Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Moms will need a box of tissues close at hand for this a book of "true stories and encouragement" from Christian luminaries such as Beth Moore, Barbara Johnson, Stormie Omartian, Max Lucado and Gloria Gaither. Some of the stories Holmes (The Heart of a Father) includes are heavy on the syrup, others (Lucado) are deeply theological and still others (Johnson, Chonda Pierce) are comical. All are short and accessible, drawing on stories and personal experiences.

Product Description

"She’s always been there, doing the things mothers do…. Isn’t that just like God?" Each story in this collection reveals a mother’s heart as she loves, prays for, teaches, comforts, and strengthens her children. As these true stories bring smiles, nods of recognition, and even some tears, they bring us into a deeper intimacy with our heavenly Father. For "If you…know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your Father who is in heaven give what is good to those who ask Him!" (Matthew 7:11 NASB).

These sixty short stories are written for moms as well as the grown-up kids who love them, and they will be read again and again, savored, and shared. The collection, including stories from many of your favorite authors—Sheila Walsh, Stormie Omartian, Beth Moore, and Barbara Johnson—is perfect for devotional reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Heart of Mother: Handle with love, March 18, 2006
Every mother knows the diverse experiences, thoughts, and feelings that make being a "mother" both a blessing and a challenge. The Heart of a Mother is a collection of short stories by 60 authors- some well known and some not so known-that offers hope, help, support, and appreciation for mothers facing everyday lives with God as their anchor. This book is a must for anyone who is a mother or who has filled that role for someone they loved. Reading this book over and over again will delight and strengthen mothers, and those who love them, for years to come.

4.0 out of 5 stars Get your dose of encouragement, February 2, 2006
The heart of a mother is for her husband, her children, her family, and her community. Nowhere is this more apparent than in Wayne Holmes' recent compilation book, "The Heart of a Mother". Included are stories of encouragement and inspiration from well-known authors and first timers, from mothers and fathers, aunts and uncles, and others who have seen the hand of God at work through children of all ages.

Whether you are looking for a book to honor a mother mentor in your life, or a book to encourage you in your daily walk of motherhood, or a book to remind you that the next generation is going to turn out all right, this is the book for you.
