<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Using the analogy that a woman's heart is a home, author shares personal and biblical accounts with the goal of encouraging young women to embrace the calling of motherhood and older mothers to look back fondly on the trials and triumphs of raising their children"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>For thousands of years and in a myriad of cultures, women have forged identity, unconditional love, and vast purpose in the calling of motherhood. From Eve to Sarah, from Ruth to Mary, the Scriptures are filled with the accounts of the heart of a mother who was given a divine opportunity to raise the next generation for the purposes and call of the Father. <p/> Inside the soul of every mother lies a heart that becomes a repository of sweet memories, hard lessons, glorious victories, ordinary days, glaring failures, and God's grace over the years of mothering. The heart of a mother becomes home to jokes around the dinner table, holiday traditions, the tears of childhood, and the love that only a mother knows. And this tender heart that has given birth to the future of mankind or has lovingly adopted the seeds of the next generation also develops rooms of unsurpassed greatness and quiet strength. These are the <i>Rooms of a Mother's Heart</i>. <p/> With her characteristic charm, joy, and biblical teaching that she shares like a good friend over a cup of coffee, Carol McLeod examines what it means to be a mother and offers tender encouragement to all women who accept that calling.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><i>Rooms of a Mother's Heart </i>by Carol McLeod is a book that is desperately needed in today's culture.

Carol has been a dear friend, sister, and mentor to me for over a decade.
