A Reader’s Review
By Kelly Benedict
Have you read the book “One Hundred and One Devotions
for Homeschool Moms?” If you haven’t, then you’re
missing out on a blessing! This book was written by Jackie
Wellwood, home schooling mom of 7, for the past 10 years.
This is a wonderful devotional for home schooling moms who
want to start their day with the Lord. One Hundred and One
More Devotions for Homeschool Moms, is a sequel to her first
devotional.
As she writes, “There are days when knowing you’re
not alone – knowing that somebody understands both
the frustrations and the joys that you face as a homeschooling
mom – is the only thing that helps you through. There
are days when nobody understands the encouragement you need
quite like another homeschooler.”
In her books, Jackie starts each devotion with a short
scripture, followed by a two-page devotion relating to that
Scripture. At the end of the devotion she offers a prayer,
and the a small section called “Food For Thought.”
This section has 3 questions for you to think and ponder
on throughout the day, and for you to answer.
There are some dominant themes in this book such as being
a good example to our children, relating properly to our
husbands, trusting in the Lord for provision, taming our
tongue, and the value of training character.
As she says in her book, “I have been transparent
in this book in much the same way I want to be honest with
God. Hiding my failures does little to help to grow. On
the other hand, sharing them with all of you is quite humbling.
I believe that many of you are struggling with the same
things that I have shared in this book. Seek the Lord for
help, knowing that you are not alone in your struggles.
My desire is that you will press on after gaining greater
insight into yourself and God as you read through this devotional.”
It’s definitely a book that I related to, and I don’t
doubt that in many areas, if not all of them, that you will
be able to too!
