From AudioFile

A seasoned Christian author reads her thoughtful and well-organized book on how mothers can use God's love, their own nurturing instincts, and lessons from the Bible to raise their children. While her frequent use of biblical quotes threatens to overplay the idea of dependence on God's higher authority, she balances this tendency with careful consideration of a more ancient, and women-centered, brand of mothering. In spite of what sounds like her fundamentalist Christian moorings, she gives credit to women's innate wisdom and the powerful lessons that women have passed on to their daughters for eons. This innocent, beguiling lesson is hard to dislike even if fundamentalist Christianity is not your faith.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Biblical Wisdom, March 15, 2006

This review is from: A Mom After God's Own Heart: 10 Ways to Love Your Children (George, Elizabeth (Insp)) (Paperback)

As with all of Elizabeth George's books, A Mom After God's Own Heart is a solid, practical, and very BIBLICAL look at what it means to be a woman who seeks the Lord. This book is filled with excellent application for a mother's day to day life, yet succeeds in dealing with "heart issues" rather than just being a "to-do list." I was encouraged and inspired by this read.

This review is from: A Mom After God's Own Heart: 10 Ways to Love Your Children (George, Elizabeth (Insp)) (Paperback)

As a Mum of (almost) four under four and a half, I don't have time for airy theories. I need something that will help me at the coal face! This book is it. It has a strong scriptural basis and inspires me to be a better Mum in practical ways without drowning me in guilt about the dishes still in the sink or the tiredness I sometimes feel. Mrs George is a real Titus 2 woman!
