What does it mean to be a mother like Him? In A Mother Like Him: The Practice of Merciful Mothering - Finding the Heart of Jesus in Your Parenting, author and clinical psychotherapist Mary Anna-Louise Gothi invites mothers and fathers alike on a heartfelt journey to discover the transformative power of mercy in the home. This powerful Christian parenting book blends emotional insight, spiritual truth, and real-life application, helping you grow in both faith and family life.
Although Jesus was never a parent, He was - and is - the ultimate model of mercy.

- Choose forgiveness even when it feels undeserved.
- Extend compassion instead of criticism in moments of conflict.
- Believe the best about your children, even when they disappoint you.
- See discipline through the lens of love rather than punishment.
- Heal from your own childhood wounds so you can parent with freedom and grace.
