SynopsisWe know that the chief purpose and end of man is "to glorify God and to enjoy Him forever."1 But how does this calling apply to daughters living at home? And how do daughters and parents explain that application to their extended families, pastors, and loved ones? Jasmine Baucham, the oldest daughter of Christian speaker, author, and church elder Dr. Voddie Baucham, answers these important questions in her brand-new book, Joyfully at Home., By age fourteen, Jasmine Baucham's little-girl dreams of becoming a mommy were supplanted by bigger visions of winning the Pulitzer Prize or an Oscar and appearing on Oprah. She began quipping that her spiritual gift was singleness and viewing the calling of home and marriage as second-rate. Then her world was radically challenged by the Scriptures, and she went from craving personal renown to craving to please the Lord through delighting in his design for the joyful home-an even bigger dream, she realized, than stardom. In Joyfully at Home, Jasmine writes with verve, passion, and transparency about her own struggles and triumphs as a young woman, even as she encourages other girls on this journey to grasp the bigger picture-to embrace a vision for the home as a hub of ministry and discipleship, as a training ground for life ahead, and as a place where they can bless their families. With humor, humility, and heart, Jasmine tackles the tough questions and "what ifs" girls face, offering practical counsel on how to overcome a false view of marriage, husbands, and singleness. Jasmine paints a beautiful picture of how young ladies can become good daughters to their fathers and mothers, good sisters to their siblings, and gain vibrant confidence, godly contentment, and purposeful joy in their ministry in and from the home.
