"Her Children Arise Up and Call Her Blessed . . ."
Christian mothers of all generations need good examples of "mothering skills"—what a godly mother should be like. The mothers in this book made sacrifices even when no one else was looking. Their unheralded lives and obedience to God will result in eternal rewards. However, many rewards are bestowed in the here and now, as the stories in this book illustrate.
The authors write, "This book was written to encourage Christian mothers to be joyful and consistent in their calling. Many women have told us that they need examples of Christian motherhood, and Call Her Blessed is an attempt to provide such examples. Each chapter centers on a different theme, using stories from the lives of real mothers to help readers grasp truths of how to follow God’s will for their lives in mothering their children. Some of us are 'first generation' Christians, and this book has been an encouragement to many in understanding ways they can follow the biblical command for mothers to love their children. . . We hope Call Her Blessed will be an encouragement to you!"
"Not being raised in a Christian home and being saved after ten years of marriage and four children has caused me to need as many godly examples as I can get. The ‘problem' is I am the oldest and have more children than any mothers I know. Women look to me as an example — they shouldn't do that! . . . My daughters and even my sons need me to be a godly example." —Wisconsin
"At age 39 and just having my seventh ‘bundle of joy,' I feel quite in the middle. On the one side I am teaching my 16 year old daughter and on the other I'm still trying to learn my role as the submissive, loving wife and mother. All this to say ‘thank-you' for stepping out and printing a book specifically for women." —Illinois
"It was the best book you have written so far. I laughed and cried in every chapter. You can't imagine how it encouraged me — it was just what I needed to get me back on track. It helped me say, "Yes! I will pour out my life for my husband and children." —Florida
"It had the teaching I am always looking for. Not being raised in a Christian home, I need these stories and examples to learn how to become the wife and mother God wants me to be." —Wisconsin
