This book is the perfect read for the new or experienced mother. It offers 52 weeks of deep thoughts for the mother. I love that the book encourages you to delve deep into the many different aspects of motherhood. It is helpful that the each 'week' of the book is a few pages long making it easy to read for even the tired or the overwhelmed mama. each chapter is short enough to not be overwhelming while still full of mother encouragements and themes for mindful mothering that will make a lasting impact on the reader. if you are a mother you want to read this book!4 of 4 people found the following review helpful.

Perfect gift for a new mother at her showerBy Kate RSSacred Motherhood is the book I wish I had this book right after my daughter was born. From the beginning, Sacred Motherhood guides the reader through short weekly readings, provides guided journaling activities, and reminds mothers to tap into their inner knowledge- that innate wisdom we all carry within us- and trust in what we know.Sacred Motherhood carries the reader on a weekly exploration through the seasons, both calendar and of our journey as mothers in a unique and uplifting way. I would recommend this book to any new or seasoned mother, as a way of self-guided spiritual practice and self-affirmation of a mother's instinct. I would buy this for any expecting mother who is looking for a spiritual path to coincide with her journey.
