A compassionate guide to navigating generational mother wounds and strained relationships with mothers, helping you grieve and move forward in healing through biblical wisdom and practical strategies—from the bestselling author of Church Girl.

Struggling with a difficult relationship with your mother can feel like an insurmountable burden. It's an often-overlooked pain women experience and one the church has rarely addressed or talked about. Now Bible teacher, speaker, and psychotherapist Dr. Sarita Lyons delves into this complex issue in Honor Thy Mother, offering a path to healing and peace.

Dr. Lyons serves as an honest and compassionate guide full of biblical wisdom and hope. She helps you discover the different types of wounding mothers, connect the dots between past pain and present struggles, and learn how to grieve and heal. With practical steps like owning your experience, therapy, spiritual disciplines, community support, discussion questions, journal prompts, and chapters on grieving the fantasy mother, finding peace, the power of a spiritual mother, and moving toward a realistic plan for restoration, you'll find the tools you need to start your journey and learn what it really means to honor your mother.

Incorporating insights into how mother wounds affect other areas of life, this book guides you through the process of grieving, healing, and ultimately finding freedom and blessings. Whether you seek to improve your relationship with your mother, recover from past hurts, or simply be a mother who doesn't deeply wound your own child, Honor Thy Mother is your companion on this courageous journey of healing your heart, finding true peace, and drawing closer to God.
