Bessborough was Ireland's most notorious Mother & Baby Home. From 1922 to 1998 almost 20,000 women and children passed through its doors. In the first book of its kind, historian Michael Dwyer takes us inside Bessborough. Using an array of historical sources, Dwyer pieces together the relationship between the Sisters of the Sacred Hearts who ran the home, the local authorities who paid them to maintain women and children there and the state departments who oversaw its operation. Dwyer charts Bessborough's 76 year history and addresses the many controversies surrounding the Mother & Baby Home from vaccine trials to the extraordinarily high infant death rate and the mystery which still surrounds the location of over 800 infant remains.

Let the simplicity of the Amish draw you closer to God. In this instantly connected world, it's surprisingly easy to lose our connection to God. What's admirable about the Amish lifestyle is that it intentionally slows the pace of life so there's an opportunity to see the everyday grandeur of our great God. Not everyone can--or should--adopt an Amish lifestyle. But the Amish can inspire all of us to slow down and simplify our lives. We need to learn to let go of our glittering gadgets in order to grab hold of something of infinitely greater value--the Divine. The One Year Book of Amish Peace will inspire you to set a sustainable pace of life so that you, too, can take the time to enjoy God's gifts each and every day.

Reflections on country life on Canada’s eastern coast: “Gentle humor and prose as clear and lilting as the song of the hermit thrush at dusk.” —Deborah Carr, author of Sanctuary: The Story of Naturalist Mary Majka Sara Jewell has lived at eighteen different addresses—but there was one that remained constant: Pugwash Point Road in rural Nova Scotia. She was nine years old the first time her family vacationed in the small fishing village about an hour from the New Brunswick border, and the red soil stained her heart. Life, as it’s wont to do, eventually took Jewell away from the east coast. But when her marriage and big-city life started to crumble, she wanted only one thing: a fresh start in Pugwash. Field Notes includes forty-one essays on the differences, both subtle and drastic, between city life and country living. From curious neighbors and unpredictable weather to the reality of roadkill and the wonders of wildlife, award-winning narrative journalist Sara Jewell strikes the perfect balance between honest self-examination and humorous observation—in a delightful memoir accented with original drawings by Joanna Close. “A born storyteller . . . her sharp-witted but kind-hearted portraits of country people, places, and customs make for a remarkable first book.” —Harry Thurston, author of A Place Between the Tides and the Deer Yard

Mothering is messy. Our joy and hope in raising children doesn’t change the reality that being a mom can be frustrating, stressful, and tiring. But just as God is using us to shape our children, God is using our children and motherhood to shape us. In The Better Mom, author Ruth Schwenk, herself a mother of four children, encourages us with the good news that there is more to being a mom than the extremes of striving for perfection or simply embracing the mess. We don’t need to settle for surviving our kids’ childhood. We can grow through it. With refreshing and heartfelt honesty Ruth emboldens moms to: Find freedom and walk confidently in purpose Create a God-honoring home environment Overcome unhealthy and destructive emotions such as anger, anxiety, and more Avoid glorifying the mess of mom-ing or idolizing perfection Cultivate life-giving friendships At the heart of The Better Mom is the message that Jesus calls us to live not a weary life, but a worthy life. We don’t have to settle for either being apathetic or struggling to be perfect. Both visions of motherhood go too far. Ruth offers a better option. She says, “It’s okay to come as we are, but what we’re called to do and be is far too important to stay there! The way to becoming a better mom starts not with what we are doing, but with who God is inviting us to become."
