After all, God created birth, babies, and families. He knows exactly what they demand from us. And more than that, he entered this world as a baby himself! He entered a woman\u2019s womb and was born. Isn\u2019t it entirely possible that in these days of creation, nurture, service, sacrifice, and perseverance we are acting out powerful spiritual practices in our daily lives?<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.navpress.com\/sites\/thedisciplemaker\/the-service-of-jesus-and-mothers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong><em>Read The Resilient Service of Jesus and Mothers<\/em><\/strong><\/a><br \/>\nIt was in seeking out the answer to this question that <em>Long Days of Small Things: Motherhood as a Spiritual Discipline<\/em> was born. I am a seeker who writes to open eyes to the creative and redemptive work of God in each moment.

Then came a long but joyful gestation period of writing, rewriting, and editing. And then the labor of launching and delivering this book into your hands.<br \/>\nIn honor of the book release we&#8217;ve put together a lovely collection of gifts. I\u2019m so incredibly excited about it \u2014 I only wish I could win it myself!<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.navpress.com\/sites\/thedisciplemaker\/jesus-from-a-mothers-perspective\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong><em>Read Jesus from a Mother&#8217;s Perspective<\/em><\/strong><\/a><br \/>\nSo here we go \u2014 away from the quiet hours of choosing words and crafting sentences, and into this new (and much louder) season of sharing it with you all. Launching a book has been unlike anything I\u2019ve ever experienced. I\u2019m grateful and nervous. I\u2019m excited and exhausted. It feels unbelievable and long overdue.<br \/>\nI would be honored if you would check out<em> Long Days of Small Things<\/em>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/catherinemcniel.com\/blog\/book-birth-day-and-a-contest\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ENTER THE GIVEAWAY<\/a>.
