Tracing motherhood in the story of the Bible and drawing out key implications for moms today, Gloria Furman helps women live out God's story.

This always puzzled me. Some Christian families of religions, such as Catholicism, revere (not worship) her, while other Christians families go as far as to shun her and reject any role that she might have played in the redemptive process.

Most people who talk about motherhood start out by telling you how much they always wanted to be a mom. Not Lisa-Jo Baker. She was 18 and growing up in South Africa when her mom died, and she swore she would never have kids.

From the beginning, we always wanted a family. We also knew we wanted to adopt. Life took us on a pretty crazy adventure to get from point A to point B. My story features infertility, adoption, and the many elements in-between.
