Book one of the Family Heirloom Series – Accepting God’s Will Proverbs 31 talks about “submission.” Does that mean a wife must give up having anything of her own? This is what thirty-seven-year-old Tamara Wolfe struggles with. Tamara and Robert, childhood sweethearts, married right out of high school. Their children have always filled her life. Now with the youngest in preschool, Tamara wants to make a business out of her long-time love of creating designer gift baskets. Robert’s adamant disapproval comes as a shock and a surprise to Tamara. It’s a matter of pride with Robert that his wife can stay home to raise the children, just as it was with his father before him. How many times growing up did he hear his father say that a man who doesn’t provide for his family is the worst kind of loser? Plus, Tamara won’t be home to take care of the family. Worse, maybe she won’t need him anymore. Robert’s answer is that another baby will cure his wife’s restlessness. Tamara prays for wisdom. A small space of time for herself is all she wants. Is that selfish? Or is God leading her to continue being an outdated model of the Proverbs 31 wife—submissive, but never equal? Baby Baby by Karen Wiesner is a heart-warming inspirational that addresses the problem of adhering to biblical teaching in a modern world. Ms. Wiesner takes the reader expertly through Tamara Wolfe’s desire to accept God’s will, her desire to create a home-based business out of something she loves doing, and her desire to have a loving relationship with her husband, the love of her life. I could feel Tamara’s struggle and how unhappy Robert’s attitude made her. She becomes fearful that he will be like his father, a man who wanted to control every aspect of his wife’s life—including when she would have children. Although, the story moved a little slowly for me personally, Baby Baby shows the reader how God can change our attitudes, our lives, and our circumstances. All Tamara and Robert had to do was accept God’s will and wait for His timing. Thank you, Ms. Wiesner, for writing a charming book with insights that can help all of us in our daily struggles.
