Idols of a Mother’s Heart

This book will not only make you a better mother, it will make you a better worshipper. I heartily commend Christina’s book to Christian mothers everywhere.

-- David Murray (Senior Pastor, First Byron CRC, Byron Center, Michigan and author of ‘The StoryChanger’ and ‘Jesus on Every Page’)

Christina Fox’s heart is on every page as she longs for moms to have a right view of how God sees them. With the gentle nudge of a friend, Christina encourages women to enter into mothering from the only safe place—rest and fullness in Christ.

-- Holly Mackle (Author of ‘Same Here, Sisterfriend: Mostly True Tales of Misadventure in Motherhood’ and ‘Little Hearts, Prepare Him Room’)

… a wealth of wisdom and theological understanding. She exposes the idols we often battle in motherhood—control, comfort, achievement, and approval—and helps diagnose the problem in our own hearts. Most importantly, Christina points to the grace of God by encouraging mothers to turn from idolatry and find life in Christ alone.

-- Melissa B. Kruger (author and director of Women’s Initiatives for The Gospel Coalition)

Idolatry can be subtle or flagrant but either way what we need is heart surgery. Idols of a Mother’s Heart brings the gentle scalpel of the gospel to the divided hearts of women. Every page is Scripture saturated and theologically robust.

-- Karen Hodge (PCA Coordinator of Women’s Ministry; Author of Transformed: Life–taker to Life–giver)

This book is a great resource for mothers who are eager to fulfill their calling to the glorify and enjoy God.

-- Dr. Stephen Estock (Coordinator, PCA Discipleship Ministries)

With gentle precision, Fox exposes the lesser gods that take up residence in our hearts. And, with wisdom born of personal experience, she helps readers tear them down—so that Christ might have his rightful place. Mothers, if you want to learn to hate sin and love Christ, this book is for you.

-- Megan Hill (Author of ‘Contentment’ and ‘Praying Together’; Editor, The Gospel Coalition & mother of four (by birth and adoption))

With penetrating questions, humble honesty, and gospel freedom on every page, this book will not only stretch and challenge a mother, but point her to the joy and satisfaction found in her Savior alone.
