“It has only been hours since his birth,” recalls Bonnie Taylor, “but I know those unforgettable moments of our first encounter will remain in my heart forever.” With the birth of her son, Christopher, Bonnie discovered that God had opened up a whole new dimension in her life—a life filled with joy, frustrations, and a deep awareness of dependency on the Lord for guidance.

In these refreshing devotions she speaks frankly about her first few months of motherhood. Bonnie remembers the wonder of Christopher’s first smile, the physical drain of those 2 A.M. feedings, and the yearning for quiet moments alone. Living on an emotional roller coaster and caught between the needs of husband and son, this new mother experiences the restoring power of the Holy Spirit as she looks to God for strength. For all parents who hold the future of tiny lives in their hands, Bonnie Taylor offers this prayer: “Show us how to help them mature into men and women of God.”
