God Is Still Good: Gospel Hope and Comfort for the Unexpected Sorrows of Motherhood

Where Do You Turn When Motherhood Isn't What You Expected?

Each mother's story is unique. While motherhood brings joy and love, it can also bring pain and heartache. It's often different than expected and it can be hard to know where to turn when difficulty and loneliness rise up. God Is Still Good: Gospel Hope and Comfort for the Unexpected Sorrows of Motherhood invites women to experience God's comfort and leads moms to put their hope in Christ, despite the unexpected trials of raising children.
