Book Reviews of There's No Place Like Home: Steps to Becoming a Stay-At-Home Mom

Book Review: Loved this book
Summary: 5 Stars

This is my second favorite book on the subject (first is "Finding Your Way Home" by Koesters).

I LOVED this book because of the testimonials. It is the only book I've ever found that has stories of real people and how they stayed at home, even when it looked impossible on paper. When I read it I made more than my new husband, and on paper staying at home looked ludicrous. This book encouraged me that it is GOD in control. We do our best - we prepared (paid off credit cards, paid off 1 car), we are frugal, we rarely eat out, we plan, budget and live simply. We make do. But our savings quickly ran out. The stories in here would resonate thru my mind and remind me to rely on God. I've been saying for 2 years "I don't know how we can pay the bills this month." I hate that feeling. Yet, for 2 years, we've paid EVERY bill EVERY month, and never once went hungry or had to rely on others. I now write down just how God meets our needs every month (unexpected money gifts, overtime, extra paychecks, a few hours of work for me to do from home with my old employer, gift cards, lower than expected bills, etc.).

My next favorite section of the book is on finances, esp. the cost of working. The 6 reasons most moms work is excellent. There is also a mom's survey that Ethan took at his church that was interesting.

I highly recommend this book.
