Excellent Encouragement for the Christian Family!

This book succinctly describes the beauty of the role of each member in the biblical family. It has been a source of hope and encouragement, in my walk as a Christian mother. Home making dwells on the importance of raising a godly family today, to reap the blessings therein, tomorrow.

I wished I had read this 15 years ago!

I think this book would be great for Newly Married couples. Dont let the girly looking cover fool you. Its packed full of examples on how to treat others. In the intro it said "the aim is to mark out duties and responsibilities of each member of the household..." I really enjoyed it and will have my children read it too.

Another Must-Have for Serious Biblical Homemaking

I have purchased 3 of this book and given them all away - two for wedding showers and one for my daughter's hope chest. It is a wholesome and biblically-based treatise for the centrality of home in a woman's life and focus. J.R. Miller does an excellent job at extolling the virtues of homemaking in a way that draws young women's hearts - sometimes challenged by the outward call of the culture- to whole-hearted preparation of the sanctuary of home for their families. Older women can be rekindled in their passion for their families and serving them in the God-honored position as mother and wife.

Highly Recommended!

This is probably one of the best books I have ever read. Despite the title, it is not just for housewives, it speaks intimately to each of the various roles within a home. To the husband, the wife, the parents, the children, brothers and sisters. Encouraging each member of the family to work together to make their home blessed retreat. Practical and poetic, it simultaneously presses my nose to the grindstone and sends my heart soaring with joy. A must read for the serious Christian family!

A MUST for Every Family!

DON'T LET THE TITLE FOOL YOU! It's not another how to wash the dishes or how to keep a cleaner house,but rather a guide for every family member to do their part in making the home everything God intended it to be. It has the following chapters: The Wedded Life (perfect for those engaged, so they know what they are committing to); The Husband's Part; The Wife's part; The Parents' Part; The Childrens' Part; Brothers and Sisters; The
Home-Life; Religion in the Home; Home Memories. Each chapter deals with a different person in the home...one excerpt says, "In home-making each member of the family has a part, and the fullest happiness and blessedness of the home can be attained only when each one's part is faithfully fulfilled. If any one member of the family fails in love or duty, the failure mars the whole household life, just as one discordant voice in a company of singers spoils the music, though all the others sing in perfect accord." It's an amazingly awesome book and is written in 19th century poetic style, making it very enjoyable to read! I was extremely impressed, as was my husband. The wisdom within the pages of this book are priceless and what's amazing, is that it is still relevent for today! However, it does raise the bar and will challenge everyone within the family. (It really zones in on how to treat one another) It's not too demanding, but very scriptural, the same standards that are in the Word of God. It will inspire you moms, and will show you the eternal value of raising your children...it's uplifting and made me (as a mom) feel like I'm doing a more worthy job than leading a corporation,
or being the Queen of England! I only wish I had read this book 15 years earlier, when my kids were very little.

Don't let the title fool you. This is not just a book for women who keep home. Home-Making is an uncompromising vision statement for the domestic bliss and cultural dominion of the Christian family. The message of Home-Making is powerful: "Sisters, Brothers, Husbands, Wives -- Home life is meant to be beautiful, ennobling, and victorious!" God intends for each person, from parent to child, to play a role in family life, the ultimate goal of which is the transformation of the individual, the home and the society for the glory of God.

Miller writes things that we know are true and that we need to hear, but everyone is afraid to say. He carefully addresses each member of the family and somehow manages to find the perfect balance between inspiration and exhortation.
