I am often asked what book helped me to set my course.. you know the one that isn't the BIBLE~ In 1995 I read a book that was so helpful in my seeing a vision of fulfillment inside the walls of my home. Yes.. not JUST a Stay At Home mom.. but truly loving being home. Intentionally, choosing to stay home and serve my family.
This book led me home.. not just physically.. but mentally.. and in my heart too. It made me see the value in using my time and talents to serve my family and others that God brings to our home. That home could be a place of study, of creativity, of profit and productivity. That I didn't need to strive to have it all by balancing working outside of the home and cleaning, running errands etc when I made it home finally.
Yes, sometimes the tone of this book is a bit rough around the edges.. but the author's desire to love the Lord and share truth with fellow sisters in Christ is clear. Will this book lead you home.. I don't know.. but hopefully it will soften your heart toward your God and your family.. hopefully it will lead you to the Bible to evaluate the choices available to you. Read it.. throw it .. pick it up and read some more.... For me, this book is a reread when I feel like I am spinning my wheels.. share its concepts, talk through them. But don't ignore this book....
