Synopsis

Although specifying "motherhood", this book holds treasures for fathers, and for non-parents, as well. It takes the reader on a journey through the "marvelous crises" of child rearing, showing how each crisis offers the discovery of a marvel of spiritual understanding, which heals the problems inherent in that human situation, and blesses both the parents and the child.

About this title

About the Author:

Ann Tremaine Linthorst has been in private practice as a Marriage and Family Therapist and spiritual guide for 35 years. She is the mother of two grown sons and lives with her husband in Southern California.

From Library Journal:

Linthorst, a seminary graduate and licensed marriage, family, and child counselor, presents motherhood as a marvelous discovery of identity and transformative potential within crisis--a spiritual journey for the parent. She devotes a chapter to each stage of mothering children, from infancy to young adulthood, with each stage centered around a crisis (e.g., personal identity) and a marvel (e.g., spiritual identity). Compassionate, wise, practical, and inspirational, this book encourages a "consciousness of Life as the wholeness of spiritual Good." Highly recommended for public and church libraries.
