Picture a homeschooling mother who has had very little sleep. She awakens to one child who is out of sorts and grumpy, a mess that wasn't cleaned up properly by the person responsible, another child who is dawdling with his schoolwork, a baby who is irritable because of illness, and a husband who needs her to help him that morning with something. Is it possible for such a mother to respond to it all with gentleness, sympathy and kindness? Yes, it is, but only with God's help! And the book of Proverbs contains many precious and helpful truths to help moms deal with the struggles and temptations that come with homeschooling. This devotional book explains and applies fifty of these precious verses, and also gives references to other Bible passages for further study on the topics Proverbs addresses. Wisdom from Proverbs: Devotions for Homeschooling Moms is a book that could be used in a personal daily quiet time, as a study guide for a homeschool support group, or as a reference book for moms who struggle with the issues that Proverbs addresses.

First off, this book is NOT only for homeschooling moms. I bought this book as a gift for my wife who doesn't homeschool our kids in a formal setting, but every mother is a teacher to their children. At first she wondered why I would give her this book since she doesn't homeschool our children. But she has loved it ever since she picked it up and carries it with her everywhere so she can read whenever she has a chance.
Mrs. Coyle has done a great job of unfolding the wisdom from Proberbs to easily apply to any person. I have been convicted at times from the things my wife has shared with me from her readings from this book.
If you want to invest in the lives of your children, I highly recommend this book. Society has left our children as orphans, but we must never abandon our duty to teach our children. Teaching our children is truly priceless.

I love the way this book explains the verses in Proverbs and then applies it in a real way to homeschooling moms or any mom for that matter. It's a perfect little daily devotional with genuine nuggets of truth that will challenge and encourage moms. I've also found it a perfect gift for moms and especially homeschooling moms.
