Growing Together : Meditations From A Mother Daughter Perspective

Growing Together: Meditations from a Mother/Daughter Perspective is a devotional book intended for use by women and families. The devotionals are on a variety of spiritual growth topics. Each of the sixty devotionals begins with a suggested Scripture reading. Most have a brief real life story or observation, followed by a spiritual application based on the Scripture reading. Some of the devotional topics are based specifically on traditional women’s topics such as motherhood, marriage, and housekeeping. Others center on family themes such as vacations, siblings, and growing up. The devotionals address childhood, the teen years, adulthood, and aging. They deal with a variety of ups and downs in life. Some are humorous and light-hearted while others are serious and sobering. All of the devotionals address the heart issues of one’s relationship with Christ. Because the devotionals were written by a mother/daughter team with a thirty-seven year age difference, the devotionals will offer a unique perspective. There is no “generation gap” between Jean and Lisa; their writing has both continuity and a loving unity. Yet because of the difference in their ages, they are able to observe the same situations from before, during, and after vantage points.
