Pilgrim Prayers for Single Mothers

Michele Howe offers heartfelt concern for single moms in Pilgrim Prayers for Single Mothers, a brief devotional from Pilgrim Press. Each devotion opens with a story a single mother whose son cries every day when she drops him off at his new day care, another woman who breaks off a dead-end dating relationship with a non-believer and still another who is coping with loneliness as her 17-year-old daughter heads off to college. Throughout, Howe shows great sensitivity for many of the issues facing single Christian mothers, such as financial problems, exhaustion, confused or angry children, dating dilemmas and the pain of divorce. Each story is followed by a sincere and loving prayer. (Mar.)
