A compassionate guide to navigating generational mother wounds and strained relationships with mothers, helping you grieve and move forward in healing through biblical wisdom and practical strategies—from the bestselling author of Church Girl.

Whether you seek to improve your relationship with your mother, recover from past hurts, or simply be a mother who doesn't deeply wound your own child, Honor Thy Mother is your companion on this courageous journey of healing your heart, finding true peace, and drawing closer to God.

Full of biblical wisdom, hope, and practical advice, this book empowers you to recognize and address your unique maternal challenges. With actionable strategies, like owning your experience, engaging in therapy, practicing spiritual disciplines, building community support, committing to peace, and identifying a spiritual mother, along with discussion questions, journal prompts, and ways to move toward a realistic plan for restoration, you'll find the tools you need to start your journey and learn what it really means to honor your mother. Dr. Lyons offers a path to healing and peace and will ultimately help you bring you the freedom and blessings you long for.
