P Field: This book will inspire you. Loved the variety of Christian leaders/theologians included and the personal stories of their mothers’ huge influence in their lives. It was hard for me to put down. I also loved that the selections included were not real long…..a great book to have in your personal library.

Emma Stephens: This book was misprinted. There is an entire book on poetry printed in this book. The book itself I would recommend but I would not recommend purchasing from this seller.

Kindle Customer: This is by far the best motherhood book I've read! It points to the beautiful way God's uses ordinary means (prayer, a foundation of God's Word, devotion to our kids, etc.) to do his great work in the lives of our children. The examples of these men and their testimony to the impact their mothers had on them offered me such encouragement and hope. Each chapter is short and easy to read. This is a book I will return to often.

Julian: My wife and I both read this book and were greatly edified by it. We are preparing to receive our first baby so this book was very encouraging for my wife (and I) to read. We are amazed by the commitment, faith and love portrayed by the women that Challies' writes about.

DnA: I love the compilation and acknowledgement of the role of the mother in a person's life. It was refreshing to see a book from the West and from a Christian standpoint noting the importance and value of a mother's role in her child's life. This book is specifically about the mother-son relationship. I found it very encouraging and helpful to see a compilation of stories of mothers who made a huge difference in their son's life. It was inspiring.

Unfortunately, I didn't find the commentary and questions that were added to the end of each story helpful. I think they are meant to inspire mothers to go deeper with their children, however I found that they often seemed to send the message that the mothers in the stories were pristine examples of motherhood and the commentary and questions seemed to assume that we, the readers, were not, and focus on areas of improvement. Instead of feeling inspired and empowered by these stories of mothers who fought spiritually for their children, the questions leaves me feeling compared and focusing on how I've come short. I feel it would have been more helpful to me, as a mother, to have read stories of flawed mothers who were sincere and...

Charlotte: “Never could it be possible for any man to estimate what he owes to a Godly mother.”

This was an awesomely unique book. It describes the influence of a Godly mother in the lives of some of the most influential men in church history, including: John Newton, Hudson Taylor, J. Gresham Machen, Christopher Yuan, William Borden, Charles Hodge, John Piper, Charles Spurgeon, Augustine, D.L. Moody, & Timothy.

Challies wrote this book originally in article format on his blog until he was encouraged to compile these articles into a paper format. One of his goals in writing out these stories was to help mothers see that “your labor is setting a strong foundation for years to come... Through your training and your tenderness, you are displaying the love of the Father.”

Some characteristics and habits of these women include:
•exalting in God’s strength while bombarded with physical weakness
•general prayerfulness and pleading for their children’s salvation (even to the point of raw knees)
•faithful training of their children in righteousness, the Word, & sound doctrine
•surrender of their children to potential death for the sake of...
