Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Homemaking is about values and priorities rather than job status. It’s time to ditch the notion that women who work outside the home are not homemakers and redefine homemaking as nurturing relationships and cultivating a lifestyle that allows for flourishing within the home (as well as eventually extending beyond). Working Christian mamas can nurture thriving homelives for their families by cultivating relationships, setting healthy routines, and embracing simplicity to practice kingdom living. A woman’s homelife and work life can be molded to honor God, our families, and our employers when homemaking is valued and prioritized. The Working Homemaker encourages countercultural simplicity, relationships, healthy household rhythms, margin in schedules, and, if possible, work flexibility. Homemaking is not just what we do at home but also the choices we make regarding being away from home that allow for our time at home to be lifegiving.
