Description  

A follow-up companion to The Mission of Motherhood (soon to be in its third printing). In a much more personal and devotional style, Sally addresses how mothers can effectively reach the precious lives entrusted to their care by looking to the life and ministry of Jesus. She examines the relationship between Jesus and his disciples, and incorporates a plan for influencing children for Christ using the acronym GIFTS grace, inspiration, faith, training and service. It is an uncomplicated, yet strategic, plan for passing on crucial gifts to your children. In the dailyness of providing for your children's physical, emotional and social needs, GIFTS provides a way to insure that vital opportunities for spiritual nurture and training are not lost in the shuffle.  

  • Make Life's Mundane and Nitty-Gritty Moments Work for You and Not Against You
  • Discover Ways to Make Character-Building a Natural Part of Life
  • Teach Your Child in the Same Way Jesus Taught the Disciples
  • Pass on Crucial Gifts that Will Serve Your Family for a Lifetime
Using biblical wisdom and practical teachings, Sally shows how you can make a lasting difference in your child's life by following the pattern Christ set with his own disciples; a model that will inspire and equip you to intentionally embrace the rewarding, desperately needed, and immeasurably valuable Ministry of Motherhood.  

"Ministry of Motherhood is the story of one mother who has dared to go beyond the ordinary in loving, leading, and training her children to follow Christ. In this honest and inspiring book, Sally Clarkson paints a stirring vision of a mother's mission and challenges women to disciple their children to be passionate, devoted servants of Christ". Nancy Leigh DeMoss, author and host of Revive Our Hearts Radio

"Biblical, practical, motivational. This inspiring book belongs on every mother's nightstand." Linda Dillow, author of Calm My Anxious Heart and coauthor of Intimate Issues

"Here we have a book to substantiate that the ministry of motherhood and the Great Commission are not mutually exclusive, but a complement and catalyst to each other! With an extraordinary blend of humility, challenge, and encouragement, Sally gives an exalted vision to our calling and stewardship as mothers."  Debby Thompson, wife and mother with 30 years of ministry leadership, currently with Campus Crusade for Christ, Eastern Europe and Russia

"My thanks to Sally Clarkson for her sacrifice and dedication and the example her life has been to me. Through her writings she is able to share some of what God has put on her heart. This book, along with her others, reveals her to be a shining example of one committed to honor God in all that they do. May you be blessed as you read this book and continue this journey we call motherhood."  Lynn VanWingerden, wife, mother of 23 children, grandmother of 9
