From My Blog...[return]Heart of My Heart: 365 Reflections on the Magnitude and Meaning of Motherhood by Kristin Armstrong is a beautifully written devotional written especially for mothers as they grow with their children as well as grow in their faith. The book is sized small enough to fit into a diaper bag, tote, or large purse. Each day's reflection begins with a brief Bible quote and then proceeds with a short devotional allowing the reader time to sit and reflect upon the message for the particular day. The ultimate goal of this particular devotional, to my understanding, is to grow as a mother and woman, to become the best person one can become for not only oneself, but for one's children. Each day is well laid out and the passages provided are thought provoking, motivational, and inspirational. While this book is targeted for mothers with younger children I still found the reading of the day to help me take some time for myself, to contemplate and extrapolate the passage to suit being a mother of teens. Heart of My Heart would make for a delightful baby shower gift or simply a nice gesture for a harried mother of young children.

This is a wonderful devotional for mothers. As a new Mom, it was very encouraging and convicting in many ways. I made it a full year of reading it daily and enjoyed every page. She was very honest and open and said what many women are going through on a daily basis. Her knowledge of scripture was excellent along with her examples. This would make a great gift, too.

I won this on a friend's blog as part of a giveaway from the Hachette Book Group. As this particular book is very Christian in tone I've decided to pass this on to a good friend who I think would enjoy it.

I bought this book when it first came out and go back to it from time to time. I've read almost all Kirstin's books, and this is by far my favorite.
