A Mother's Rule of Life: How to Bring Order to Your Home and Peace to Your Soul

On January 1, 2000, Holly Pierlot pounded her fist on the kitchen table and yelled at her husband, ÔÇ£I canÔÇÖt take it anymore!ÔÇØ

Motherhood and homeschooling had overwhelmed her. The house was dirty, the laundry undone. Holly felt frustrated, discouraged, and alone. She couldnÔÇÖt find time to snuggle and have fun with her five children or to go out with her husband. Yes, she loved Philip and she did love God, but she had come to resent PhilipÔÇÖs freedom and she almost never found time for prayer.

Today, everythingÔÇÖs better.

Holly still homeschools, but the house is cleaner, she gets more done, and the kids are happier. ThereÔÇÖs less stress, less strife, and less housework. HollyÔÇÖs been healed of past wounds that troubled her soul and her marriage. Best of all, she spends at least an hour each day in prayer and time each evening with Philip.

Holly brought about these changes with what she calls her MotherÔÇÖs Rule of Life, a pattern for living that combines the spiritual wisdom of the monastery with the practical wisdom of motherhood.

HollyÔÇÖs Rule is not just another set of schedules; itÔÇÖs a way for Christian mothers to answer GodÔÇÖs call to holiness.

With the help of your own Rule, you can get control of your own household, grow closer to God, come to love your husband more, and raise up good Christian children. In these wise and practical pages, Holly shows you how.

Do you want to be a better wife and mother? To have more order in your life? To grow in union with God? Are you desperate yet?

With your own MotherÔÇÖs Rule of Life, youÔÇÖll transform motherhood and its burdens into the joyful vocation itÔÇÖs meant to be.
