Confessions for the Narrow Road: A Journey With My Mom - Paperback

Confessions for the Narrow Road: A Journey with My Mom is a devotional for daughters and their mothers. Almost fifty years ago, my mom began a sacred practice of seeking God for a scripture to guide her year. I was intrigued by her practice as she shared the quilt with me where she stitched the references for each year that she received a scripture from God to be her focus for the year. As part of my own spiritual journey, I decided to take most of 2022 to sit with these scriptures and write reflections based on these scriptures, as well as confessions which were my takeaways from the reflections.

As I shared these reflections and confessions with my mom, she added something even more special to my process and shared with me what she learned from each of the scriptures she received from God. I have included her thoughts within the pages of this devotional. They are nuggets that anyone can take and use in their own journey. This devotional is unique in many ways not only because of the connection between mother and daughter and the lessons shared but also because of the beautiful nature photography displayed throughout the book. I took a very important trip with my mom in the fall of 2022 through the New England states to capture the fall foliage and the beauty of nature in each state. The photography is the backdrop for the confessions.

Finally, the book has study guide questions at the end of each reflection to help the reader process the confessions further and make personal applications. You will be hard-pressed to find a devotional with so much richness that is both meaningful and inspiring. It will leave you thinking about the legacy you want to leave for your own children. More than that, it will jump-start the readers own relationship with God and how they seek Him for guidance.
