Summary: This book is j-u-s-t right!
Review: How many mothers have their own mothers nearby to encourage and assist during the child-rearing years? Not many, and getting fewer all the time.

This gift booklet provides a little of that inter-generational wisdom we all need through its touching anecdotes and warm honesty. Adelsperger and Hayse have done a great job of providing two different points of view while maintaining a consistent voice. The timeline of the book covers four generations, but the reader comes away with a sense of how the real issues--love, family, faith--stay the same through every era. There's no preaching here to scare off the unchurched. Rather, there's a window into how a Christian family views (and "does") motherhood through the generations.

Women of all ages will find something to connect with and learn from in this delightful book. It would be the perfect table favor at a mother-daughter tea.

Summary: Four Generations of Family Values
Review: Warm, pocket and purse size book of family values through four generations. The reader sees that mothers do make a difference in time spent with children. Any time is quality time and setting a good example is part of being a mother. Whether it is showing compassion for others or putting affectionate notes in a child's lunch bag, love is endless and ever-expanding. Though the world may change, prayer is a constant. "Through the Generations" is readable and reinforced with Scripture quotes and anecdotes. Inspirational and family-oriented.
