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

By	E. Baker (California) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars beautiful, down to earth, scriptural book, September 12, 2008

By	Jessica L. Guest (Tasmania, Australia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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!
