A few days ago I finished a book called Mothering Heights by Keith Smith and Susan Brereton. I have to say that this book came to me at the right time. The book explores the challenges that mothers face while raising children and offers encouragement through stories, advice, and tips. Can't we always use a little encouragement and parenting advice for our little ones?
Mothering Heights takes a unique approach to address these issues by quoting notable classic novels such as Sense and Sensibility, Treasure Island, and Great Expectations. NOW, I must say I am not a reader of Classic Novels and admit that I hadn't heard of many of the titles listed in the book, but this didn't stop me from enjoying Mothering Heights. In addition, each chapter contained biblical versus which only reinforced the ideals in the book.
Any Christian mother or mother to be would benefit from reading this book. Especially if there are times that you question your parenting decisions. After reading a sample chapter here, you can pick up a copy of Mothering Heights for $15.00 from Judson Press. Enjoy it!
