Can't reccomend

Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2023

There is a lot of sound, biblical advice in this little book... there is also a lot of opinion presented as truth and I simply couldn't reccomend this book freely. Particularly the chapter on raising sons. There is some wisdom on boys need for respect and learning to work, but then the author says boys must be told to stuff their feelings, to not cry or show weakness and pain. I believe this is unbiblical, Jesus himself was a very emotional man and unafraid to show it, and dangerous as its raising boys to believe their hearts don't matter.
I'd suggest extreme caution and discernment with this book. Yes, there's some good, but be prepared to encounter some ideas that are harmful and just not biblical.

Quick read, Great practical advice

Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2014

Verified Purchase

If you are a mom or know a mom who needs great practical advice this is a perfect book. Nancy Wilson is clear and straightforward.

I absolutely love it. Some of her tips I do already, but others I have never thought of. For example, why we should have manners. Not to be above others, but to show courtesy in a loving godly way.

I have made it as far as the sons chapter and am so pleased.

One of my favorite pieces of advice that she gives to mothers is that we must love our children even when they are unlovable. Think teenagers can be so unlovable at times. God has done this for us! We must do this for our children.

I picked up 3 copies to gift to moms I know!

Inspiring!

Mrs. Wilson forced me to look at my own mothering and home management with this book. She has inspired me to be better and do better in my home in a way that was loving and firm but not condescending. I feel like she is the Titus 2 woman, training me in this season of parenting little ones. I know I will be referencing back to this book many times in the future!

Succinct look at Christian parenting

Nancy Wilson's writing style is very direct. She's not quite as "take no prisoners" as her husband Doug Wilson can be in his books, but she also doesn't convey the same charm and wit that sweetens Doug's spiciness.
I appreciate the scripture index included at the end, and I encourage readers to read those scripture passages in their greater context. Nancy's scripture quotes are correct, but sometimes the greater context points to a different, larger meaning.

There are many books for the Christian woman to choose from. Many of those books contain "fluff" that makes you feel good for a moment, but leaves you empty with no clear path ahead. Not Nancy Wilsons, she takes you deep and gives a clear vision of Christian living. Nancy Wilson is that godly mentor you have been praying for.

Life Changing

Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2020

As a female who grew up in an atheist household with a working mom, this book has been life changing! Although I converted to Christianity in college, I’ve had a long and conflicting road to my Christian lifestyle. As a military spouse for several years after college, I have never had a Christian mentor but Nancy serves as one for me through this book.

Thank you Nancy

Nancy is always brief, but packs a powerful punch. Only the Lord knows the impact that their family’s faithfulness in ministry has and will continue to have on me and how that has changed the course of my family and their families forever. So thankful for sisters in Christ who are older women teaching the younger women

Nancy Wilson

Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2019

Verified Purchase

My wife has been greatly blessed by Nancy Wilson. We live in a very saturated liberal community and don’t have many recourses for scriptural womanhood. My wife and I have read through three of Nancy’s books now on kindle and we are planning to purchase hard copies for our home library as well as a few for family members.
