When you have 3 minutes to spend with God

This book contains great 3 minute prayers to help you focus on the Giver of all good gifts, as you raise your little one. The prayers begin the day you bring your baby home from the hospital and go through many of the things you face in the first few months with a newborn. It's a wonderful book to use when you want to spend time with the Lord but have little energy left after sleepless nights and daily duties.

This book lifted my heart when I needed it most

I am a first time mom to a beautiful baby boy. I was given this book as a shower gift and didn't start reading it until I and my baby came home from the hospital. Every page I read was like a breath of fresh air. It was like Mrs. Guffey was inside my head, my heart, and my home. I found so much encouragement and support in her testimony. I felt the way she felt some days. I acted the way she acted on others. This book lifted my heart when I needed it most. I highly reccomend it to be given as a gift. It will be appreciated by anyone who knows how very hard and completely wonderful motherhood is. It will remind you that you have a friend in the lonliest and most joyful times.

Beatifully touching

Yet again, Angela Thomas Guffey has touched reader's hearts with her beautiful and eloquent prayers. She knows how to put to words so many of the emotions that one experiences as a Christian mother. With everything, she goes to God in prayer. It is such a comfort to know that He is with you every step of the way.

Not just for new mothers

Angela Guffey, in her new book, Prayers for New Mothers, will touch the hearts of mothers of all ages and stages of life. She has captured the emotions and memories of motherhood. Some prayers took me back to a memory of my child at that age or stage, and I felt so blessed and thankful to have that memory restored with such clarity. Other prayers were specific to needs and situations that I am dealing with now. These prayers encouraged me to press on and to continue on my journey to become the mother that God wants me to be. Many of these prayers also touched deeper personal emotions that I thought no one else would understand. The prayer was a reminder that God knows our every thought and feeling and desires to comfort us. Joy also came from the eloquent expression of these emotions from such an experienced mom.
