Although specifying "motherhood", this book holds treasures for fathers, and for non-parents, as well. It takes the reader on a journey through the "marvelous crises" of child rearing, showing how each crisis offers the discovery of a marvel of spiritual understanding, which heals the problems inherent in that human situation, and blesses both the parents and the child.

Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Linthorst, a seminary graduate and licensed marriage, family, and child counselor, presents motherhood as a marvelous discovery of identity and transformative potential within crisis--a spiritual journey for the parent. She devotes a chapter to each stage of mothering children, from infancy to young adulthood, with each stage centered around a crisis (e.g., personal identity) and a marvel (e.g., spiritual identity). Compassionate, wise, practical, and inspirational, this book encourages a "consciousness of Life as the wholeness of spiritual Good." Highly recommended for public and church libraries.

This review is from: Mothering as a Spiritual Journey: Learning to Let God Nurture Your Children and You Along with Them (Paperback)
I wish I had read this book while I was pregnant, I had it to read but was so involved in the pregnancy and keeping myself intune spiritually and prayfully that once I had my twins I completely loss focus (I guess overwhelmed). This book would have helped me to make that transition into Motherhood with much more ease on a spiritual level. I recommend for Mothers-to-be. Thanks to the author for allowing God to use you to help others.
