First came the carriage? That’s not how that nursery rhyme goes!

There are times in life when things don’t go as planned. Most single mothers never planned to be single and parenting. Whether your child is 8, 18 or 28, you are divinely graced for this life-long journey of mothering.

First Came the Carriage is a 31 day devotional that traverses through the Book of Proverbs. Each day is filled with a proverb, a journal prompt, a proclamation and a prayer. Nuggets for moving on, co-parenting, forgiveness and self-care are housed within these pages to help mothers develop their own authentic faith practice.

First Came the Carriage is a quick pick-me-up for single mothers who need encouragement, insight and inspiration. With 16 years of effectively co-parenting, Phyllis L. Linnes bridges the Word of God with the wisdom of experience in relevant and transparent way.
