By Ellen G. White
“The king upon his throne has no higher work than has the mother. The mother is queen of her household. She has in her power the molding of her children’s characters, that they may be fitted for the higher, immortal.... Her work is for time and eternity.” In the pages of this book, Ellen White defines the ideal Christian home — and gives practical pointers on how to translate the ideal into real life.
This compilation offers counsel to Christian adults on many facets of home life: choosing a mate, child discipline, grandparents, holidays, hospitality, moral standards, divorce, living with an unbelieving spouse, and many more aspects that hugely impact day-to-day living. Very practical to use, it is divided into 18 sections for easy reference.
