I have only just begun to read
The Mission of Motherhood by Sally Clarkson, but it has been so thought provoking and revealing. I just can't help but wonder how it is that we Christians have bought into the lies that motherhood is not a career worthy of our entire focus. How is it that we have allowed society to change our values? Why?
Many in our culture today look at the biblical view of family, children, and gender roles with much disdain and difficulty. But we must nonetheless consider that God himself directed through his Word that it was a "very good" design, the best plan for bringing about his purposes on earth and for blessing all people. p. 29
It seems that more and more today our culture is striving to be in opposition of God's perfect design. And where has that gotten us? Each step away has adverse effects.
When the biblical mission of motherhood is devalued and disappears from culture, the whole next generation suffers morally, emotionally, and spiritually. p. 34
Is there really anything more important, as a mother, for our family and our society, than dedicating your entire life to the mission of motherhood?
