This review is from: Finding Your Purpose as a Mom: How to Build Your Home on Holy Ground (Paperback)

When I bought this book, I needed a focus when it came to motherhood. I simply felt overwhelmed and undone to say the least. The introduction alone, inspired me to get up off my hinny and become a better mother. I now how a focus--a Purpose! This is more of a motivational book then a how-to and it was exactly what I needed. I needed to find my drive again. I already know the things I need to be doing, but I had lost my staminia in the race of parenthood.

This review is from: Finding Your Purpose as a Mom: How to Build Your Home on Holy Ground (Paperback)

I was feeling sorry for myself one day, thinking that my home and family were getting in the way of me being involved in some big, important ministry, when I stumbled across the author of this book being interviewed on the radio. She talked about how important our homes are to God--as well as the relationships within them. I wanted to know more, so I bought the book. It was awesome! It taught me that as a mom, my primary ministry IS my home! The way I maintain my home and live with others in my home is my training ground for the "bigger" things! There is so much good information in her book. I would strongly suggest reading it if you are a mom feeling frustrated and restless in your role. Donna Otto does a great job of explaining how much our homes and families matter to God. I realize now that I don't HAVE to yearn for something more significant. I have plenty of important things to do for God within the walls of my own home--serving Him by serving my family for His glory. (I liked the book so much I formed a small group of moms from my church and we are studying this book together!)

This review is from: Finding Your Purpose as a Mom: How to Build Your Home on Holy Ground (Paperback)

The sub-title How to Build Your Home on Holy Ground is a more suitable title for this book because Donna Otto deals with a wealth of topics about home life, not just parenting. Donna is inspiring Christian women to be all they can be, beginning with their hearts and working out from there to make their homes a haven for their family and for others. Any mom, and especially homemakers, who need inspiration and encouragement should read this book. It would also be great for a group study.
