Ebook: Where's Mom?: The High Calling of Wives and Mothers

Feminism promises women “liberation” from the home to pursue fulfillment in professional careers and public recognition, but can it deliver? Often women who have taken salaried jobs and titled positions have found themselves enslaved to the priorities of work and career. As a result many of these women face failures in child rearing and homemaking and find that the dual responsibilities of career and family may crowd out the time for personal creativity. Dorothy Patterson urges women to reconsider these priorities and not to forget who they are meant to be. An educated professional woman herself, Patterson probes several crucial questions about the high calling of wives and mothers in light of biblical teaching: Is homemaking a job? Is homemaking a challenging career? Is being a mother a worthy service? Is being a wife a fulfilling vocation? This book confronts the questions that the women of our generation are asking and provides straightforward, meaningful answers from God’s Word, giving guidance to women who want to be all they can be without forgetting who they are meant to be.
