About This Book

The work contends that a mother’s persistent prayer and spiritual leadership are central to a child’s moral and religious formation. Blending a biblical illustration, true-life anecdotes, and chaptered instruction, it presents practical guidance on early training, conscience development, self-control, parental authority, and responding to temptation and trial. Episodes and testimonies demonstrate answers to prayer and the harmful effects of neglectful or corrupt environments, while discussions of consecration and Christian experience model how faith can be explained to children. The concluding material offers direct exhortations and actionable hints for mothers who wish to nurture character and faith in the home.
