All for the Love of Mothers

This book is an invaluable source of reading/learning material. It speaks on spiritual and moral truth for the modern reader today. Amazing text. I couldn’t put it down and read it so fast. As a young Catholic mom I really value it!

Even though this midwife lives before, during, and after WWI, it is still so relevant today. All the social issues at the time are still here, if not worse. This should be required reading for every high school student, boy or girl. I finished this book in 3 days and immediately had to start it again.

A phenomenal collection of small stories. I initially read this to help me mentally prepare for my role as a mother.
Instead I left with the tools to help my spiritual life, my marital life, as well as my new parental life.
5 stars, 10/10, will read again

All For the Love of Mothers is the best guide for teens that I have ever read. Some young women give themselves outside marriage and Lisbeth Burger shows how unhappy their lives often turn out to be. Others marry unselfish men who love children more than lust, sports, riches or anything else, and this author, in my opinion, tells their stories more effectively than anyone ever has.

I hope this book is back in print soon. I want to give it again as gifts.

First, each chapter is its own short story. As a busy mom this is great because I can put the book down for a week and I don't have to try to remember what was going on in the book the last time I read it. Secondly, each story is so interesting that it's hard to put it down! The midwife's role in the life of families was a beautiful thing that we have lost and it is very important to see what ever day life used to be like in simpler times. I HIGHLY recommend this book to everyone, especially moms and young women!
