About the Author J.R. Miller, some might say, was born with a pencil in one hand and a book in the other. His writing career started in 6th grade when he wrote a science essay for whom he foolishly thought was the girl of his dreams. She got an A. He did not. Later, he earned an A for an 8th grade bully, sparing him a beat-down of epic proportions. Through most of his adolescence, however, his writing career fell to secret angst-filled journals, silly revenge stories and trite song lyrics all of which he promptly (and regretfully) destroyed upon finding them years later in a box under his bed. He was born and raised in the blue-collar suburbs of Detroit. After a career designing and copywriting for a super- big ad agency proved that corporate cube farms are The Matrix, he, joined by his wife and children, moved to Florida, where he received his MFA in Creative Writing from the University of South Florida. His work has been published by Midwestern Gothic, Palooka, Prime Number, Prick of the Spindle, and several others. He is founding editor of A Review of Text and Image and the production editor for Sweet Publications.

Poetry meets practicality By A Customer This book is a gem.Written in the 1880's, this book illumines the poetic life of the family.Would it be controversial, if published now? Absolutely. It devalues autonomy, assumes the existence of absolutes, and certainly leads the reader to think that real poetry in life is found through surrendering autonomy and embracing your husband, wife, children, brother, sister.It's classic romance, but without fluff. The level of prose transcends anything published these days -- be ready to enjoy the english language at its finest.And be ready for a truly refreshing introduction to life as we should know it. Less harried, less materialistic, less self-introspective, and more appreciative of the things that give life meaning -- the people directly around us.This book teaches brothers how to care for sisters, and vice-versa. It teaches wives how to help their husbands become their best, and how men can bring out every facet of their wives' beauty. It even gives parents perspective in dealing with the loss of a child. This is not pop-psychology.This is wisdom.

It's not another how to wash the dishes or how to keep a cleaner house,but rather a guide for every family member to do their part in making the home everything God intended it to be. It has the following chapters: The Wedded Life (perfect for those engaged, so they know what they are committing to); The Husband's Part; The Wife's part; The Parents' Part; The Childrens' Part; Brothers and Sisters; TheHome-Life; Religion in the Home; Home Memories. Each chapter deals with a different person in the home...one excerpt says, "In home-making each member of the family has a part, and the fullest happiness and blessedness of the home can be attained only when each one's part is faithfully fulfilled. If any one member of the family fails in love or duty, the failure mars the whole household life, just as one discordant voice in a company of singers spoils the music, though all the others sing in perfect accord." It's an amazingly awesome book and is written in 19th century poetic style, making it very enjoyable to read! I was extremely impressed, as was my husband. The wisdom within the pages of this book are priceless and what's amazing, is that it is still relevent for today! However, it does raise the bar and will challenge everyone within the family. (It really zones in on how to treat one another) It's not too demanding, but very scriptural, the same standards that are in the Word of God. It will inspire you moms, and will show you the eternal value of raising your children...it's uplifting and made me (as a mom) feel like I'm doing a more worthy job than leading a corporation,or being the Queen of England! I only wish I had read this book 15 years earlier, when my kids were very little.

Not to mention those who are single! This book is very attune to the heart of Scripture, seeking to glorify God to the highest and impart to the reader the deep responsibility and beauty of fulfilling each family member's God-given roles! Quite the refreshment! Must read for engaged couples, invaluable resource for those married.
