Queen of the Home {with Giveaway!}


So I got this email from Jen McBride last week offering to send me her book.  She asked if I could  read and review it.  No need to send me a book, says I. I read it looong ago and have re-read it a few times since. It is sitting on my shelf now and currently looking quite loved-on.

Friends, if you are hungry for some eternal perspective in the difficult task of motherhood and homemaking, this is the book for you. It is a treasure trove full of encouragement and vision. With generous quotes and passages from authors both historic and modern, the book powerfully and boldly inspired me to "keep" a home that reflects God's grace and goodness.

In a generation that has, sadly, swallowed the lies of feminism and dismissed the role of women in the home as outdated and unneeded, Queen of the Home will remind you of your divine mission: the people that God has called you to serve.  The work He has given you to do that will extend to the next generation and beyond.

One aspect of Queen of the Home that I especailly enjoyed were the portions of the book addressed to daughters in the family.  Called to be strong pillars in a home (Psalm 144:12), daughters are encouraged and exhorted to fear the Lord and esteem purity, modesty and be a blessing to their families.

Right now, Jen's book is on sale at Vision Forum for only $8!!  This is such a bargain!  Get yourself an extra to give as a gift to a friend.

Jen is offering one of you a free copy of this marvelous book. Just follow the instructions in the rafflecopter below.

I would love to have this book. Thanks for the giveaway. We love Vision Forum and have come to trust their book choices in raising our children. Raising Maidens of Virtue and Joyfully at Home have been fantastic reads for my girls. This sounds like a good read for me.
