About the book
A Bible study about the mothers of the Bible
Real Mothers introduces eight biblical mothers, across generations, who faced complicated family relationships and everyday struggles — and learned to trust God when life did not make sense.
Each chapter is divided into five short sections, written around the time a mother actually has, with practical biblical encouragement for parenting.
Real Mothers was named the 2011 Christian Small Publisher Book of the Year in the Bible Study and Theology category.
“Jealousy, adultery, out-of-wedlock pregnancy, and murder — the list reads like contemporary tabloid headlines.”
