Women are often told by their communities that being a mother will
complete or define them. But many mothers find themselves depleted
and spiritually stagnant amid the everyday demands of being a mom.
They long to experience a rich inner life but feel there is rarely
enough time, energy, or stillness to connect with God in a
meaningful way. This book takes the concept of rewilding and
applies it to motherhood. Just as an environmentalist seeks to
rewild land by returning it to its natural state, Shannon Evans
invites women to rewild motherhood by reclaiming its essence
through an expansive feminine spirituality. Drawn from the
contemplative Catholic tradition and Evans's own parenting
experience, Rewilding Motherhood helps women deepen their
connection to God through practices inherent to the life they're
living now. Topics include work-life balance, identity, solitude,
patience, household work, and mission for the common good.
Throughout, Evans encourages women to see motherhood as an
opportunity to discover a vibrant feminine spirituality and a
deeper knowledge of God and self.
Spiritual language is often male-focused, overlooking the uniquely
female experience. Author Shannon K. Evans believes our daughters
deserve better. Evans wrote Feminist Prayers for My Daughter as a
gift to mothers and women everywhere. It offers short prayers that
affirm the unique challenges and embrace the natural abilities
embodied by our daughters, young and old alike. Categories of
prayers include embodiment, relationships, wholeness, justice,
equality, and milestones. This book encompasses all of life from
birth to death while imagining God in ways that resonate with the
feminine experience. For mothers, grandmothers, mentors, and
beyond, this prayer book provides a poignant and powerful path to
both encounter God personally and seek the well-being of the
daughters in our lives. It gives words to a mother's desires for
her daughter in the modern world and breathes hope for a church
that will give her equal power.
