This is a lovely book that brought wisdom and peace to me. I love how the author talks about your heart is where your home is. I never really thought about what all we place in our heart before reading this book. All those emotions, worries, heartaches and hopes are stored in our heart. The good news is that Jesus lives in our heart when we I give Him in. We need to realize that with Him in our heart some things need to go. I can think of a lot of things like anger, bitterness, loneliness or even unforgiveness.

Each chapter in the book is filled with topics that help us clear out our heart and begin to unclutter what is not of God. The first chapter was really good. Everyone knows we have to have a solid foundation in order to overcome things that are not Godly. I love the questions at the end of each chapter and also the scripture reading and prayer.

One of my favorite chapters is about the crack in the foundation. If you have ever experienced a crack in the foundation in your home, then you understand the devastation it can cause. What if that happens to your heart? When there is a crack it is from a lack of trust. I never thought of that but it makes perfect sense. If I’m afraid then I’m saying that I don’t trust God. When I become overwhelmed with anxiety, the crack is open to my heart where doubt is invited. I love the scripture that says, “trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on our own understanding.” Proverbs 3:5.

This would be an excellent book to use as a Bible study or as a gift to someone. It is an encouraging book with biblical examples as well as personal stories. Grab a copy for yourself and get a clearer picture of a pure heart.

If you are a first-time mother, know a first-time mother, or want to gain additional insight into motherhood, check out this book. Carol McLeod uses personal stories and insights of raising 5 children here on Earth and 5 children in Heaven to help illustrate her thoughts and ideas about this subject.

With Biblical support and an easy-to-read style, this book quickly had me caught up in the message. I attempted to savor the encouragement and sound advice provided in this book. As the mother of four children ages 24, 22, 20, and 18, I found wisdom within the pages of this book. So check out this book for yourself.

I remember the first time I saw my first born child. With tears streaming down my face I couldn’t imagine loving this child any more than I did at that moment. Days later reality sank in as my husband and I were all lone with this little baby. I had no clue what to do and no one to help us.

I would love to have had a book like this as I became a first time mother. The author gives sound advice for young mothers and encourages them to seek wisdom from experienced mothers. We as mothers don’t have all the answers, but we can give comfort and understanding to others. I never had a good relationship with my mother but she was there everyday to cook and wash clothes. After all these years, I can finally appreciate the things she did for me and my brothers. As we go through life, we make mistakes and mothers , you will have times that you feel like giving up. The author has written a book that examines the different rooms in our heart and expresses that , “the greatest work you will ever accomplish will be within the walls of your own home.”

The book is filled with biblical examples and scriptures that guide us to understand the importance of motherhood. I really enjoyed the chapter about teens. I wasn’t sure I would survive those years with my three boys. They each were different but similar as they tested my patience. I worried about them constantly and hovered over them almost smothering them. The author gives personal examples that I easily related to. I think this book would be an excellent gift for a baby shower. What a treasure to have this book to read as you prepare for motherhood. It can also be a great tool for parents to help them as they face uncertainty at times while raising a child.

One of the most profound things for me to read was when you become empty nesters. I have struggled with this for several years. My three boys and I are extremely close. When two of them moved out and got married, my heart hurt. I knew our relationship would change and I cried. The author says, “The more I hang on to my grown children, the more that I lose them ;conversely , the more that I allow them to be independent, the more that I have them.” This really opened my eyes and I thank the author for her words of wisdom in this area.

I highly recommend this book to all mothers of every age . It is filled with Godly wisdom and prayers that help us all grow stronger as mothers. The greatest gift we could ever have is being a mother and God is there to guide us as we raise His children.
