Teaching Choral Concepts

Review

     This delightful book extols the role of the home-maker, proclaiming it to be a high and noble calling--an essential function of inestimable worth! 

Many people are not aware of all that mothers do, nor do they realize the value and importance of "mother's work." Some people, men as well as women, regard full-time mothering as "downtime" in the life of a woman--a time when talents and personal growth are put on a shelf to gather dust until some magical future time when the children are gone and women can concentrate on their own goals and self-fulfilling activities. 

This book addresses the concerns and frustrations women feel, and elaborates on some of the exciting, fulfilling and important responsibilities others have in their role as homemakers. The author shows them how to catch the vision of their role and calling, and motivates them to learn and grow as they meet their daily challenges. She emphasizes the many rewards homemakers reap, if they will but recognize them, and she helps them see their callings from an eternal perspective. 

With its many choice stories and examples, this book will help every woman who reads it rejoice in her opportunities and blessings as a mother and homemaker in Zion. Great reading for women everywhere!
