The book, the devotional I told you about last year that I wrote 14 pieces for, is available April 1, but you can click the link and pre-order it now through Amazon. I think the book is great not just because I’m one of the writers but because mothers need mothers, especially the new ones do to help them calm crying babies, soothe gassy stomachs, develop routines, maintain relationships, learn to breathe, and a ton of other stuff that only another mother could help with. This 365 day devotional with scriptures and prayers helps new moms negotiate a variety of issues they deal with as they adjust to life with a baby. Friends and family are irreplaceable, but Motherhood is like having 20 mothers serving new moms the real deal right in their own home. This is an invaluable tool that I think new moms would love to have.
The pieces are never preachy but point out how we learned and grew spiritually in our first year of motherhood. If you’re a new mom, get this book. If you know new moms, recommend or buy this book for them. I’m confident that you will be pleased.

Kudos to Guideposts for adding Rhonda J. Smith’s voice to the mix on motherhood. She’s a writer with keen insight, compassion but a truth teller’s soul, bringing light to both highs and the lows of the hard work that is motherhood. Can’t wait to have my copy in my hand, autographed of course.
Awww, thanks Nik. So glad to know that you didn’t just write such beautiful words about my writing because we’re best friends but you indeed tell the truth, even when it hurts. As always, I appreciate your support and of course you’ll get a signed copy.
