Book Description

February 14, 2008
A mother's life is a whirlwind of seasons, changing from one to another without much warning, and then to another the next day. If your heart is prepared, you can adjust to whatever season comes upon you, weathering the changes with grace; if it is not, you will find yourself reeling and twisting in the winds of life, grasping for something or someone to hold onto. But that is the secret to weathering the seasons of life. You need something God s word, and someone Jesus Christ, to hold onto. They are what give you the grace to weather the seasons. Nothing else can...Only the revealed truth of God made alive in your heart through the Holy Spirit can. --from Seasons of a Mother's Heart

More About the Author

Sally Clarkson is the mother of four wholehearted children, a popular conference speaker, and the author of numerous books and articles on Christian motherhood and parenting, including The Mission of Motherhood, The Ministry of Motherhood, Seasons of a Mother's Heart, The Mom Walk, Dancing with My Father, and Educating the WholeHearted Child (contributor). After graduating from Texas Tech University with a degree in Speech/English, Sally joined the staff of Campus Crusade for Christ in 1975, and ministered to women in Communist Poland 1977-1980. Since her marriage to Clay in 1981, she has continued to minister to women and mothers worldwide. In 1994, she and Clay started Whole Heart Ministries to encourage and equip Christian parents to raise wholehearted Christian children. They write and publish books through Whole Heart Press, offer hotel and church-based parenting and motherhood events, and minister online through blogs, email newsletters, and their ministry website (wholeheart.org).

Through her books and speaking ministries, God has used Sally to bring encouragement and inspiration to mothers who desire to follow God's biblical design for their lives. All of her messages are filled with stimulating biblical instruction, touching personal anecdotes and illustrations, and wise spiritual insights born out of her own experience in life and ministry.

5.0 out of 5 stars Uplifting and encouraging, February 28, 2010
By 
Staying home and educating your kids can be wonderfully isolated from the crazy world. Sometimes that isolation doesn't seem so wonderful. This book was so encouraging. I continue to refer back to it when I am losing the wind in my sails. It reminds me why my work with my kids is so important. It lifted my spirits knowing others had walked this path before me and finished the race. It calms my spirit to know that through the winter, I can always depend to the spring to come again. I am not the only woman out here struggling. I can endure.

I recommend this for Moms who have homeschooled for years, and are tired and struggling to continue. I also recommend it for those just beginning the journey.

Just finished reading this. It is very good!! Sally Clarkston is very real and open. She talks about the ups and downs of Mothering. The Joys and the sorrows. What she should have done differently and despite it all things still turned out great. She makes you stop and think about Mothering. What is Mothering? Where are you at in your Mothering? It's interesting to look at each chapter of Mothering as a season. Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter. While reading her book you won't feel like you are being talked down to or that you don't quite hit the mark. I came away feeling encouraged and renewed and ready to try again.

If you need some encouraging in your Mothering - - I would recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Encouragement for the calling!, July 27, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Sally Clarkson shares in way that authentic and genuine. I appreciate her passion in encouraging mothers in their calling to minister to their families FIRST. In our culture today, women are told that being a wife and mother is not "fulfilling." Sally is able to articulate well, that when we reconfigure our perspective and purposes to align with GOD's design, we will be fulfilled in way that is far more rewarding than we can imagine. As in every aspect of life, there are seasons and when we view this calling of motherhood in that way we are able to be more prepared for each one and find the joy and meaning in each one. Much can be gleaned from each one! I highly recommend this book and hope that many mothers will be encouraged in their calling!
