Friday Book Pick — Blue Like Play Dough by Tricia Goyer

If you have been following my blog for awhile, you may remember that last July I chose the book Blue Like Jazz by Donald Miller as a Friday Book Pick. Playing off of the title of this successful book, Christian author Tricia Goyer has recently released her version, Blue Like Play Dough. I love the way she describes this book on her website: In the squash and squeeze of a mommy’s day, could God be shaping something beautiful? In this beautiful treatment of spirituality in the light of motherhood, Goyer reaches into her own past for stories that will take turns make you laugh or shed a tear.

Tricia Goyer is a multi-published author of historical fiction, contemporary fiction and nonfiction titles and she has a passion for mentoring young moms, especially teenage girls who find themselves thrust into motherhood before their time. Blue Like Play Dough was a great read and reached into my heart with God’s truth — even in the midst of laundry, dishes and bickering kids. I’m not sure what God is shaping me into, but I can tell you that motherhood is definitely changing my shape! Hopefully, He will make me into something even better.
