You are too exhausted to think, never mind pray, your home is a mess and you can't find your Bible ... 'Soul Food' will nourish you through your baby's first year, offering inspirational and practical ideas for applying God's word and incorporating prayer into your daily life. It won't make you feel guilty about the time or energy you simply don't have. With honesty and humour, the authors draw upon their own, and others', experiences of motherhood. The result is both delightful and unusual. Succinct, accessible, weekly biblical reflections. A lifeline for every mother with a new baby.

Anna Lacy-Brown

I borrowed a copy of this book from a friend when I was about to become a Mum for the first time. In amongst the ups, downs and general madness that caring for a baby brings, it helped to have a resource that was down-to-earth, could meet me where I was at, and at the same time encourage me to continue seeking God in this new season of life. I have recently bought two copies for friends living in different parts of the country, in the hope that it will bless them, as they navigate their way through motherhood for the first time.

Fab resource for Mums with small babies

Eden Customer

I've already bought two copies of this book for friends who've recently had babies! It's just what a new Mum needs - full of encouragement and real-life stories. It's also realistic - there's one devotional per week, with suggestions for how to take the theme further should you wish to. I'm taking it to the new Mums' group at church next week to show them, as am sure it will be an encouragement to many.

Fantastic gift for new Mums
