In an amazing new book, Running into Water, Angela Blycker delves into the soul of being a Christian mom and woman while thinking globally and how to leave a missional legacy with your children.
Award winning recording artist Nichole Nordeman had alot to say about this book, here is what she said:
"If you are a young mother like me, you will probably admit to standing occasionally in a bookstore, drawn by exhaustion and sheer habit to the “Christian Inspirational Writing” section, with no real direction. You are fragmented and wilting from apathy, desperately scanning the shelves for ANYTHING that speaks to you. You stare through a fog of depletion into the great abyss of titles that promise to speak to women’s needs. Many of them seem to be shiny and pink and full of anecdotal Jesus-y ways, to help you be the mother you were meant to be with a more organized pantry and a scrapbook that screams Proverbs 31. Another pinkish book has extremely helpful suggestions on staying whimsical and sexy for that guy it seems you married. For reasons that only millions of other women understand, in your strained delirium, you frantically pluck it from the shelf. It glitters.
Welcom
e to my nest.
It is hard to grasp how marginalized and condescending most writing for Christian women is until you stumble disbelievingly onto something that is so profoundly . . . not. This book left me breathless. Stung at first by its many truths, the way an ocean’s wave slaps you sideways before it retreats into gentle waters beckoning reluctant toes into the deep. And deeper has never meant easier. Don’t waste your money on this if your soul needs more chicken soup."
