This is a book that I have been searching for a long time. Mothers are so important in shaping a child’s future. In the Book of Kings, whenever a new king begins his reign, the bible also records his mother’s name. Although Proverb 31 gives us a clear description of a virtuous woman, I have always been interested in finding out how “real” mothers nurtured great Christian men. This is the book that answers that question! This book is published by a small publisher called Lamplighter. The Lamplighter publisher rewrites and publishes books written 100 or 200 years ago with conservative Christian values.

This 160 page hard cover book covers the following subjects:

1.The mother of Augustine -- Author of “Confession”
