I have known Mrs. Sharon White online for many years. She has been a dear friend who has given me advice on more than one occasion. Her blog, The Legacy of Home, is one of my absolute favorites to read as well. If ever I am in need of encouragement in my homemaking, I know I can go to her blog to have my resolve quickened once again.
So when she asked that I review her book, For The Love of Christian Homemaking: Pleasant Visits from my Parlour
Come and sit awhile in Mrs. White's parlor and be transported back in time. Mrs. White is a full time homemaker who takes her job seriously. Oh and yes, it is a job! If you have ever doubted that, this book will remind you of the importance of your job as a Christian homemaker. For The Love of Christian Homemaking
I am so glad this book is in print because now whenever I want to, I can pick it up and read a page or two and be encouraged to go about my day doing my best to make an excellent home for my family. I am not talking about perfection here, but about really making an effort to make things sweet and lovely in the home. The different entries are not very long or time-consuming to read, but they are full of treasures. This book is such a wonderful blessing because we can be so easily discouraged as homemakers in a world that often scoffs at our occupation. When I read Mrs. White's book I am reminded that my job as a homemaker really is important, and I am inspired to do an even better job, because she speaks with such love of homemaking, and with such high regard for the tasks that it requires.
I think I want to go read some more now!
