5.0 out of 5 stars Invaluable Resource for Christian Women, January 25, 2001

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A RARE JEWEL, June 19, 2005

This review is from: Choices: For Women Who Long to Discover Life's Best (Paperback)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars NOT FOR LIBERAL SPIRITUALISTS, May 14, 2006

By 

EverydayMommy "EM" (Midwest) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Choices: For Women Who Long to Discover Life's Best (Paperback)

I seriously doubt that reviewer "Penelope" has actually read this book. It's ideals, which are biblically sound and expositional, are the antithesis of the militant feminist movement. A movement which has proven to be an overwhelming failure.

This excellent book includes a practical history of militant feminism and an examination of authentic womanhood according to Scripture.

And, to borrow from the previous reviewer, it educated me on the lies of the the feminist movement, the most destructive lie being this:

"You can have it all"

No, you can't. No one can. You must choose.
