What a lovely devotional for moms. I will definitely reread this again.

This devotional-style book by Elisa Morgan got me through my first years of motherhood. I would read a chapter at a time during the time when I weaned my daughter, as I put her down for her nap. This book gave me a newfound insight into God's care and provision for mothers and the format was great for my limited amount of reading time. The questions at the end of each devotion were great to think on and provided me with inspiration to get through the tough days. I would suggest this book to any mother as a must-read.
