It is a book that brings to life a loving, serving, nurturing family as a model for a needy world. Each chapter is a delightful revelation of the mothering art. The author has given us a chronicle of family spirit-building, of mothering and rearing children, that is a beacon on the present, bleak horizon where the family as an institution is under seige. The story imparts not only timeless principles, but images to inspire real beauty and truth in family relations, in Christ-like gentleness, authority, and power. It gives us this and all the elements of a beloved, read-aloud story, full of joy and pathos, and the pulses of family life. |
