WOW!!!

I agree that this is hard to put down. There were several chapters that made me want to laugh and cry all at the same time. Thanks for penning my thoughts so eloquently. I definitely feel understood and encouraged...

Wife and Mother - Can there be any greater future-impacting calling?!?

I have just finished reading this incredible book. My only complaint is that I found it almost impossible to put down. I wanted to use it as a morning devotional, but I could not make myself stop with just one chapter per day. It truly opened my eyes(and more times than not, filled them with tears), to the reality that being a wife and mother IS a ministry in God's work and it comes with a myriad of rewards that we will continue to see through years to come. Mrs. DeMuth becomes like one of your best friends that you can't wait to hear from each day just to find out what she will say. I plan on starting from the beginning and enjoying this "treasure" all over again. Thank you, Mrs. DeMuth, for your obedience to God in writing these words of wisdom and experience. I hope there will be more to come.

What an inspiration!

I just finished Demuth's book and it was wonderful! From the beginning to the final page I smiled, sighed and nodded my head. She has such a talent for weaving words and phrases into a beautiful tapestry of family and faith. I felt included, enlightened and refreshed. I highly recommend it for every mom.

This Book Touches a Mother's Heart in a Positive Way

Mary DeMuth has written an insightful book all moms will be able to identify with. Using her life as a backdrop for the challenges and joys all moms face, she finds valuable life lessons in both the ordinary and the extraordinary. Her manner of leading readers to a new way of thinking is gentle, encouraging, friendly and helpful. I benefited immensely and know my kids will too as a result. I highly recommend this book!
