Mother

I am ashamed to say that "avid" has not necessarily been the word to describe my summer reading appetite. However, I did just complete a book that I would highly recommend. It has never been hailed as a poetic work or a classic of all time but its message is profound. It's title is one word - Mother. This 202 page book is about a young woman who lives with her dear, lovable family in the Midwest. Suddenly she is handed a chance to work for a rich woman and see the world. Slowly, as the years slide on, a disdain grows in her heart for her family. But through a series of events, the young woman’s eyes are opened to behold one of the richest, most influential females whose wealth is not stored on this earth. She is one of greatest woman who claims no title other than Mother.

The roles of a wife and mother are under attack in Today’s’ society (even in Christian circles). I think it is vital to remind ourselves of God’s design in establishing the role of Biblical womanhood. Whether you are young and single or married and in the midst of motherhood grasping for encouragement, Mother would be an excellent choice for a relaxing summer read.

And thanks… to all of the moms of yesterday and today. May God be with the ones of tomorrow.
