Publisher's summary

Women are often told by their communities that being a mother will complete or define them. But many women find themselves depleted and spiritually stagnant amid the everyday demands of being a mom. They long to experience a rich inner life but feel there is rarely enough time, energy, or stillness to connect with God in a meaningful way.

This book takes the concept of rewilding and applies it to motherhood. Just as an environmentalist seeks to rewild land by returning it to its natural state, Shannon Evans invites women to rewild motherhood by reclaiming its essence through an expansive feminine spirituality.

Drawn from the contemplative Catholic tradition and Evans's own parenting experience, Rewilding Motherhood helps women deepen their connection to God through practices inherent to the life they're living now. Topics include work-life balance, identity, solitude, patience, household work, and mission for the common good. Throughout, Evans encourages women to see motherhood as an opportunity to discover a vibrant feminine spirituality and a deeper knowledge of God and self.

Spicy

I usually don't go for these type of books but I decided to give it a go. This is one of those books that you either love or hate. I say this because while there were things in this book that I couldn't relate to, there were other things that I felt have needed to be said for a long time. I appreciated the variety of bases that each new chapter touched on. This is one of those books that I highly recommend to go in with an open mind on, take what speaks to you, and leave the rest for someone else.

Best book on motherhood

This book is phenomenal for any mother, especially those in the busy season of younger children. It challenges us to think about deeper issues of our time and place as mothers and as people. It is woven throughout with spiritual insights that would allow any person room to imagine and yearn for a relationship with Truth!! I couldn’t recommend it more!

Not your typical motherhood book!

Shannon Evans dives into the fullness of the multiple dimensions of motherhood. Exploring both the common and the sublime of the feminine experience, she took me on an inner journey while sharing her own. And somehow it seems only the beginning.

Not my cup of tea

I was hoping for a book on mothering from a Catholic perspective, as the author is a Catholic convert. What this book turned out to be is a compilation of theology from multiple world religions, leaving me frustrated, more confused, and less positive about embracing motherhood with little time for self-care. Of course, mothers need time to themselves, but pushing away parental duties onto someone else in order to find ourselves is not something many of us can or want to do on a daily or weekly basis.
