This fascinating book is a translation of a series of sermons by David Lipsy, where he talks about Puritan practice in family life, especially focused on women, addressing each point, such as daughter, student, lover, worker, wife, mother, and primarily a woman of God.
Leland Ryken, a notable Puritan historian, wrote: "It is important to note that Puritan writers, on the matter of education, directed most of their attention concerning the goal of Christian education to parents and not to educators. In the Puritan view, education begins at home and is, ultimately, the responsibility of parents, not a substitute for them."
