Today’s book is To Be a Mother, <\/span>one novella of a pair under that title by Author Ruth Axtell Morren. Here’s the scoop!<\/p>\n

Rianna Bruce is a strong woman. She watched her husband die, nursing him in a Washington, D.C. hospital at the height of the Civil War.<\/p>\n

But she couldn\u2019t leave then, not after witnessing the desperate need for nurses. So, she remained for the rest of the war. She couldn\u2019t have survived this ordeal without a strong faith in God. It was during this time that she began a closer walk with the Lord through the friendship of a fellow nurse.<\/p>\n

This faith kept her going, even when she felt unsure and inadequate, even when she lost the baby she carried, and during the years of self-imposed exile from her native village of Woods Haven, Maine. This was the one area of her life where she felt weak, too weak to come back home an evident failure: a childless war widow. So, instead, she continued nursing private patients for several years after the way.<\/p>\n

But always a part of her yearned to return home\u2026home not only to her family, but to the young man who\u2019d first awakened her heart when she was barely fifteen. She\u2019d heard he was a widow. What she didn\u2019t know until she came back was that he also had a little girl\u2026who now needed a mother.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Ruth says:<\/p>\n

To write this story, I drew on the kind of strength I read about in history books of the women of the past century. I also wrote this from my own experience in my thirties, when my walk with the Lord deepened and I discovered the fullness of God\u2019s Spirit. Rianna\u2019s joy is a reflection of the joy I felt when I received the baptism of the Holy Spirit and came to understand how real and how very near God is to us daily in whatever circumstances we go through.”–Ruth<\/p>\n
