A Woman After God's Heart

A woman After God's Own Heart by Elizabeth George
The latest book I am reading. And what a treasure it is!!


Elizabeth George shares practical, scriptural insights on how you can pursue God's priorities concerning:

~ Your husband - - foster a deep commitment to serve and honor him.


~ Your children -- pray faithfully for them and teach them God's Word.

~ Your home -- create a nurturing atmosphere and a tapestry of beauty

~ Your walk with the Lord -- grow through love of Scripture and in discipleship

~ Your ministry -- learn to reach out and become an encourager


Only wished I had found this book years ago. I am certain it would have been a tremendous help thus far in my parenting and marriage, and walk with the Lord.



Another book I have read several years ago and loved, was the book called The Power of a Praying Wife, by Storime Omartian. It was very good too. And I found it to be very helpful. I have read and reread it!



   Also early on in my parenting when we just had 2 and my oldest was about 3 years old, a longtime friend put me on the mailing list for the Above Rubies magazines. Now that has to be the greatest thing that has impacted my mothering and being a wife. I am ever grateful for the Above Rubies ministries by Nancy Campbell, and the magazines she puts out. The encouragement and inspiration in those magazines have really kept me going as a wife and mother. I have gleaned so much form her. I also have been able to attend 3 Above Rubies ladies retreats and got to hear Nancy Campbell speak. And now I have the very great privilege to be part of organizing an Above Rubies ladies retreat in my area of Alberta!! I am so excited! It is only 2 months away now to be held June 5th-7th, 2015. I praise the Lord for making it all possible!!



Nancy Campbell has written several books and teaching manuals as well as the magazine too. Two of hers that I have and love are The Power of Motherhood, and The Gate Keeper of The Home. These are the kind of books that you want to have on your bed stand to reread and refresh your memory from time to time. Nancy's husband Collin has written a very great book for men called, Where Are the Real Men of God, which we have as well and my husband has read to the family during our devotional time



    I believe God has given us all the information we need for being the great Godly wives and mothers that we need to be and He wants us to be, right in His Word the BIBLE. But some good godly authors do a really great job of bring all those goodies out of the Bible, making it easier for us to read and grasp and to put into practice. And I thank the Lord for these authors like the ones I have mentioned above that have read and researched their Bibles deeply about the topics of mothering and marriage and have took time to write these books.

May we all diligently seek and desire to be a woman after God's own.
 In Him, Mae
