Encouragement for Christian Mothers

Encouragement for Christian Mothers exalts motherhood as a work that glorifies God and advances His kingdom, highlighting the eternal impact of a mother’s influence and giving helpful words of wisdom for the fulfilling of this great mission. While challenging mothers with the greatness and weight of their task, this booklet encourages Christian mothers to take heart because God Who has called them to this work is sufficient for all they need. In a day when motherhood is minimized and even despised, this booklet offers timeless encouragement for Christian mothers everywhere.
James Cameron (1809-1873) was a Scottish Congregational minister, born in Gourock, Firth of Clyde, Scotland. Encouragement for Christian Mothers is taken from his “Three Lectures to Christian Mothers,” which were first preached in his own congregation in the course of his ordinary pastoral instruction. Due to their effectiveness, the messages were preached again in Edinburgh at the request of women from several denominations. Although not originally intended for publication, the messages were eventually printed, and thus have been preserved for us today.
