Homeschooling Mothers’ Bookclub

Seasons of a Mother’s Heart Bookclub concluding thoughts

August 26, 2013 by Amy Leave a Comment

Reading through this book slowly and thoughtfully has been most instructive and encouraging, don’t you think?  I’ve come away from this experience with the utmost of respect for Sally Clarkson as a mentoring mother and with a renewed spiritual vision for what I’m about here in my home as I bring up and homeschool my … [Read more…]

Wow! This is such a wonderful chapter.  I spent the Fall section of the book feeling very convicted, even slightly defeated (though I know this isn’t Sally’s intention at all).  This Winter section, though, is proving to be very encouraging (though also convicting).  I feel like Sally is really bringing it back around to foundational … [Read more…]
