In my search for Mother's Day gifts, I keep turning up great resources. In fact, the very first Christian Lit editor here at Bella, Carole Hallundbaek, has published a book that might be perfect for your mom, or you if you're a mom. The title is _Dear Little One: Thoughts to My Child in an Uncertain World._ It has earned 5 stars on Amazon. Among the reviews listed, "Timeless... Has the quality of Anne Morrow Lindbergh's Gift From The Sea." From Episcopal Church Foundation, "... it is important for us to see through the cacophony and hubbub to the mystery and awe in these little lives."
The author herself says, "I wrote this book during my kids' nap times when they were small! It gently encompasses the important things we would like our children to know throughout their life, things we hope to tell them, but rarely have the opportunity or the time in our busy lives. It gives me great comfort to know that they will hear Mom's thoughts and feel Mom's comfort, even after I am gone."
Carole has also published _Saints in Love_, another book about relationships, and I've provided a link below to Carole's website.

_Mothers of the Bible_ has to be a good gift book for a mom. In this book about mothers of long ago, "You'll meet biblical women whose struggles to live life faithfully and courageously will echo your own experiences, help you ground your family relationships in God's Word, and equip you to nurture your children." 128 pages, Hardcover from Zondervan.
