Publisher's Description
When Carol Floch realized that her marriage was about to end and that she was about to join the ranks of moms left to raise their children on their own, she could not stop crying. She mourned her shattered hopes and grieved the loss of the family she had always dreamed of. But mostly, she cried for her children. Into Carol's grief, regret, and fear, God's Spirit came with a message from Psalm 84: Build your nest near my altar, and I will be your children's source of security, protection, provision, and blessing. In The Single Mom's Devotional, Carol tells her story and shares with the sisterhood of single moms how they can build their family's nest in the protective shadow of God's presence. Single mothers, whether on their own after a divorce or a husband's death, will discover how to find true life in Christ and allow the strength of that inner life to be the compass by which they navigate an unpredictable future. Near God's altar, the cross of Christ is where single moms will discover life through relinquishment, power through dependence, and hope through surrender. Anchored at the foot of the cross, readers will find daily security and hope as they nourish their souls and nurture their children at a place near God's altar.

“The Single Mom’s Devotional is an encouraging buoy in the swirling waters of single parenting. With Christ at the center of these 52 weeks of devotions, Carol wraps her experiences with encouragement, practical insight, reflection and Scripture.”
“Single moms are dear to God’s heart, and He longs to comfort and care for them. Carol’s book is a love letter from Jesus to these precious daughters of the king. I pray they will find His grace in these pages.”
“When my wife died, I too, began the gut-wrenching journey of being a single parent. It was brutal, but God was faithful. My friend Carol Floch and her wise words are a spiritual balm for the aching soul. Don’t just read this devotional, but also ingest it, live it and let the truths of God’s Word transform you.”
“This amazing devotional is open, honest and vulnerable. It is written out of the author’s own pain, disillusionment and recovery as a single mom. It is also solidly rooted in Scripture—Carol’s main source of strength. We highly recommend it!”
