Anne Bradstreet by D.B. Kellogg is a book I would recommend reading. It gives an accurate account of Anne Bradstreet, a remarkable, truly dedicated, Proverbs 31 woman. She took her role as a wife and mother seriously. She was married at the age of 16. She believed that God's hand was guiding her in every area of her life, that everything happened through the providential hand of God. Her husband was her "chiefest comforter on Earth" and she loved him deeply and was very thankful for God's provision in her life. It was important to her that she encourage her husband. She devoted her life to the Lord and to her family. Despite her ill health, she had 8 children, 4 boys and 4 girls. She delighted in training her children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. Education and Biblical teaching was an important part of the lives of her children. She was blessed with the gift of words for which she wrote many lovely poems. She endured many trials and hardships but through it all she gave God the glory in her life.
