Emily Jensen and Laura Wifler are the cofounders of
the Risen Motherhood ministry and cohosts of the
chart-topping podcast. They are also in the trenches of
motherhood, right alongside their readers. With a
combination of accessibility, relatability, and solid
biblical knowledge, Emily and Laura have a knack for simplifying
complex scriptural truths, relating and applying them to everyday
life. God has consistently and powerfully used the
voices of these two moms to captivate women around
the world with the gospel. As sisters-in-law, Emily and Laura
both live in central Iowa with their families.
“Parenting is often the crucible in which we learn what we can and
cannot control. Laura and Emily remind us that while we cannot
control people or circumstances, we can control our perspective.
They offer us a framework for motherhood that transcends time and
culture but that also faithfully addresses us in the here and now.
I'm thankful for this hope-filled book.”
—Jen Wilkin, director of classes and curriculum, The Village
Church, and author of Women of the Word, None like Him, and In His
Image
“Reading Risen Motherhood is like enjoying a long conversation with
two girlfriends who will make you laugh out loud, comfort your
tears, and faithfully speak life-giving words of truth to your
soul. With wisdom and insight, Emily Jensen and Laura Wifler help
moms connect the story line of Scripture to the daily realities of
motherhood. This book is one every mom should read—I can’t wait to
share it with others!”
—Melissa Kruger, director of women’s content for The Gospel
Coalition and the author of Walking with God in the Season of
Motherhood
“Emily and Laura are the best friends I wish I'd had during the
difficult days of early motherhood, when my patience wore thin, my
boredom loomed large, and my sense of worth and purpose became
muddled. The wisdom they have to offer in the pages of this book is
seasoned and scriptural.”
—Nancy Guthrie, author, Bible teacher, and ongoing pursuer of risen
motherhood
“Risen Motherhood points us to the Source and Sustainer of
resurrection vitality and life that weary mamas so desperately
need. Its pages are Word-saturated, helping us to think biblically
about how the gospel applies to the majestic and the mundane
moments of motherhood."
—Karen Hodge, board chair of Risen Motherhood, coordinator of
women’s ministries for the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA),
and coauthor of Transformed and Life-Giving Leadership
“Emily and Laura want you to know the gospel so intimately that it
sinks deep into your mind and heart and transforms every tiny
corner of your life. These two moms are wonderful traveling
companions—they know the heat of the moment, the temptations that
come with deep trials, and the unexpected pain of Legos underfoot.
Let their life-giving words point you to Christ and remind you that
the light of the Son has dawned and that you walk in the warmth of
a risen motherhood.”
—Abigail Dodds, author of (A)Typical Woman, blogger and
regular contributor at Desiring God
“This wonderful book offers deep sympathy and understanding to
those who face the stress and challenges of motherhood. It also
provides moms with a clear vision of their profound purpose and the
hope they need to live vibrantly and meaningfully within this
divine role. I highly recommend this book.”
—Sally Clarkson, bestselling author and host of the At Home with
Sally podcast
“Admittedly, I am not exactly the core audience for Risen
Motherhood—the ministry or the book. That said, I always keep my
ear to the ground for ministries I can grow to trust and then
recommend to others. I’m delighted to say that for as long as I’ve
followed Emily’s and Laura’s work I have benefitted from it. Even
better, I have seen many Christian moms I know and love read their
website, listen to their podcast, and grow through it. I’m thankful
they’ve now added this book to the many channels through which they
serve God by serving his people.”
—Tim Challies, bestselling author and popular blogger and book
reviewer
“Risen Motherhood delivers practical and present wisdom, anchored
to timeless biblical truth. In Risen Motherhood, moms find empathy,
encouragement, and the reminder that true hope for moms is through
the transforming work of the gospel, alone.”
—Ruth Chou Simons, bestselling author of GraceLaced and Beholding
and Becoming: The Art of Everyday Worship
