Tricia Goyer is just an ordinary woman who struggles with all the same issues as the rest of us, when it comes to motherhood. Often times, the everyday push and pull leaves Ms. Goyer feeling smooshed, a feeling we can all relate to. In BLUE LIKE PLAYDOUGH, Tricia Goyer shares her journey from a rebellious pregnant teen to a busy wife and mother with big dreams of her own.

Like all of us, the author’s life is as messy and filled with doubts. But God showed up in the midst of her life, from a spider interrupting homeschool lessons, to play dough in the hands of a child.

BLUE LIKE PLAY DOUGH will help all of us mothers realize that God has more in store for us that we can possibly imagine. But only if we let Him mold our lives.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this account of motherhood by Tricia Goyer. It is full of laughter, understanding and inspiration. I found it amazing to know how Tricia’s life in some ways paralleled mine.

BLUE LIKE PLAY DOUGH is a book that will be going on my keeper shelf to refer back to time and again and possibly share with my daughters as they become mothers. This is a book that all mothers will relate to, whether they are great grandparents, or facing the first uncertain days as a mother of a newborn, wondering why babies don’t come with instruction manuals. Pick up a copy of BLUE LIKE PLAY DOUGH for yourself or for a friend. $13.99. 195 pages.
