Recommendation

My wife and I are different.
It's different, it's too different.
There are more than one or two things that are so different that they are uncomfortable.
I like my room and food warm, but my wife likes it cold.
I like it cooked, but my wife enjoys it raw.
I'm a master at messing things up, but my wife is a master at organizing things.
I am a feminine male, but my wife is a masculine female.
As we get older, the colors of difference become more distinct.
Yet, for my wife and I, we enjoy how our differences complement, build, and energize each other.
It feels like a mystery how this is possible.

That mystery comes from the Word of God, given not only to us but to all couples on this earth to build each other up, build families, build churches, and build the world.
Denise Glenn wrote MotherWise Wisdom, based on Proverbs 31, as a special tool from the Lord to raise up the mothers of this earth with wisdom.
This book is a collection of wisdom experienced and confirmed through the meditations and life of a devout woman.
My wife has taught me the Mother Wise Wisdom section for many years, and thanks to her, I have become a beneficiary of the number one blessing.
Despite our differences, or rather, because we as a couple have come to enjoy the wisdom of using our differences as a resource for building.

The key to that wisdom is establishing priorities.
At the heart of the chaos and suffering experienced by families in this land is confusion over priorities.
Many families' priorities are becoming mixed up: wives who put their children before their husbands, parents who put their children before God, husbands who put their work before God, and even couples who put their dogs before their spouses.

How many people think so cannot be our standard.
God's word is the only accurate and absolute standard.
"MotherWise Wisdom" is a discipleship training course for Christian mothers that clearly establishes priorities.
Mothers have the most practical role to instill and teach these priorities in their homes.
The wisdom most needed by mothers in this age is to hold on to the priorities taught in the Word.

If I have one great ambition, it is that the next generations of this land will stand as a healthy generation of God.
To that end, I sincerely hope that all mothers in this land will become wise mothers with their priorities straight through 『Mother Wise Wisdom』.
