The Mother at Home first appeared in 1833 as a book published by the American Tract Society. In enunciates and illustrates certain basic principles of the duty of the mother in raising up her children in the ?fear and admonition of the Lord.?

The Mother at Home stresses the great importance of raising up children under the eye of God, always conscious of His presence and submitted to His Word?the Holy Scriptures. Quoting from the concluding chapter we see the tremendous importance the writer places upon maternal care for children:

?She who was first in the transgression, must yet be the principal earthly instrument in the restoration. Other causes may greatly aid. Other influences must be ready to receive the mind as it comes from the mother?s hand, and carry it onward in its improvement. But the mothers of our race must be the chief instruments in its redemption?O mothers! Reflect upon the power your Maker has placed in your hands! There is no earthly influence to be compared with yours. There is no combination of causes so powerful in promoting the happiness or the misery of our race, as the instructions of home.?

We trust this book will be welcomed in the homes and in the hearts of Christian parents today as they obey the biblical command to raise up their children in the nurture of Christ.?Grace and Truth Books
