Product Description
Motherhood and home schooling had overwhelmed her. The house was dirty, the laundry undone. Holly felt frustrated, discouraged, and alone. She couldn’t find time to snuggle and have fun with her five children or to go out with her husband. Yes, she loved Philip and she did love God, but she had come to resent Philip’s freedom and she almost never found time for prayer.Today, everything’s better.
Holly still home schools, but the house is cleaner, she gets more done, and the kids are happier. There’s less stress, less strife, and less housework. Holly’s been healed of past wounds that troubled her soul and her marriage. Best of all, she spends at least an hour each day in prayer and time each evening with Philip.
Holly brought about these changes with what she calls her Mother’s Rule of Life, a pattern for living that combines the spiritual wisdom of the monastery with the practical wisdom of motherhood.
Holly’s Rule is not just another set of schedules; it’s a way for Christian mothers to answer God’s call to holiness.
With the help of your own Rule, you can get control of your own household, grow closer to God, come to love your husband more, and raise up good Christian children. In these wise and practical pages, Holly shows you how.
Do you want to be a better wife and mother? To have more order in your life? To grow in union with God? Are you desperate yet?
With your own Mother’s Rule of Life, you’ll transform motherhood and its burdens into the joyful vocation it’s meant to be. Learn from Holly Pierlot how to craft a Rule that’s right for you and your family. Then use that Rule to help God draw you, your husband, and each of your children into Heaven!
Holly Pierlot (b. 1961) is a popular speaker at catechetics and marriage programs and home schooling conferences. She lives on Prince Edward Island, Canada, with her husband, Philip, and home schools her five children.

This is an amazing book ! It is very well written and full of personal anectdotes, so it is never dull. The author is a Catholic Mom who takes her faith seriously. She shares her spiritual journey with us and offers many wonderful suggestions for the reader to apply to her own spiritual life. My copy is full of underlines and I have read through it three times. I am astounded at the spiritual depth of this book and believe that I have never read a better book for wives and Moms. I intend to read through this book every year because I really want to apply it's beautiful principles to my life. |

This book is an excellent resource for any mother! Especially a Catholic mother, who feels overwhelmed and defeated. I so related to Holly, She does a great job at giving us a road map to a closer relationship with our Lord, as well as helping us become at peace with our vocation (motherhood). After applying the Rule, I sometimes pinch myself, to make sure I'm not dreaming. For it is becoming easier and easier to complete my daily tasks (believe me, my list of daily tasks is no short list, its quite a tall order) as well as volunteer work that I'd never dreamed of being able to do. Get the book and you will see what I mean. Thank you Holly Pierlot! |
