I am extremely passionate about learning to be a godly wife and mother. Whenever I hear of a book that encourages wives and mothers in their roles, I eagerly anticipate the chance to read it. I have so much to learn and so many areas that I need to grow, and I absolutely love to soak up the wisdom of other women.
When I heard that June Fuentes from A Wise Woman Builds Her Home was writing a new ebook, I was excited. June is a homeschooling mom to eight going on nine children, a first generation Christian, and is as passionate as I am about wives and mothers embracing their calling.
Some of the topics this book covers are:
What kind of legacy will I be leaving my children?
How can I help my husband be a leader in our home?
Am I teaching biblical truths to my children?
Am I setting a good example?
What kinds of entertainment should we allow in our home?
How can I make my home inviting when I'm on a tight budget?
How can I help my husband be a leader in our home?
Am I teaching biblical truths to my children?
Am I setting a good example?
What kinds of entertainment should we allow in our home?
How can I make my home inviting when I'm on a tight budget?
One of the things that I really appreciated about this book, is that June doesn't try to give you formulas to have the "perfect" Christian home. She's very real. We all have a sin nature, and our families are going to see that more than anyone else. But she also lovingly points us back to scripture, encouraging us to love our husbands and children the way God has called us to in His word.
This book is not only full of wisdom from a godly woman, but it also has many encouraging quotes from Charles Spurgeon and JR Miller interwoven throughout the book, and discussion questions at the end of each chapter.
In this day and age, it's unusual to be reminded that investing in our families and homes is a high calling. I am sure that I will be referring to this book whenever I need some encouragement or guidance in the years to come.
