The Mission of Motherhood: Touching Your Child’s Heart for Eternity
Here is a little bit about the book (from Publisher’s description):
“…it has been on Sally’s heart to write a book that will draw mother’s back to God’s original design for motherhood and the home…Sally moves beyond inspiration and encouragement, to instruction, vision and mission as she explores the biblical design of God for mothers that transcends cultures and trends. Drawing on challenging insights from Scripture enlightened by her own experiences as a mother for 18 years, Sally draws a biblical and very personal portrait of motherhood that reveals the heart of God for all mothers of all times. This book, filled with personal anecdotes and stories, will refresh your vision for biblical motherhood, renew your commitment to your precious children, and prayerfully bring the reviving Spirit of God into your home and family.”
I have not yet read this book, so it will be fresh for me. What do you think? Want to book club it together?
Maybe in The Coffee Talk Community?
Thoughts? Would you be in?
OOOH! This is SO my heart right now but I feel like I am in the middle of a MILLION books! When would you start?
Erin, good question! I don't know! Let me think…
This is one of my favorite books! I'd love to re-read it along with you!
I would love to join in!! This book looks awesome, and I am excited to see it is available on my nook! :)
I have never read it! I would love to read this book with you!
Peaceful wishes,
Melissa
This was the first book I ever read by Sally (about 4 years ago) and I fell in love with her!! She speaks my heart!
Something I still do that I learned in her book is tell "Joy Stories". (she writes about them on the very first page of the book and I immediately started applying it!) My daughter's middle name is joy – so I tell Alexis "joy" stories where she brings joy to the world! She LOVES them and always begs me to tell more. (I also tell spin-off stories for my son called "Alexender the Great – Hero" stories – stories where he is the hero for Jesus – he loves them too!)
I'm in – I'd love to read read it with you – I'm sure it will speak to new places in parenting as we are in a new season of life.

ME!!!ME!!! I found this book at a homeschool used book sale, and I have not had the time to read it. I would love to join along. Great idea. SHAWN
Great idea!! I would love to read it along with all of you. I purchased a copy and have read the first couple of chapters and love it. Looking forward to diving in!
Let us know when you are going to start. I would LOVE to read it, but I'm in the middle of a couple other books including "Shepherding a Child's Heart" and the "Parent's Handbook" and feel like my brain is being stretched and learning too much to add another book! Lol. But maybe I could catch up later or I could start with you if you're not starting right away. :)
Could be interesting. I just read Girls Gone Wise in a World Gone Wild, and am not sure what to do next. Maybe I'll join up!
I have been wanting to read this book – would love to read along.
I bought the book on Amazon recently and — just two days ago started reading the intro. Haven't gotten past that yet! Keep us updated!
This is an excellent book and the Ministry of Motherhood by Sally is a great follow up to this one! Great choice, when do you start??
I read 'Seasons…' by Sally about once a year!
I would love to join you. I just ordered it from Amazon!
Never heard of it, but it sounds awesome.
I just recently started this wonderful book. I am so happy I am going to read it with you. Let us know when you start and where to join together. smiles, Angelia in TX
I would love to read this!
I would love to!!
Count me in!! Sounds incredible and I've been hunting for a good book club! Tell me when and I'll be ready!
half way through it….awesome…count me in!
How circular the blog world is. I found "Raising Homemakers" and and was reading Simply Vintage Girl and they referenced you! I said out loud, "hey! i read her too!".
Anyways…
I love this book. It changed my life in many ways and confirmed my VERY difficult choice to quit my job at our church 7 months after my daughter was born. I had worked there for 6 years and was the Director of Children's Ministries. I loved it there. Loved my job. Adored it, really. It was so hard, but this book shed so much light on why it was such an important choice. It made me realize how important my job as a mother was. Amazing.
All of Sally Clarkson's books are a must read. If you ever have a chance to attend her conferences……..GO! Or if she is speaking at your homeschool conference……GO! She is so approachable and really has the pulse of where our hearts should be. Her daughter, Sarah Clarkson, also published a book called "Read for the Heart." Fabulous.
Oh wow! What a lovely book! I would love to join you in reading it! When would we start?
I would love to read it with you!! Can not wait–I miss the book club I used to be in–
I NEED to read this book! Let me know when you decide to start it.

I love this book. I'd love to read it along with everyone else.
Oh wow, I would LOVE to do this book club with you, but I'm actually starting my own blog book club shortly thereafter! I'll definitely keep this one in mind, though, because it looks like exactly the kind of book I'd enjoy and put to practical use in my home!
