Heart of My Heart: 365 Reflections on the Magnitude and Meaning of Motherhood

What is the true meaning of motherhood? This is the question Kristin Armstrong seeks to explore in //Heart of My Heart.// There is a devotional for every day of the year, each inspired by a quotation from biblical scriptures. Armstrong, a single mother with three young children, aspires not to be a picture-perfect mom but one that her children will learn from and look up to. In these short essays, she discusses concepts like patience, grief, and listening, as well as more mundane topics like storms, personal vices, and materialism, all with an aura of spirituality. Armstrong's personal sense of faith shines radiantly; like-minded readers will take much away from these readings and reflections, and they might even find the courage to seek their own truths.
