Great Men and Their Godly Moms

By: Tim Challies

Narrated by: Sean Patrick Hopkins

Women shaped the men who changed the world.

History tells of women whose love for the Bible shaped its earliest and most prominent teachers. It tells of women who were great theologians in their own right, yet whose only students were their own children. It tells, time and time again, of Christian men who owe so much to their godly mothers. Raising children to honor and glorify the Lord is the goal of every Christian mother, but how can you do that? Who can teach you?

One of the best ways to learn is to read or listen to examples of women who have succeeded at the very task you are attempting. Come and listen to some of them. We will hear the church’s earliest days to find a man who owed his salvation to the careful biblical instruction he received on the lap of his mother. We will zoom forward a few centuries to a woman whose constant prayers were at last rewarded when her son came to faith and went on to become one of history’s most influential theologians. We will advance to recent centuries to see how the prayers, teaching, and examples of godly mothers have shaped evangelists, preachers, and stalwart defenders of the faith. We will learn together of Christian men and their godly moms, mothers who were used to shape the men who changed the world.

To Any Christian Mom

What a beautiful book! It demonstrates the power of God through the humble lives of all kinds of Christian moms - whether poor or rich, single or married. A must- read for Christian moms longing for godly examples of faith and trust through mothering!

A must read for all mothers

I truly enjoyed reading this book. If you need to look to godly mothers, this is the book. The mothers in this book were not perfect and did not have perfect lives. Their sons were not perfect and some were in fact, scoundrels. And yet, with determination the mothers prayed for their sons, taught them the word, and trusted in God to change their hearts in his time.

Moms Be Encouraged to Pray !

God faithfully answers our fervent prayers for our children! true accounts of a mothers influence with the power of prayer.Even for wandering , rebellious children.
Pray, pray, pray!!

This book greatly encouraged me.

I’m a mother of two girls, 5 and 3 years old and twin boys 2 years old. This book greatly encouraged me to not waste these little years and to earnestly pray for children.

I was very encouraged by this book, I don't have children but I gained a lot from it and would recommend it to anyone
