Share

Every foster parent knows how hard, yet rewarding, it can be to care for a child with a difficult past and an uncertain future.  Christie Erwin has been a mom, in the middle, for countless children over nearly two decades.  In this poignant and insightful book, she honestly shares the reality of making yourself vulnerable to the pain and indescribable delight of giving your heart away to a child.  If you have ever considered foster parenting and just aren't sure you have what it takes, let Christie's inspiring, faith-filled story assure you that there is One who can and will equip you with all you need.

- "Christie Erwin has given her life to caring for vulnerable children. Now she beautifully and transparently shares the stories that have both broken and expanded her heart.  Her journey will have you asking two questions: 'How could I ever do this?' and 'How could I ever NOT do this?' The Middle Mom is a great book."--Barbara Rainey, co-founder of FamilyLife
