As a mom, you want to nurture a strong family, but fear steals your joy every day. There are times you wonder if youre failing your children or if youre cut out for this.
Well-known homeschool mom Jennifer Pepito understands. She was intent on loving her children well, but the lies she believed about her capabilities-and even Gods faithfulness-allowed fear and worry to push her around. And self-help books were no help at all.
Ultimately, she found her joy in a most surprising place: in the pages of classic literature that she was reading aloud to her children every day. Books like The Long Winter, The Hiding Place, and Pride and Prejudice helped recapture her confidence as a mom. And along the way, she found the wonder of childhood for herself and her children.
In Mothering by the Book, Jennifer takes you on a fascinating, whimsical journey that will bring freedom and fun to your parenting-one great book at a time.

Foreword

As a shy introvert, I have been called to a life in the public arena, where I am constantly forced to live outside my comfort zonespeaking to large groups, mingling with many strangers, smiling through hours of sharing myself as women stand in long lines to chat after I am through speaking. I cherish the life I have, but sometimes it is a bit of a stretch for my personality.
