J. R. Miller gives a beautifully written picture of biblical home life. Don't be fooled by the title. It's not just about how wives are home makers, it covers many aspects of family life - marriage, children, siblings, etc.

This book is not so much of a theological tome or book of exhortation, as a book that just shows the beauty of the Christian life. Part of that, that really help me much, were very frequent quotations of poetry.

I actually didn't completely read this book. It's old, and much of its advice is as true today as it was when it was written. However I found the author to be long-winded, overly sentimental, and dramatic.
