Resumen del Editor

Women shaped the men who changed the world.

History tells of women whose love for the Bible shaped its earliest and most prominent teachers. It tells of women who were great theologians in their own right, yet whose only students were their own children. It tells, time and time again, of Christian men who owe so much to their godly mothers. Raising children to honor and glorify the Lord is the goal of every Christian mother, but how can you do that? Who can teach you?

One of the best ways to learn is to read or listen to examples of women who have succeeded at the very task you are attempting. Come and listen to some of them. We will hear the church’s earliest days to find a man who owed his salvation to the careful biblical instruction he received on the lap of his mother. We will zoom forward a few centuries to a woman whose constant prayers were at last rewarded when her son came to faith and went on to become one of history’s most influential theologians. We will advance to recent centuries to see how the prayers, teaching, and examples of godly mothers have shaped evangelists, preachers, and stalwart defenders of the faith. We will learn together of Christian men and their godly moms, mothers who were used to shape the men who changed the world.

Moms Be Encouraged to Pray !

God faithfully answers our fervent prayers for our children! true accounts of a mothers influence with the power of prayer.Even for wandering , rebellious children.
Pray, pray, pray!!

This book greatly encouraged me.

I’m a mother of two girls, 5 and 3 years old and twin boys 2 years old. This book greatly encouraged me to not waste these little years and to earnestly pray for children.

an extremely encouraging book

I was very encouraged by this book, I don't have children but I gained a lot from it and would recommend it to anyone

So encouraging and inspiring

What a wonderful short book for moms who are doubting their influence in their kids lives or discouraged that they are failing. Learning from the examples of other mothers who raised kids in poverty, or as a single mother, or as a mother with an unsaved spouse, or a mother who came to Christ late in her life - these are all so encouraging. This is definitely a book you should listen to and revisit for encouragement.

quick and encouraging

This was a quick book to finish and was really encouraging as a mom trying to raise children in a way that pleases the Lord.

Moms are so important!

This book reminds me that how much ordinary women can change the world and people’s entire life!
Whether you believe or not, if you’re a mom, you are very important to your kids! If you’re diligently teach and love your kids in God, their life will be successful in God!

All Christian moms should read this!

Such an encouraging, challenging, beautiful book! It brought on many tears as it told about so many women influencing great men of God by being faithful to Him.

Encouraging/ Motivating Read

This book is such an encouragement for those who are parenting and desire to raise up their children to live God and His Word. The examples within these 11 chapters stir a desire to do for your children what these women have done for theirs. Even I, as a father, have been helped by this book to assure that I am giving everything I have to parent my children so that they see Christ and love Him. Challies makes the hard work of spiritually developing your children look as valuable as it truly is.

Encouraging!

Very encouraging to me as a Mother...even though I don’t have sons! I encourage all Christian mommas to read it.

I loved this recording!

I learned so much! Short, but time well spent. Featured a few of my favorite theologians, and the narrator's gentle tone didn't take away from the content - I really don't like distracting narrations so this was really special. Recommending to my friends in motherhood.
