There is no greater, nobler, or more fulfilling calling than that of motherhood. Every day, as they nurture their children, mothers influence eternal destiny as no one else can. Yet often women are drawn to seek fulfillment outside of God's design, despite their inherent desire to embrace motherhood with their whole hearts.

Today's culture minimizes the vital importance of a mother's role. By catching a vision of God's original design and allowing it to shape their lives, mothers can rediscover the joy and fulfillment to be found in the strategic role to which God has called them - for a purpose far greater than they can imagine.

The first time I started reading this book I was encouraged to take my role as mom more seriously. However, something happened and the book sat on my shelf for a few years. My mom's group decided to read it over the summer and this time I finished.

The book lays a foundation upon which to build relationships with our children and stresses the importance of discipleship. She uses illustrations from her own life and imaginings of what Jesus's disciples may have thought to make her points.

I was encouraged to change the way I approach my kids and reminded of why they've been given to me in the first place.… (lisätietoja)
