Summary: Truly an eye opener...
Comment: Mary Pride is an inspiration to my family! She has opened our eyes on all that is wrong with parenting today, and set us straight using Biblical truth as her basis. This book tell it like it is with homeschooling vs. public and private schooling, she reveals how people in America today are subconsciencly brainwashed into feminist ideals and anti-child thinking. She explains the beginnings of the planned family roots that end up with abortion as an alternative. She explains how the "World" gets in the way of the family, and how to change the world from with-in. She also wrote a sequel to this book called "All the Way Home" which is a "how to book" compared to "The Way Home" being an "Informative book". I strongly suggest this book above all other books to anyone who is married and thinking of having children. This book is a must read for women today! This book would be the most read book in your church library.

Summary: The real story of Mary Pride
Comment: As Mary Pride's eldest daughter, I was checking out for fun what people have written about my mother's books here on Amazon. Naturally, I am very proud of my mother, and I think this book is wonderful.
I would like to respond to some of the other reviewers, who have posted suppositions about my mother and her life to support their criticism of The Way Home. First, staying at home is _not_ a 20th-century invention. Quite the opposite, in fact. Yes, women worked hard through the ages, but at _house work._ Who does this particular reviewer think scrubbed the floors, cooked food over a fire, spun, wove and sewed the clothes, etc? This was the women, and they raised the children. Any elementary study of history will tell you this.
To the people who commented on my mother's "hypocrisy" in working and telling other mothers not to: While I was growing up (I am 20 years old now), my mother traveled to two or three conventions a year, this is true. She always took at least one of us kids with her, however; conventions were a learning experience, and never lasted more than a week. She writes and works from our home, and mixes the time with correcting assignments and talking to kids. I cannot tell you how wonderful it has been having her at home. I cannot imagine it any other way.
Big families: To the woman who said that it can hardly be helpful to have older kids help raise the younger, obviously she has never encountered a large family. My older brother spontaneously taught me to read when I was three years old, meaning that by the time I was eight I was reading Isaac Asimov's science fiction. I myself helped teach my younger siblings many subjects, including Latin, so that now when I think about teaching any future children, I know that I _can._ This was profitable for both me and my siblings. Several of my friends from one- or two-kid families cannot even imagine themselves able to be parents!
I grew up in the halo of this book. I don't know even how much of an influence it had. All I know is that, whenever I went with my mother to homeschool conferences, dads and moms would bring up their children and say, "Look! He wouldn't be here if we hadn't read your book!" I am so proud of my mother. I wish everyone would read the real historical accounts and see what has indeed happened to our country. Read Alexis de Tocqueville's "Democracy in America" at least. But begin with this book of my mother's.

Summary: One star is way too much!
Comment: I am a happy stay at home Mom and like to read things that are positive and encouraging for those who choose to stay at home. However, I cannot agree with someone who thinks that the ills of our society can be blamed on working mothers. Stay at home mothers were not part of biblical society. In reality, there have not been stay at home mothers until the 20th century. Until the emergence of the middle class, mother's were either too poor to "stay at home" or rich enough to afford nurses, governesses, etc. For those too poor, which would include most, but not all, of the women in the Bible, they were subject to grueling days of working in fields oftentimes with their children working hard as well. The same is true for women throughout history until the 20th century. That isn't to say that the Bible doesn't call us to be Mothers and Fathers. Of course it stresses the importance of families. I know many working women who are wonderful mothers to their children. I do not condemn them for their choice. I'm thankful we live in a land where we have choices.
Also, if one has 6 or 7 children, isn't the tendency for the older children to help raise the younger children? How is that good for any of the children? If you want 10 kids, more power to you. However, if 1 or 2 are enough for you and your spouse, then, God Bless you too. Moreover, if you don't want any children at all, then God bless you for being honest with your self. There are too many unwanted children in this world.
The vitriol in this book is what turns people away from the Church and strident Christians. I agree, also, with the other reviewers that Pride demonstrates an obvious hypocrisy. She must spend a lot of time away from her children writing, speaking, etc. Why is it good enough for her, but not any other Mothers?
