Living on His Income - My Book


Nearly 11 years ago, I wrote a book called "Living on His Income."  I had received many emails and comments with questions about being a housewife in today's difficult financial world. Was it possible to still be a housewife and live on one income in this modern day? This book was my way of helping to answer those who were seeking encouragement and guidance.  

Now, a decade later, teaching on the Christian home is essential, now more than ever.  The book is still greatly needed. We have just completed the work on an updated edition. 

Here are the new features:

 -  The text remains unchanged. (If you have the old edition, you will still see the same words in this new version of the book.)

-  The interior format has been updated and made easier to read.

-  I have added a couple of pictures, including one of my grandparents (with their baby) from the 1930's.

- There is a new cover which still retains a similar look from the original edition. 

What is the book about?

The first section shares 5 brief examples from 3 generations of housewives in my own family. This includes my grandmother (from the 1930's), mother-in-law (in the cover photo), my great-aunt, my mother, and my own experience.  You will read a brief history from my observation (as a witness) of what being a housewife was like and the changes that happened over the years.

The second section contains 9 short chapters with advice and encouragement. Chapters include:  Standard of Living, The Vision of Home, Homemade, Dependent on Him, The Next Generation, and more. 

The book includes a bonus article about faith and trust in the Lord, as well as my definition of a classic housewife. 

"Living on His Income" is a slim book with 64 pages. It is packed with encouragement and old-time advice that has worked for generations.

 You will be inspired to continue on as a cheerful housewife, knowing your work is just as important as the mission field.
