I'm welcoming Blythe Daniel to the podcast this week! Blythe is a literary agent and marketer. She has written for Proverbs 31 Ministries, Focus on the Family, Ann Voskamp, and Christian Retailing. Her agency markets books represents books to publishers. The daughter of Dr. Helen McIntosh, she lives in Colorado with her husband and three children. She and McIntosh have written I Love You, Mom! and Mended: Restoring the Hearts of Mothers and Daughters.

In honor of Mother's Day we are chatting about her latest book co-written with her mom, Dr. Helen McIntosh. Written for moms of all ages of children, from infants to adults, I Love You, Mom! gives a voice to the feelings many have about their mom. Going beyond a traditional greeting card, the book is beautifully designed with cheerful full-color artwork in a hardcover package. It contains 25 word gifts, each focused on a character quality for mom and designed to express affirmation and encouragement that moms dream of hearing.

Each devotion includes a Scripture verse, a story from Daniel and McIntosh about the related word gift or a biblical story, and a pre-written reflection from the perspective of the child to his or her mom using the word gift such as “You are forgiven/fearless/a servant”. Devotions include topics such as leaving a legacy, making time for yourself, choosing joy, connection, serving one another, and more.

“Being a mom can sometimes be a tiring, thankless job,” says McIntosh. “But when we take a step back and realize the impact we are making on our child’s life, and the critical role we play, it’s humbling.”
