For contemporary moms, parenting today has challenges that sometimes feel unfathomable. But it turns out that successful moms dont need to master the latest parenting trends, because the best parenting advice has already been written-its in the Bible. Now Katara Washington Patton provides an accessible gateway to that biblical advice corroborated by best practices from respected authorities. Wondering how to help your kid whos being bullied on social media? Patton shares Jochebeds story (Moses mom) with insights that illustrate what moms have to do to protect kids. How do you use the village to help raise children? Sarah knew. And her Biblical wisdom is applied to parenting today. Patton shows how Mary, Elizabeth, Ruth and others lead the way to successful 21st century mothering, and she shares digestible lessons busy moms can use in their own homes.

This book is dedicated to the absolute best mom a girl could haveErnestine C. Washington (19422006). Mom, you may not be here with me physically, but everything I do, say, think, write as a woman of faith and as a mother has been influenced by your amazing example. Im forever grateful for the mom you were to me, Kenneth, and Kim. You and Daddy gave us your all. Thank you.
When I was growing up, my mom often said everything I needed to know about life was in the Bible. She called the Bible a manual for living. Because I observed her faith and life up close and personal, I know she believed this statement and lived her life always looking for Gods answer in the Bible. But when I grew up, got married, and had a child of my own, one of the first things I heard was that kids didnt come with a handbook. While there was plenty of information on pregnancy, what to expect at each stage of child development, and a boatload of books on raising kids, there was still a sense of adventure and fear of the unknown among my mommy friends. We gathered together often to talk about the latest developments and wondered what to do nextoften googling a phrase just to see what would come up (after all, that was how I had handled every symptom I had had during pregnancy).
Then I got to thinking: what if the Bible has the answers? I took my moms advice and opened up the pages of the Bible in search of answers on being a successful mom, teaching my child about life, handling bullies, balancing this mommyhood thing, and so much more. I reread some of the stories of moms of the Bibleand Im happy to report that my mom was absolutely right. We have lots to learn from the pages of scriptures and what they say about moms of the Bible.
If we open our eyes and hearts, we can hear the moms of the Bible teaching us invaluable lessons about raising our kids. Some things have changedthank Godbut for the most part, wejust like the women of antiquity in the Bibleall want the best for our children and take this special task of mommyhood seriously.
I hope you will journey with me as I retell the stories of some of my favoriteand successfulmoms of the Bible and gather real, motherly advice on raising children. Whether you are expecting or nursing a baby or caring for a toddler, tween, or teenager, these women have something to share to encourage you on this journey. Or perhaps youve successfully raised or mentored children who are now adults; I bet you can still relate to these women and the challenges they faced and overcame.
Motherhood is not for the weak. It takes guts to raise children well and still keep ourselves intact. We need more than a firm hand and a special, authoritative look; we need wisdom and help. God has placed all we need inside of our manualthe Bibleand as we unpack the messages shared from the moms in the Bible, we will garner the support we need. Take a seat and soak in the stories of our foremothers so you can gain new strength for the motherhood journey.
God has called us to this special taskand has left us with special help and messages. Lets acquire some motherly wisdom.
Motherhood changes you, there is no doubt about it. From the first moment you suspect you might be carrying a child, to the moment you see the ultrasound picture that resembles a strange, alien-looking being, to the moment of the birth, and for every single moment thereafter, a womans life is changed when she becomes a mother. And even when a woman becomes a mom through adoption or via the village concept, she too is forever changed. Motherhood, somehow, opens your heart in a way I cant explain. Its as if caring for another expands your capacity for love and somehow makes you caretaker of all, if only in your soul. And this larger, more open heart exposes you to all sorts of concerns, worry, and scenarios you never would have thought of in a million years. Yes, motherhood changes you.
Somehow, within an instant, we go from frolicking carefree through life to worrying about everything. Did I buckle the seat belt? Is the car seat even installed correctly? Is she still breathing? you ask as you tiptoe into the room. You know the silent monitor is probably workingbut you really need to see your childs stomach rise up and down to confirm that your precious one is still alive. You dont want to wake him upno mom ever wants to wake a sleeping child. (After all, naps have got to be special gifts from God, a little message reminding us that our Lord is indeed merciful!) As the precious child grows to a not-so-precious teen, you still worryperhaps even more. Is she texting while drivingor tuning the radio or talking to her friendsinstead of watching the road? What if his friends offer him drugs? Or what if the bully? Moms worry!
