This book was written in 1846 to honor the role of a mother. Brief biographical sketches are given of such wise and good men as Augustine, John Newton, Jonathan Edwards and many others with special emphasis upon the way that their mothers were used of God in their lives. Susan Hunt says that this is the book she has been seeking for many years to give young mothers to encourage them in their task. Elisabeth Elliot and Nancy Wilson commend this work very highly. "A fascinating catalogue of Mothers of the Wise and Good, like St. Augustine’s mother who watered the ground with her tears until he returned to Christ…many will identify with this book." - Elisabeth Elliot "This book answers the very questions that today’s women are asking. The engaging anecdotes and instructive essays are wonderful." - Suan Hunt "It is a useful and valuable work, replete with instruction and encouragement…it deserves to have wide circulation." - John Angell James
