Get Biblical Answers to the Tough Questions Girls Face
We know that the chief purpose and end of man is “to glorify God and to enjoy Him forever.” But how does this calling apply to daughters living at home? And how do daughters and parents explain that application to their extended families, pastors, and loved ones?
Jasmine Baucham, the oldest daughter of Christian speaker, author, and church elder Dr. Voddie Baucham, answers these important questions in her brand-new book, Joyfully at Home.
By age fourteen, Jasmine Baucham’s little-girl dreams of becoming a mommy were supplanted by bigger visions of winning the Pulitzer Prize or an Oscar and appearing on Oprah. She began viewing the calling of home and marriage as second-rate. Then her world was radically challenged by the Scriptures, as she went from craving personal renown to craving to please the Lord through delighting in his design for the joyful home — an even bigger dream, she realized, than stardom.
With humor, humility, and heart, Jasmine offers insight from her own struggles and victories as a young woman, tackling the tough questions Christian girls face and offering practical counsel on how to overcome false views of marriage, husbands, and singleness.
In her introduction to Joyfully at Home, Jasmine writes:
"I want to encourage young women to shift their focus, to turn their hearts towards the home, to be enthusiastic and vibrant, purposeful and driven, meticulous and passionately focused in pursuit of the Lord’s will for their time at home. I want them to grasp the bigger picture: A vision for the home as a hub of ministry and discipleship, as a training ground for life ahead, as a place where they can bless those nearest and dearest to them, and, as a result, turn that blessing outward towards others in their church and community. "
Through Joyfully at Home you will learn how to:
* Become a good daughter to your Heavenly Father * Become a good daughter to your parents * Become a good sister to your siblings * Help create a joyful home atmosphere * Find joyful contentment * Overcome a false view of marriage, husbands, singleness, and self * Overcome a false view of God’s sovereignty * Embrace the “Bigger Picture” of life * Explain to others (and to yourself) why you choose to stay at home * Answer the “What Ifs?” and “Are You Judging Me?” questions *Understand how ministry in the home coincides with the Great Commission * And much more!
