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.

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!

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.

This book is definately the bomb! P.B. Wilson is such a great writer. Her examples really touched my heart. It gave me godly insight and a couple of unanswered questions pertaining to my unequally yoked marriage. This book has given me the courage and faith to sustain the hard times. It has also creatively and biblicaly directed me to my role and duties as a christian wife. I have learned to accept my role with grace, faith, and power. I am so thankful that a happily married christian woman has taken the time to skillfuly explain her secrets. This book is one of the most encouraging books I've ever read. I am so inspired to trust in God for my miracle while I continue to live in obedience to the word of God. Freedom through Submission will bless your life. It may even save your marriage; not mention your sanity. -N. Wilson

This book really explained to me the difference between submission and subservience. These words are not the same and have been confused by women and men alike. In all our lives we submit to the government, parents, churches and God. We as women who want to be married need to understand that we need to submit to our husbands as written in the bible and realize submission does not mean you're at his every command. Submission is freedom from us women bound by feministic views and the 90s trend of doing everything ourselves. Every person male or female needs to read this book in order to understand what submission really entails.

I couldn't put this book down. I find that Bunny Wilson is an annointed woman of God appointed to guide and aid women (of any marital status) into the TRUE will of God. If you think you know what submission is and find it difficult YOU need this book. I found myself in every chapter of this book. Submission is presented here in a way that I had never thought of before. After reading this book I am now willing and equipped to be empowered by submitting to God, the government, my employer and my future husband just as Christ ordained me to. Thank you Bunny for this wonderful book!!!!

This is a great book for a single person who is waiting for God to reveal their lifemate to them. The book clearly outlines the responsibility roles in a marriage and explains why women should submit to the authority of their husbands. The husband, however, must submit to the authority of God. As a single woman, this book has convinced me that when I date, I must ask myself, "Is this a man to whom I can submit?" If not, I have no business dating him. It certainly takes some of the guesswork out of selecting a husband!

I give this book a five star rating because it is simply delightful and invigorating for the married couple as well as those thinking about tieing the knot.

If you're already married it teaches you that submitting to your spouse is not the end of the world. Infact, it's really only the begining. The examples and illastrations used are so connecting. The referenced scripture makes the reader aware of the fact that God wants both men and women to be submitted to each other. I used to think that submission applied only to the woman but since reading this book I now realize that submission is a two way street. How could you expect your wife to submit to you if you're not submitted to her?

What I've really learned is that submission is so very easy because you only have to submit to GOD. Once you have submitted to God, submitting to your spouse is a piece of cake.

To P.B. Wilson, the author, I don't know if you realize it or not but you are going to be the cause of a lot of marriages being saved. Thanks for this great book and thanks for opening my eyes and my heart.

When I first got married, I was concerned about the Christian role of women in the home. I thought in order to be "Godly" I would have to sacrifice who I was in order to please my husband. But after reading this book, it became clear to me that the roles God created for us are not there to torture us, but rather to make us whole. P.B. Wilson has an amazing insight into what the Bible really says about the roles of the husband and wife, and I have been very happy since I learned to trust God with our relationship.

I am at the point in my life where I am trying to lead the life that the Lord had outlined in his word for me to lead, whether that is as a woman, wife, or any other title that I may hold. I personally know that I will not be successful in any of these roles if I do not take heed to the word of God. As a young newlywed and very independent young woman I noticed that there were a lot of things that I still as a growing Christian did not know about my role as a wife and that of course only placed conflict in my very new marriage. When I first heard the word submission I thought to myself " I am not any man's slave, so we can cancel that idea", but reading this book not only opened my heart but it opened my mind as to what submission is really all about. Submission is not just something that needs to be practiced in marriage but in almost every relationship and encounter that we have on a daily basis. Mrs. Wilson's book has truly given me guidance that I know will be beneficial to my marriage whether it be today or somewhere else down the road. I got so much out of this book that I even purchased it for a friend that is about to take that walk down the aisle and into a new world.
