Mother By Kathleen Norris / The Vision Forum, Inc This is a difficult age to be a woman. At times it seems as if the entire culture conspires to belittle motherhood and home. The woman who aspires to raise children for the glory of God, to develop the ministry of the home, or to co-labor with her husband is deemed "old fashioned." The modern lure of independence and career has bewitched an entire generation to exchange the beauty of Christian womanhood for the temporary comforts of a society at war with the family. This is the fictional tale of a young lady who leaves home and repudiates family life in the hope of finding personal fulfillment through independence and career. Though she has benefitted greatly from the love of her own mother, she decides that raising children and keeping a home is a wasted life in comparison to the opportunities of the business world. But God dramatically changes her heart. She discovers that wealth and position are illusory and that independence can enslave a young lady. She discovers that the greatest woman she has ever known was her mother. Now she longs for home and for motherhood. |

The Spy: A Tale of the Neutral Ground By James Fenimore Cooper / Penguin Classics Inspired by accusations of venality leveled at the men who captured Major Andre (Benedict Arnold’s co-conspirator, executed for espioage in 1780), Cooper’s novel centers on Harry Birch, a common man wrongly suspected by well-born Patriots of being a spy for the British. Even George Washington, who supports Birch, misreads the man, and when Washington offers him payment for information vital to the Patriot’s cause, Birch scorns the money and asserts that his actions were motivated not by financial reward, but by his devotion to the fight for independence. |
