Recommended: “My Other Name Is Mom”

[RZehr]

This is a book that was recently gifted to my wife, and as she read me excerpts, my curiosity was piqued. So I read it.
My Other Name Is Mom, embracing the realities of Godly motherhood. Written by Mary Burkholder. The book says about her “I live in southwest Mississippi and belong to Darbun Mennonite Church where my husband is a pastor. Five children call me mom. I enjoy early mornings, a just-cleaned house, good times with my family and friends, and writing and coffee.”
Touches on the desire and lack thereof, for children. Feminism. Equality. Romance. Social Life. Supermom. Christ. This is not a child raising how-to book.
I thought it well written and very true to Biblical teachings.

My wife seconds your opinion. She has enjoyed that book very much.
