Motherhood and Family, the newest Angelus Press book explains how a woman is natured to motherhood and family. If mankind is a tree, woman is its roots. And the roots are hurting (even Catholic roots).

This is a book for traditional Catholic parenting.

Book reviewer for The Remnant, Mrs. Sherry Foster, writes:
“I really found the book to be very helpful for me personally and I’m so excited for the women who will read it.”

Check out the rest of Mrs. Foster’s review in the January 31, 2009, issue of The Remnant.

Mrs. Colleen Drippe, another reviewer, wrote:
“For quite a few years now, Angelus Press has been bringing forth one edifying book after another… For a number of reasons, this current project is one of its most enriching contributions to our Catholic culture a very happy choice, and especially appropriate to our own present situation.”

Gleaned from the same INTEGRITY magazine series from which three previous INTEGRITY volumes have been printed (selling into over 10,000 homes), the 16 chapters of Motherhood and Family can be summarized in the following cut lines. If any of these hit home, ladies, Motherhood and Family is talking about it with you.

Avoid the discouragement of reforming your husband according to your ideas of (feminine) holiness.
Multiply the spiritual goods coming from homebirth and breastfeeding.
Debunk worldly notions of love and romance for your growing girls.
Use the watchwords of common sense and courage to help your family.
Invite poverty to be a necessary part of your Family Rule.
Serve the Church, family, and parish as a single woman.
Understand the similarities between marriage and consecrated religious life which advance holiness.
Prepare for the end of active motherhood and the beginning of a gracious old age.
