Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Secrets of Happy Home Life
J. R. Miller · 2011
68/100
👎 Skip It
J. R. Miller writes with real warmth and earnest scriptural conviction, and readers who love Victorian devotional prose will find this genuinely moving in its simplicity. But the gender-role assumptions feel prescriptive by any modern standard, the 2011 reprint adds nothing new, and the text is freely available online — there's little reason to purchase this edition specifically.
