I'm a follower of Jesus Christ, wife to Dave, mother of four young children, and a Tex-Mex enthusiast.

When my husband and I moved to the Middle East in 2008 to plant Redeemer Church of Dubai it was just the two of us and our baby girl, and we had no idea what the Lord was going to do. It's been many years now, and not a day goes by that we're not astonished by God's grace in calling us here, in using us to minister to people from many nations, and in blessing us with two more children along the way (+1 more due in Summer 2013).

While I'm changing nappies and helping with homework, I serve the ladies in my community, teach God's word at various ladies' ministry events, and edit the Domestic Kingdom blog.

Runny noses. Dirty diapers. Unfolded laundry. The day-to-day life of the average housewife is filled with countless tasks that can feel mundane and ordinary, causing women to wonder if they'e missing out on bigger and better things.

Eager to encourage such struggling homemakers, pastor's wife and mother of three Gloria Furman highlights the reality of God's grace in all of life, especially those areas that often seem boring and unimportant. Filled with personal examples and anecdotes, this richly theological reflection on what it means to be a wife, mother, and homemaker challenges readers to see and cherish the gospel's extraordinary impact on ordinary life. Glimpses of Grace will inspire a renewed gospel-cheerfulness among women faithfully serving God in and through their homes.
