Book excerpt: Every mom has her issues, all the way back to Eve—but you can be a great mother with the help of God’s life-giving power . . . Pastor and radio host Sue Detweiler admits that she has moments where her own unresolved issues come to the surface. In this book, she reminds other mothers they’re not alone on their journey—and that even in those moments when we feel our own human imperfections, we can embody the fruit of the Holy Spirit in our homes and our lives. In this book, Detweiler shares stories from her own life as a parent—and how she’s learned to replace her anger with God’s love; replace her anxiety with God’s peace; replace her frustration with God’s patience, and more. “9 Traits of a Life-Giving Mom will help you become a better mom and leave a legacy for your children for generations to come.” —Linda Barrick, author of Miracle for Jen
