Book review: My Heart's at Home
During the summer I participated in a Facebook group book study on the book My Heart's at Home by Jill Savage. This is one of the books by this author I had not read yet so I was excited to get the book and read it.
In this book the author writes about the importance of home to a family. Using the analogy of building a house, she gives ideas of how to make your home a safe, welcome place for all the members of your family. Chapters include Home as a Rest Area, Home as a Playground, Home as a Church, Home as a School, and Home as a Trauma Unit to name a few. There are also chapters discussing the role of the children, Mom, Dad and the Mom and Dad as partners.
I gained so much from this book and think it would be beneficial for all mothers to read. It has very practical, real ideas to use in your home as well as stories from Jill and other Mom's that were inspirational to read.
Other wonderful books I recommend by this author include the following: Living With Less, Real Moms Real Jesus, and Professionalizing Motherhood. All of these are excellent resources I keep in my personal library. If you need encouragement as a Mom, any of these would be great!
Have a day of blessings!
