A must read for Christian women, young and old alike!, December 12, 2000
This review is from: Praise Her in the Gates: The Calling of Christian Motherhood (Paperback)
The Wilsons have done it again! They have showed the Christian church that dignity lies at the door of every Christian household, if only we would allow it to enter!
Nancy Wilson shows her talents as a writer and a communicator in this work that should be read by all Christian women, especially young girls aspiring to the great and high call of motherhood. (Men, pick it up and enjoy the fresh insights into the souls of your daughters, as you carefully cultivate these qualities in them!).
The Wilsons have been saying through their works what the Church of our generation so desperately needs to hear: there is hope for the family! In our day, we have been deluged with the advance of pop psychology intermingled with a few Scriptures, and the results have been nothing short of heart-breaking....families either broken apart, or hanging together by a thread, rather than the glorious example of the love of Christ to His Church. What is our testimony? What can we say to the world when our own families are in turmoil? How can we say, "follow us" when our own children do not follow us??
I urge every Christian to get the series of books from the Wilsons and see for yourselves: God has not left us without instructions! He has given us blue-prints to carefully follow, in glorious detail, and behind these instructions lies the wonderful promise of success:
Men loving their wives, Wives reverencing their husbands, children growing up to faithfully love Christ and family.
What more could you want in life.
Please look into: Standing On the Promises, Fidelity, The Fruit of Her Hands, and other works by the Wilsons...
Nancy, on behalf of my wife, my daughters, and the lovely ladies of our congregation: many thanks!

Life altering material, December 11, 2001
This review is from: Praise Her in the Gates: The Calling of Christian Motherhood (Paperback)
This book Praise Her in the Gates was phenominal. It brought me back to the basics of my calling as a Christian mother. It talked about things I already knew in a way that made them seem fresh. It also taught me elements of being a wife and making a home that I had never even considered. This book is excellent as well as an easy read. I am not a reader and I finished it in about 3 hours. I highly recommend it.

Fresh Air For Mothers, October 10, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Praise Her in the Gates: The Calling of Christian Motherhood (Paperback)
My mother was a wise woman, and a hard worker, as well. But even she did not display Nancy Wilson's level-headed wisdom. With a gentle spirit, but mincing no words, Wilson gives today's mothers an unambiguous challenge to live against the grain -- 'contra mundum'.
Like Nancy Wilson's earlier book, "The Fruit of Her Hands" (which revolutionized my life in Christ), this book is just must reading for Christian women today. Too often, we are dragged away from the simple, fulfilling life that is ours in Christ, to live by the world's standards. We hate it; we know we do. But we're dragged off anyway.
Well, for those who want to come back to reality, here's the handbook you should read alongside your Bible. Oh, what a gift to God's church is Nancy Wilson!
