Hawkins, a member of the West 21st Street Church of Christ in Clovis, N.M., shares stories from home life — similar to those shared in books for women by Proverbs 31 Ministries.
All of the parables Hawkins presents are rooted in lessons she has learned through motherhood, raising two boys on an isolated rural ranch.

When Mountains Won’t Move
Jacob Hawk. When Mountains Won’t Move: How to Survive a Struggling Faith 
Hawk, preaching minister for the Riverside Church of Christ in Kerrville, Texas, presents eight chapters advising readers on how to keep their faith in times of trial. Ideas include embracing weakness, serving others and turning to the church. Each chapter ends with reflection questions, making it appropriate for individual journaling or group discussion.
