A RARE JEWEL

I highly recommend this book for two reasons. -The research done is scholarly and thorough throughout -The scriptures used are in context and doctrinally sound The first half is an excellent history of the feminist movement from a Christian perspective. The second half is priamarily a study of the principles of biblical womanhood found in Titus 2 and other scriptures. This book affirmed my desire to remain in the home with my children despite the sacrifices. It educated me on the lies of the the feminist movement that I hear almost daily- the most destructive lie being this: "You can have it all" No, you can't. You have to make choices. -by Scarlett Clay

Invaluable Resource for Christian Women

My husband bought me this book at one of Steve Farrar's (Mary's husband) seminars. My husband and I highly recommend all of the books by this amazing Christian couple. It's hard to form a biblically based identity in today's world. In a society where all lifestyles are accepted, there's no good guidance on how to raise a Christian family. This book was hard to put down--it explains how our society has evolved into what it is today. It reminds us where we came from and gives suggestions about how we can reclaim our Christian heritage. Some of Mary's ideas will be hard to accept by people who don't want to hear the truth, but everything she says is right from the Bible and right from her heart. It's a great resource for Christian women.

Changed my life

I've never been so challenged by an author before. This book caused me to re-evaluate the plans I've been making for graduate school, career, marriage, children, etc. I recommend it to any young woman in a transition period - it helps give God's perspective on traditional women's roles.

A definite read for stay-at-home moms

As a mother of two toddlers, this book helped me realize just how important it is that I change diapers, clean house, read the same book twelve times, etc. At the end of the day, when my husband asks what I did today, with confidence I can say - I was a mom and a wife! It's a great book to read whenever those feelings of insecurity crop back up. My choice to be a wife and mother is fulfilling what God designed me for!

A life defining book for all women

This book provides information and insight into what it means to be a women in our world. It offers you the opportunity to comtemplate yourself and your values and decide what you want to get and give from your time here. It is a book for all ages and stages - it clarified my unconsious desires and helped me to define my life, my love and my reason. I have limited biblical knowledge but just fell in love with what this book offered me.
