Liberated Through Submission: God's Design for Freedom in All Relationships [Paperback]

P. B. Wilson (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 1997

From back cover: You can wait for the Fourth of July to arrive to enjoy the brilliant fireworks-or you can mention "submission" to a group of women! For far too long, men and women have been deceived by the myths, incorrect expectations, and lopsided portrayals of submission. As a strong woman married to a strong man, author Bunny Wilson became angry and frustrated when she first heard that submission was the key to a fulfilling marriage. In this provocative and surprising book, Bunny Wilson shares her clear and thoughtful understanding of a principle that will revolutionize your most important relationships. Using the Bible as a guide, LIBERATED THROUGH SUBMISSION shares the fascinating facts of true, biblical submission and explores how submission applies to every man and every woman-whether married or single. If submission is the last thing you want to do-you need to read LIBERATED THROUGH SUBMISSION.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book single handedly changed my life & my marriage, August 20, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Liberated Through Submission: God's Design for Freedom in All Relationships (Paperback)

Liberated through submission has given me the boldness to stand up and say that my desire is to be a submitted wife and the reasons why. Before I read this book, I sat silently when other women exploded about the forbidden "s" word. The Bible tells us clearly to submit and I did, as an act of obedience to God, however, I did not like it. As a result of reading Bunny's book, not only do I want to submit but I recognize that I cannot afford not to. I am now "Liberated" because submission allows me to step back and watch God move!

Bunny shares many intimate details about her life that made it easy to identify with her. Her self-disclosure really helped to make the message real. You'll laugh, you'll cry, but most of all you'll be changed by reading this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Does the "S" word make you want to rebel?, March 14, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Liberated Through Submission: God's Design for Freedom in All Relationships (Paperback)

I became a Christian in my 20's and was suddenly faced with a group of people I admired who talked about a woman's role. Coming from a wonderful strong line of independent women, the word submission conjured up images of women as doormats for their overbearing mates. This book helped me to understand a biblical perspective on submission and helped me understand how much strength it takes to submit and how strong a relationship can be because of submission. What it all comes down to is, "do I trust my husband to seek God, and do I trust God to correct him faster and with less friction than I ever could?" I first read this book as a single woman (besides discussing submission itself, it has seperate chapters for single women, married women, men), and ended up giving copies to all my friends! Now that I'm getting married, re-reading this book is really helpful! My mentor has been married for almost 30 years and found new insights and encouragement in this book as well! It is a must-read!

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't listen to the negative responses!, February 16, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Liberated Through Submission: God's Design for Freedom in All Relationships (Paperback)

I have read this book a few times through, and continue to pick it up from time to time. I have been with Jesus for a little over 4 years and in my early 20's, but have found this book extreamly useful.

I don't believe at all that she is teaching men or women to merely be door mats, and if you think that, read it again becasue she even addresses that. It's about seeing things through the eyes of Jesus who lead a PERFECTLY SUBMISSIVE LIFE----even unto death!!!!!!!! Put that in your pipe and smoke it! Think about it, if He had not totally submitted, you would not have salvation!!!

I think that she has a really good understanding on this subject, and that she explains it in a very basic way. I'm not surprised at all at the mass rejection of this book in some of the reviews that I've read. It's controversal, not because it's off, but because it's opposite what the world tells you---it's biblical, and like Jesus said, if they hate Me, they will hate you.

Give the book a try, if you don't like it, it's your life, but if you want a life full of power and reliance upon God, look it over. We are not here to do our own will, we can do that as unbelievers. We are here to do the will of the Father and to lay our lives down for one another.

God bless.
