4.0 out of 5 stars Stark Truth Difficult to Read But If You Are Looking..., February 13, 2000
By Kaitlyn "Futureparadox" (Upper Midwest, USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: All the Way Home: Power for Your Family to Be Its Best (Paperback)
If you are a Christian woman who needs help redefining your purpose in life because you don't have children, BUY this book. If you are a wife and/or mother who is tired of society (NC17 & violent media, TV, video, music, etc) defining you....and you/your childrens wants and needs, this is the book for you too.

The author presents common sense in a friendly, motherly way and, at the same time, in a shockingly straight-forward manner with frequent support she draws from scripture. She views most things in black and white and can be somewhat tactless in phrasing some of her more stark conclusions. Many of her points are valid though. The primary actions she suggest will go a long way toward simplifying and bringing new meaning into your life. Many alternative activities are provided from lots of sources.

This is a book that I found (and still find) difficult to absorb at times. I usually read a few pages and then work on absorbing it for several days. It can be difficult to face the responsiblity of your own actions and how they affect others around you, including your spouse and children. The book stresses parental & personal responsibility. She stresses repeatedly that a parent's job is hard work and lots of it.

One final note: if you are desperate to have a child by any means necessary....I recommend that you check the book out of a local library first. This book offers you options that you may not want to hear and thus, not pay for. You may find this book brings you insight you never thought possible and decide to purchase it after all. I did.

5.0 out of 5 stars The "How to" book from her first book "The Way Home", February 12, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: All the Way Home: Power for Your Family to Be Its Best (Paperback)
I have 4 boys and felt that the world was pretty tough on moms who stayed home. But in reading this book, I realized that what I am doing is perfectly OK! As a matter-of-fact, my family has decided that we would leave our family planning to God! Mary Pride has truly re-enforced the concept of back to the basics in living your life as a traditional mother and father. The world is filled with anti-child thinking (ex: family planning, children are incovenient etc.) She really has helped open our eyes on the truth about family life. We are now homeschooling our children, and seriously looking into home birthing our next child(ren).

5.0 out of 5 stars A Clarion Call for Biblical Thinking, July 20, 2002
This review is from: All the Way Home: Power for Your Family to Be Its Best (Paperback)
What a tremendous book for any serious minded Christian, who wants to order his family along biblical lines. Mary's hard-line stance on many issues may offend some, but her entirely biblical perspective is a wake-up call to all who want to make a difference in our society through the way we build and maintain our families. I highly recommend this book!
