Description
This encouraging book uses the charm of timeless literary works and the wisdom of the Bible to reconsider what is seen today as a classic role.
Using selected quotes from novels including Sense and Sensibility, Treasure Island, and Great Expectations, the authors offer encouragement and exhortation to women of all walks of life who struggle and strive to be intentional in their parenting choices. Rather than offering methods and advice on parenting, Brereton and Smith seek to help women make the most out of their motherhood experience by challenging them to:
• Find value and purpose in their motherhood role
• Discover God's design for their family
• Deepen their personal relationship with God, with their families, and with other moms
Mothering Heights includes questions ideal for use in book discussion groups or women's ministry settings!
