A Mother's Journey: A Devotional for Pregnancy

Melissa Heiland is a wife and mother of six. She holds a master's degree in education. She has been involved with pregnancy care ministry since 1994. She is active at a crisis pregnancy center in central Florida, where she serves as the director of client services. She is also the founder of Beautiful Feet International, a mission organization that helps churches plan and prepare for volunteer missions around the world. She is the author of Get Set, a devotional for preparing volunteers for the mission field and A Mother's Comfort, a devotional for a new mother in the first year of her child's life.

The Lord gifts people so they can serve others. That's what He wants. He wants us to take what He gives us and use it to help others know Him and choose to believe in Jesus, their Savior. Then He wants those people to learn from us what it is to be "salt" and "light" to the world. Melissa Heiland has used her considerable gift to open a mother's life, shore up the hard places, celebrate the wonder and inspire the joy of being in the presence of God. Use these devotionals. You'll love the hope you will encounter. A Mother's Journey is a precious trek. Enjoy Melissa's gift to you.

A Mother's Journey is a testimony to the wonders and depth of God's love and grace to pregnant women and children in the womb. It is a warm, engaging biblical journey that is comforting and encouraging to those going through a challenging time in their lives. Melissa Heiland beautifully expresses her love for the Lord and her commitment to women and the unborn. Women will be transformed in heart and spirit by the blessings of this work. This devotional should be available for all women with the gift of pregnancy and may it find its way into all pregnancy resource centers to impact the lives and souls of many.

What I love about Melissa is her heart and passion for women, especially women experiencing an unplanned pregnancy and the immobilizing fear that comes with it. With almost 20 years of service in pregnancy care centers, there is no one more qualified than Melissa to reach into the heart and soul of a scared and overwhelmed expectant mother. We have so little time with the clients that come into our center, and so much we want to share with them. I love being able to give them a copy of A Mother's Journey, knowing what a great source of loving encouragement and truth it will be to them.
