Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book engages with the concept of Christian motherhood, arguing mothers ought to take on the primary responsibility of educating their children, while acknowledging the inevitable domestic duties and claims of their husbands. The author's compelling case against outsourcing education to boarding schools or governesses is built on Christian principles and an understanding of the nature and purpose of women and children in society. The author presents alluring examples that subtly criticize the neglect and selfishness inherent in many contemporary parenting choices, and raises questions around the priorities of the average mother. At the same time, the book highlights the wonderful and fulfilling advantages a mother's teachings can provide to children under her care, ultimately establishing the significance of her role in the formation of their virtue.
