Foundations of a Godly Home is a beautiful collection of four short books filled with timeless wisdom and biblical encouragement for those preparing for marriage—or already walking through it. With a pastor’s heart and a deep love for God’s design for the home, J.R. Miller gently guides readers to think intentionally about relationships, character, and the foundations of a joyful life together.

This volume includes:

• The Marriage Altar – A heartfelt look at choosing a spouse wisely and cultivating happiness in marriage from the very beginning. Miller offers practical and spiritual advice for those considering marriage, as well as encouragement for couples already committed to the journey.

• Girls: Faults and Ideals – A tender reminder to young women to pursue Christ above all else. In a world full of shifting values, Miller speaks to the importance of godly character, grace, and growth in womanhood.

• Young Men: Faults and Ideals – A companion piece to the one above, this book turns the spotlight to young men, challenging them to rise to the high calling of integrity, responsibility, and faith. Originally written with input from young women, it’s a thoughtful guide for developing maturity and strength in godliness.

• Secrets of Happy Home Life – A short but powerful reflection on the beauty and sanctity of home. Miller reminds us that home is meant to be a refuge of love, learning, and spiritual growth—a place where character is shaped and lives are rooted.

J.R. Miller was a beloved Christian author and pastor in the late 1800s and early 1900s, known for his gentle, pastoral voice and unwavering commitment to biblical truth. This collection offers timeless encouragement for anyone seeking to build a Christ-centered home filled with love, peace, and purpose.
