As it claims to be, this is a practical guide. I have about half of a page of notes plus a list of books and websites to check out. I wasn't expecting the "inspirational" aspect to be so faith-based. The author puts a lot of stock in the power of advancing oneself if doing so for the glory of God. She heavily quotes the Bible. While I am not being negative about this, I just found it surprising. I also didn't read the back cover or pay attention to the publisher.

Wow, I had nooooo idea this book was so religious when I put it on hold at my local library. I guess New Hope is a Christian publisher, and there are LOTS of references to God throughout the book. Like the author, my reason for wanting to work from home is to have more time to volunteer, but besides the respect I have for her motivation, I found this book pretty basic.

My dream is to be a stay at home mother/wife, but also contribute somehow. I am currently reading this book and find it very helpful on getting prepared for that transition. I would recommend it to anyone who is thinking of staying at home.

I was really suprised at this book. It gave me a new perspective and realistic ideas about working at home.
