I'm always surprised when I find a Christian mother that has not heard of this book. It should be considered required reading for Christian Family 101. In an age when the survival of the family as a living, loving unit is being threatened as never before, Edith Schaeffer presents a heartening view of family life. All the moving, changing shapes of a family, ever in need of work, are shown in Edith Schaeffer's imaginative reflections on infancy to grandmotherhood. The family: It is an ever-changing mobile of life...a center for the formation of human relationships...a perpetual relayer of truth...a museum of memories...all of these and much more. This is an excellent book to use as a study guide for a mother's support group
