After a near-death experience, Trudy Beyak an award-winning journalist pursued a global investigation into the nature of God and gender. She interviewed fifty leaders of faith, including: Ruth Graham, the Vatican, Dr. Raymond Damadian, the inventor of the MRI; Gary Chapman, Danae Dobson, Paul Young, Brennan Manning, Rabbi Laura Duhan Kaplan, and Dr. Francis Collins, to name a few. Their answers will inspire you!
This book is not only a first-class investigation, but a compelling spiritual journey. In a world reeling from one crisis to another, God, as the Comforter, gives us calm and comfort, as a mother comforts a loved one and gives wisdom to help in every crisis. The spiritual insight about the maternal side to God’s mercy and love is a fact that has mostly been missing from the Christian conversation for more than 5,000 years.
Reflecting on Trudy Beyak’s spiritual journey and global quest for answers that are based on Scripture, best-selling author Paul Young writes:
"The Mother Heart of God is brilliant, balanced and beautiful. What a superb and important contribution to the expanding conversation. I love it! . . . When a brilliant interviewer and journalist wraps her quest and questions inside her “story,” humanity is delivered a stunning and important gift! You are holding such a gift in your hands!"

QUOTE FROM THE BOOK:Anne Lamott, New York Times bestselling author
"God's love for us is like the deep love a mother has for her newborn, like the protective love a mother has for her sick three-year-old child, like the unconditional love a mother has for her cantankerous 18-year-old." -

QUOTE FROM THE BOOK:Vivian Ruskin, a journalist, related to Mark Twain
"This new book is an amazing example of how a collection of articulate, educated people deeply committed to differing religious faiths can agree on a concept that has never even occurred to most of us. And, yet the concept is so obvious." -
QUOTE FROM THE BOOK:J.I. Packer, editor, English Standard Version Bible
"All three persons of the Godhead reveal paternal and maternal qualities in their relationship with us. They are one in essence ... The paternal aspect of God is a combination of authority and care; the maternal quality is one of loving support."
