I've been trying to figure out how I can host a book club during the day and without kids. Kind of impossible. Last summer a couple of friends came over during the afternoon. Our girls napped upstairs while we discussed Same Kind of Different as Me. It was great, but probably not likely to happen again this summer.
When Jessica from Who Left the Light On? contacted me about this online "book club", I was thrilled. Perfect timing. We'll be reading through The Ministry of Motherhood by Sally Clarkson and looking at some scripture that kind of goes along with the reading. I'm excited to be held accountable to read scripture and process it, read the book and blog about it, and ultimately grow as a mom, person, and daughter of the King. You all know that this stay-at-home mom gig wasn't what I had in mind, but the journey that we've gone through as a family has really been rewarding.
I love this: If you feel like a hamster on a wheel–you’re running, but you’re not getting anywhere–then The Ministry of Motherhood is for you! Sally Clarkson inspires us to step off that wheel and parent with purpose, not by adding something else to our hectic schedules but by bringing God into everything we do. With down-to-earth, practical examples, she shows us how we, too, can build disciples as we reach our children’s hearts. A very encouraging and easy-to-read book!
