About this title

From the Back Cover:

“So what do you do?” How many stay-at-home moms cringe at this common question? Jill Savage has founded Hearts at Home to provide professional conferences and resources to affirm the profession of motherhood, and to train, equip, encourage, and renew mothers as they move forward in their mothering career.

As Jill transitioned from her career as a teacher to become a stay-at-home mom, she realized that though there were books on mothering skills, discipline, marriage, etc, there was a lack of resources that provided the vision and encouragement to set a career course for herself as a mother (as she had done in her professional life) and then provide a framework for developing and sharpening her motherhood skills.

Professionalizing Motherhood is first of all a call and recognition that motherhood is not only a valid career choice, but also a worthy and significant profession. Secondly, it is a resource for professional moms to evaluate and move forward in their chosen career. It begins by establishing the mission of the job, discussion the need for developing a network of “co-workers,” exploring the dynamics of marriage within the role of a professional mother, understanding one’s value in Christ, and finally taking care of one’s needs. It also includes practical homemaking skills and an emphasis on understanding the importance and value of the profession of motherhood.

Jill’s honest, vulnerable, and encouraging style makes her an effective communicator. She shares her personal experiences and struggles, offering transparency as the reader recognizes real life struggles and challenges. Readers will be equipped and encouraged, learning that they are not alone and that they, too, can find victory in their life through Christ.

Professionalizing Motherhood will revolutionize the reader’s approach to the valuable career of motherhood.
