Six Great Books for Mothers
Dear Mama,
I was recently asked what books I would recommend to a new mom. It took me a little while to answer, but then I said the Bible. When I went home, I thought about more books, and these are the ones I came up with.
1. The Bible: read the Bible. The whole Bible, from beginning to end, in chronological order. Use @thebiblerecap to help. I didn’t intend to use the Bible as a parenting book; it just became that. As I read/listened to phrases like “He is slow to anger” being repeated over and over, I suddenly found myself imitating our Lord and being slow to anger too.
2. Charlotte Mason’s volumes: Miss Mason has so much wisdom. Her wisdom is opening my eyes to a gentle approach to raising and educating children that genuinely excites me.
3. Books by @sally.clarkson. Her books are also filled with wisdom on how to raise godly children who love the Lord and put their home first. She also offers excellent advice to mothers on how to balance their spiritual and physical needs.
4. Books by @cindyordoamoris. Cindy Rollins is credited with coining the term "Morning Time." Her books teach you how to start your morning with the Bible and flow gently.
5. Books by @karenandreola. I cannot tell you how much I’m loving her book Mother Culture. It’s an easy read that teaches you how to have a good relationship with your children while taking care of yourself.
6. For the Children’s Sake: This book is a bonus book if you are thinking about homeschooling. She bases all her knowledge on Charlotte Mason’s volumes and writes about the benefits and reasons to homeschool.
What other books would you add to this list?
Warmly,
Mirley
