Mothering Life: 40 Devotions for Postpartum Motherhood

by Meredith Storrs

The Mothering Life Devotional, by Meredith Storrs, is for mothers in the thick of the beautiful, tiring, and wonderful days of postpartum motherhood. These 40 devotions are stories that allow you a moment to reflect on the unique season you are in and provide an opportunity to be drawn into worship in new ways. Stories that teach you the richness of knowing the good Father who cares for us like the best of mothers. This 40-day devotional invites you to draw near to God and document all the thoughts and feelings that you process in that season of sleep deprivation, healing, and the learning curve that is motherhood. These short but substantive meditations are designed to meet you in the unique challenges of the postpartum season providing an opportunity to steal away, if only for 5 minutes, and take a moment to ground yourself in God’s word. This devotional is presented in clean and simple 2 page spreads that include scripture, a short lesson and a personal story relating to the verses, as well as space for note-taking and journaling. Each day ends in a section of reflection and praise. Mothering Life

This book was the perfect companion for the days, weeks and months following my son’s birth. I loved the scriptures and stories that followed alongside my own recovery - both physically, mentally and spiritually. The passages reminded me of my purpose as a mother - the calling God has so gently placed on my life…one I hold with trembling hands. This devotional would make a wonderful gift for any new mother.

👍🏻: Enjoyed the ways it talked about the postpartum experience & mothering in relation to God.
👎🏻: The metaphors were way too much for me a lot of the time—feeling like a stretch & often really odd.
