Devoted: Great Men and Their Godly Moms

Written by Tim Challies

Women shaped the men who changed the world.---History tells of women whose love for the Bible shaped its earliest and most prominent teachers. It tells of women who were great theologians in their own right, yet whose only students were their own children. It tells, time and time again, of Christian men who owe so much to their godly mothers.Raising children to honor and glorify the Lord is the goal of every Christian mother, but how can you do that? Who can teach you? One of the best ways to learn is to read examples of women who have succeeded at the very task you are attempting.Come take a brief look at some of them. We will look to the church’s earliest days to find a man who owed his salvation to the careful biblical instruction he received on the lap of his mother. We will zoom forward a few centuries to a woman whose constant prayers were at last rewarded when her son came to faith and went on to become one of history’s most influential theologians. We will advance to recent centuries to see how the prayers, teaching, and examples of godly mothers have shaped evangelists, preachers, and stalwart defenders of the faith. We will learn together of Christian men and their godly moms, mothers who were used to shape the men who changed the world.—Tim Challies

Inspiration! Such a variety of stories that all highlight mother/son relationships.

[Laura · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

A great challenge and encouragement for moms. A little reformed theology heavy, emphasizing the learning of the catechisms and the Presbyterian church whenever possible. Still, an informative and historical look at the moms of great figures from Christianity.

[Christo Beetge · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Short chapters that make for profitable reading in evening devotions. Highly recommended for fathers and mothers

[Bianca Bonassi · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This is a small book that presents the life and ministry of some mothers. Even though all stories are short, and we would like to have more information and details, it's possible to see how God used those mothers to lead their boys to Christ.
