The Mission of Motherhood (Join the ‘Book Club’)
As many of you know, I’m going to be reading ‘The Mission of Motherhood: Touching Your child’s Heart for Eternity‘ and I asked if you would like to read along with me. Many of you said yes, so here is how I’m planning on making it possible for us to read and discuss together:
We’ll discuss one chapter per week (using the ‘something to think about’ and ‘something to try’ questions and challenges at the end of each chapter), and we’ll just do it right here on the blog in the comments section (I decided not to put it in the Coffee Talk community because other people who aren’t reading along may just like reading the information in the posts on what we’re learning/doing/discussing in the book.)
I will start the discussion on Friday, July 30th.
We’ll have a link-up that day to everyone’s blogs so we know who is all reading the book. Sound good?
Can’t wait to dig in with you!
You can get the book here or here.
From the back cover of The Mission of Motherhood:
Do you long for your home to be life-giving and peaceful?
Is it your desire to pass on a legacy of righteousness to your children?
Do you struggle to balance the duties of motherhood with a loving relationship with your children?
Would you like creative ideas and direction for keeping your child’s heart open to you and to the Lord?
No calling is greater, nobler, or more fulfilling than that of motherhood. Every day, as we nurture our children, mothers influence eternal destiny as no one else can. Tragically, today’s culture minimized the vital importance of a mother’s role. By catching a vision of God’s original design and allowing it to shape your life, you can rediscover the joy and fulfillment that can be found in the strategic role to which God in all his wisdom has called you, for a purpose far greater than you can ever imagine.
So if I read the description to my husband, he would say, "Yes, please!" Oh how I need this…glad it will be when my bible study for the summer is finished! ;)

I am hoping to find this book at our local Barnes and Noble or at our local Lemstone. We leave for vacation so no time to order it. I won't be able to chime in right away, but hope to eventually. Thanks for letting me know about this book!

Amazon also has it available for the Kindle. So if you have a Kindle you can start reading within minutes. Looks very interesting.
You can count me in.
