<p>&ldquo;In her own straightforward, energetic voice, Rachel Gerber invites you into her world; a world brimming with boisterous boys, plenty of work, and a whiff of the Holy. As she recounts parenting peaks and valleys, she invites us to see God calling and caring for us, even&mdash;or especially&mdash;in seemingly mundane moments.&rdquo;</p> ~Hannah Heinzekehr, Reviews

<p>&ldquo;Even though Gerber gets tired and cranky, raising her sweet boys to know and love Jesus is her calling and where she meets God.&rdquo;</p><p>&ldquo;<i>Ordinary Miracles</i> is endearing and funny. It will be a welcome find on church library shelves, especially for tired young mothers.&rdquo;</p> ~Monica Tenney, Reviews

<p>&ldquo;<i>Ordinary Miracles</i> is not another &lsquo;how-to&rsquo; manual on parenting. Instead, it is an expression of a mother&rsquo;s experiences in the light of her relationship with God. It is as if the author is drawing a curtain to let the reader see what she goes through each day and how she perceives her journey toward a richer understanding of God through her role as a mother and a wife.</p><p>&ldquo;This is an easy-to-read book that leaves the reader with an awareness that ordinary moments in life can lead to deeper reflection on our spiritual journey. These events can be as simple as stopping to listen to a child, talking to a stranger, inviting someone to your home, visiting a neighbour or calling a friend for a chat.&rdquo;</p> ~Sospeter Gatobu, Reviews
