Présentation de l'éditeur

A novel with a purpose: To teach and inspire parents to develop the young lives entrusted to your care.

“If, by reading this little book, any mother shall see wherein she can improve upon her past teaching, and thus be able to do more for the spiritual and moral well-being of her children, the writer will feel amply rewarded. May the blessing of God attend it as it goes forth.”

“How delightful to step into the home where God is counselor of both parent and child! How blessed the companionship in such a home! There God counsels in sweet, tender tones. He teaches his will and gives the needed wisdom. God is man's truest and best teacher. James says, "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally ... and it shall be given him." Be the home ever so beautiful, if it is not a house of prayer, it is not a place of true happiness. Parents should often commune with the Lord; especially the mother, with her many cares and perplexities, if she would do justice to the little ones entrusted to her care.”

The Value of a Praying Mother is a heartwarming and inspiring book encouraging the cultivation of a godly Christian home. The chapters in this book cover a wide variety of topics, including prayer, early training, consecration, conscience, the Christian experience, blessing and trial, temptations, decision-making, self-control, and a number of other topics of interest to Christian parents and children. It is a must for the parent of every homeschooler and to parents to read to their children. The following excerpt is just one of many which demonstrates the tone of this book: "Bessie," she began when ready for the talk, "I have some important things to tell you today. I wish to speak of your future. There comes a time in the life of every girl when she must change from childhood to womanhood; she can not always remain a child. Until this time arrives, she is very dependent and must lean entirely upon her parents' advice; but as her mind begins to mature, she should be taught the necessity of weighing matters well and of finding out God's will.”
