If you would like to join me for the book study on The Mission of Motherhood by Sally Clarkson, now is the time! We begin chapter 1 this week and we will be open for discussion on the chapter next Monday and will slowly work our way through this wonderful book! It is well worth the read for any mother, whatever season you are in! I would encourage you to really dig deep and spend some time in the application section at the end of each chapter. She has powerful Scripture passages to meditate upon which brings further depth and insight into this study.
This book is a powerful call for mothers to see our first mission field to be among our own children! To see each heart as one that needs nuturing, love, training, and discipline for the purpose of growing them in godliness and building a spiritual legacy. They are precious souls that are treasures we are storing up in heavens as we invest in their spiritual, emotional, and physical well-being!
I hope you join us!
Looking forward to reading along with this & hearing the discussion!
I am reading this book right now too. I heard Sally and her daughter Sarah speak at our home school conference in June. It was really awesome and I felt like God had sent me right there just to hear her! Their book on homeschooling is really good too if you are considering that in the future. It is one of the better ones I have read on that and it incorporates schooling as part of the family as a whole and not a separate entity. I’ve been enjoying your blog, even though I rarely comment.
I’ve been enjoying your site and the helpful tips you’ve given as I’m trying harder to have my family live a healthy lifestyle — but doing so frugally. Anyway, I’m so excited that you’re doing a book study with this book. I just started this book and I’m very excited about what God is going to teach me through it. I’ll have to go back to chapter one and read it again (I’ve only read 2 chapters anyway) so I can join in on this.
For some reason, I wasn’t able to comment on your last post about canning, but WOW to how much you were able to can. We just picked apples off of my parents 1 apple tree yesterday. We’re trying to figure out what kind of apples they are now, the tree was there when they bought the house and never does well, but this year it was full of beautiful apples!! I’m excited about trying my hand at canning. Good to hear you used rapadura for the applesauce, I was trying to decide which natural sweetener would work well in canning. Ok, sorry, I’m a chatterbox…. looking forward to hearing others thoughts on this book.
Just letting you know that I gave you an award
