Seasons of a Mother's HeartSeasons of a Mother's Heart, Revised
By Sally Clarkson
I am THRILLED to have this book back in print! It is one of my favorites - one I have read about once a year during the past decade I've been homeschooling.

"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

Encouragement for Your Seasons

Your heart will be encouraged as you read the touching stories, spiritual insights, and personal lessons that are the seasons in Sally Clarkson’s life.

Passionate Housewives, Desperate for GodPassionate Housewives, Desperate for God
by Stacy McDonald and Jennie Chancey
In true Titus 2 style, two women paint a beautiful picutre of the truly fulfilled homemaker who glories in the hopeful calling God created for her.

The authors quickly dispel the myth of the "perfect wife" and dig deep to lay a firm foundation, built on God's word. You don't have to be perfect, just passionate to serve God and allow Him to work His best for you! This is not a "how-to" book; you won't find practical tips on home management or homeschool curriculum, instead you'll be challenged to consider "why" we can confidently stand against the tide of secular feminism (both in the world and in the church) and embrace our calling as wives and mothers.

Family Man, Family Leader By Philip Lancaster
For more than ten years, Philip Lancaster has been instilling hope, and calling fathers to their rightful duties as family prophets, priests, protectors, and providers. He has emerged as one of the most articulate and theologically-sound defenders of the biblical family. Through his magazine Patriarch, Phil has reached thousands with both the vision and the tools necessary for family revival. Now, in his first book, Phil lays — in simple, easy-to-understand concepts — the biblical foundation necessary for men to turn their hearts to home and change the world.This is not a "light" read -- written from a conservative view, the author has tackled many tough subjects and really causes the reader to ponder their own views on family life and leadership.

Family Man, Family Leader
first presents the vision of biblical household leadership. Next, it addresses the many practical issues necessary for achieving victory as a man, from learning and acting upon God’s priorities, to decision-making as a father, to growing in oneness with your wife, to personal accountability before the Lord and victory over secret sins. Whether you are a veteran visionary father, or a dad just beginning the journey of patriarchy, this book is a great source of inspiration and practical help
