Publisher Description
God’s love, plans, and promises for you are forever unfolding.
I get it, Momma. I totally get it.
Every day you wake up and try your very best. You love, give, and pour out your life for the ones who call you Momma. But no matter how much you offer, there are still days you feel as though you come up short. You worry, Am I loving these babies enough? Is this ever going to get easier? Why does it seem like I am the only one who cannot balance it all?
Sometimes, we just need hope (and maybe a long uninterrupted nap).
We need someone to help tune our hearts to the voice of the Father and to remind us that He has not forgotten about us.
In Hope Unfolding, Becky Thompson is a friend who reminds you that you aren’t alone, and that God is still writing your story. She guides you to encounter the Truth of God’s presence that not only fuels you with strength, but also a fresh confidence. And beyond gaining faith that tomorrow could be different, you find hope and purpose where you are standing today.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Modern life can be a challenge for mothers trying to raise righteous children in a world they view as hostile to Christian values. Popular blogger Thompson offers modern Christian moms assurances that it is possible to survive, and even thrive, with the Bible as a guide for living. She insists that a godly woman doesn't just understand the presence of God in her life, but must experience and live out that presence every day: "No matter how overlooked or forgotten you believe you are, what you are doing in this season in your life has significance." Thompson surveys her own experiences and demonstrates how her realization of God's presence in her life guided and informed her journey, leading her believe it's never been a better time to raise a Christian family. Remembering the meeting between the Samaritan woman and Jesus, she writes: " knew she wasn't just in need of water to drink. She was in need of fuel for her soul." It's this inspiration that Thompson draws on to support Christian mothers, providing a wealth of fuel for women looking for guidance and direction.
Customer Reviews
A Must Read for ALL Moms!
I've always enjoyed Becky's blog posts and have been following her since January 2014. When I first heard that she was writing a book, I knew instantly that I HAD to read it. Imagine my delight when I was presented with the opportunity to receive an advanced reading copy, ahead of the official release date of March 15, 2016.
I breezed through the book with ease--it was a wonderful read that I eagerly devoured.
Becky's writing style is very personal; it's like you're sitting down to coffee and having a meaningful conversation with an old friend who's sharing her heart. Becky is honest and down to earth; she always expresses her emotions and experiences authentically.
I felt like I could relate to much of what she had to say, often underlining passages and writing "YES!" in the book margins. I've recently been through some life changes, things look different from how I had anticipated they would be, but Becky's words reminded me that I am right where I'm supposed to be.
If you need hope today, if you're looking for affirmation that there is a plan for your life, if you're struggling with fear and doubt, I would encourage you to sit down with this book and listen to (read) what God's placed on Becky's heart.
"That is the powerful thing about hope, friend, even if you only have a little, you have more than enough, because it can't help but grow." -Becky Thompson, Hope Unfolding
