Speaking from her 20 years as a mother, Ann Tremaine Linthorst contends that the crises, challenges, and changes that come with parenthood are all occasions for spiritual discovery and growth. She suggests ways to see this process in action during the different stages of development in children from infancy through young adulthood. Along the way, Linthorst provides meditation exercises and resource suggestions. Essential to a mother's spiritual journey are self-esteem, love, patience, and attentiveness to God.
