The text of this book includes over 100 well-known proverbs, accompanied by the original thoughtful reflections of Dr Mackie, with a direct application to twenty-first-century life. The pages are filled with glorious photographs of mothers and grandmothers in celebration of their unique cultural and maternal identity, surrounded with the love and affection of family. In each section, Dr Mackie takes a familiar proverb and couples it with a passage from the Bible. The juxtaposition illustrates the biblical root of the common proverb alongside Dr Mackies own deeply personal observances of its truth, presented in relatable modern-day anecdotes from his life and his work.
