Commentary During Books Mother

This is a difficult age to be a woman. The woman who aspires to raise children for the glory of God, to develop the ministry of the home, or to co-labor with her husband is deemed “old-fashioned” or “unfulfilled.” The modern lure of independence and career has bewitched an entire generation to exchange the beauty of Christian womanhood for the temporary enticements of a society at war with the family.

Amidst this confusion, Kathleen Norris’s Mother is a refreshing call to sanity. Mother is the fictional tale of a young lady who leaves home and repudiates family life in the hope of finding personal fulfillment through independence and a career. She decides that home life is a poor choice in the face of life in the big city. But God dramatically changes her heart as she realizes that wealth and position are illusory and that independence can enslave a young lady. She discovers that the greatest woman she has ever known is her mother and now she longs for home and motherhood.

After reading this book, editor Jennie Chancey wrote, “That night, I opened the book, intending to read a chapter or two before bed. An hour passed before I realized how far I had read. I could not put the book down and finished it just shortly before midnight. As I turned the last page, tears filled my eyes. I knelt by my bed and asked God to forgive me for my bitterness and my unwillingness to trust and obey Him.”

Vision Forum is pleased to offer this restored and revised version of the 1911 classic in the hope that girls will once again aspire to be like their mothers.

This book may also be known as "Belle-Mere" as Triangle Books has such a title listed under this author's name.

Evaluate About Books Mother

I think this is probably one of the best books I have read. It is so refreshing to read. About a girl with 7 siblings who lives in a small country town and works as a teacher. She then gets a job in a big city with a rich employer. While she is there, she listens to the "rich" peoples' conversations about how having so many children is such a burden. She, herself, starts wondering how her mother can be so content with housework, children, etc. The ending is wonderful and this book is a must

This is a very light but pleasant read about a young woman who is disillusioned with her lot in life (one of seven children in a small rundown house in a small rundown town) and longs for the "real life" of pleasure and ease.By coincidence she meets a high society lady who offers her a job as a private secretary in the woman's NY family mansion. She finally experiences life as she imagined it. But is it all it's chalked up to be? And what happens when your beau finds out your true origins? Will

What a sweet, quick read.

Such a lovely story! You can read it in an afternoon. The ending will make you smile!

This was a light and joyful read. Throughout reading I reflected on myself as mother....the kind of mother I am and want to be....and the ways I want my children to remember me. I also felt myself relating to the main character, as I too remember having feeling like she did during that life stage. This will be a lovely book to share with my daughters, and I'm thankful my reading partner Karen selected this book for us!

I loved this book! Such a great reminder of the fulfilling calling of motherhood.

I thoroughly enjoyed this quick read! What a great reminder of the importance of the high-calling we call motherhood. There are few things in this life greater than the tender, loving care of a devoted mother. This book is a beautiful reminder of the blessing of "Mother."
