be done . . . and Manna for Moms is a daily devotional that shows moms how. One of the main ways God speaks to His children is through His calling on their lives. That means that moms - who have a high and holy calling, indeed - can hear God's voice and respond to Him even as they carry out the daily tasks of mothering their children. Each devotion included in Manna for Moms is encouragement and inspiration to face every hectic day with an open heart, expecting God to reveal Himself in the midst of whatever chaos arises! There are also tips and suggestions for readers to stay alert for God's teaching in their interactions with their children. Instead of struggling to find time with God, moms can invite Him into every precious moment.

Category : Mothers
Languages : en
Pages : 239
Book Description
Though it remains true that a majority of mothers of small children are employed outside the home, since the late 1990s there has been a decline in their actual rate of participation in the labor force. What explains this decline? Are opt-out rates and work-hour reductions consistent across occupations? Do race, ethnicity, or age of children play a role? Addressing these questions in a wide-ranging study, Liana Christin Landivar sheds important new light on the motherhood-employment link. Liana Christin Landivar is a sociologist and senior statistician in the Industry and Occupation Statistics Branch at the US Census Bureau.

Forgotten Desert Mothers, The
Author: Swan, Laura
Publisher: Paulist Press
ISBN: 1587689936
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
In The Forgotten Desert Mothers, Laura Swan introduces readers to the sayings, lives, stories, and spirituality of women in the early Christian desert and monastic movement, from the third century on. In doing so, she finally sets the record straight that women played an important and influential role in early Christianity, indeed a role that has been long overshadowed by men. She begins with an exploration of the historical context and spirituality of the desert ascetics. Then she weaves together the sayings of the major desert ammas, or mothers, along with commentary that invites readers to reflect on their own spiritual journey as they share their wisdom. The book then journeys between desert, monastery and city to reveal the stories of ascetics and solitaries whose stories are rarely heard, organized in the author's own alphabetical collection. The Forgotten Desert Mothers demonstrates, like no other work, that women have long had a history of leadership in Christianity. This engaging, eye-opening, and insightful work targets all faith seekers looking to reclaim the history and spirituality of the women who came before them, as well as to understand their own inner journey. It will be a welcome addition to courses on early church history, women's studies, and religious studies.
