Do sisters in Christ help or hurt one another's marriages?
How can we help each other successfully raise our children?

What can we learn from sisters in the Bible- such as Rachel and Leah, or the spiritual sisters in the Song of Songs?

How can we have rich and rewarding relationships with our biological sisters and our sisters in Christ?

5.0 out of 5 stars If you BELIEVE what the Bible says... this is a MUST read!, December 7, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: We Are Sisters (Paperback)

I have seen the Amazon reviews on this book as well as Brestin's other book "The Friendships of Women," and would have to say that if you are not a Bible believing Christian, you may as well pass this one up. However, you will be missing out on a lot of valuable insight. Brestin has a lot to offer; her insight is invaluable and relevant- but if you don't believe what the Bible has to say about how we are to live as Christian women- conducting ourselves in a manner that is pleasing to Jesus Christ, then you may as well forget it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding reader for adult sisters or mother of daughters., January 30, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: We Are Sisters (Paperback)

I found this book to be helpful as I search to understand my self and my relationship with my three sisters as we are 14 years apart in age range. I also found the book to be delightful as I progressed through it for ideas to help my two teenage daughters. I only wish I had read it when they were much younger to fully help them find the delight of their unique relationship as sisters.

2.0 out of 5 stars Meet Real-Life Stepford People!, July 3, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: We Are Sisters (Paperback)

Maybe I'm not cut out for Christianity. I don't know. I went to a women's group which was studying this and I felt like I was sitting in a group of Stepford Wives. I envy Brestin in being so clean-cut and having such perfect examples of the ideas that she illustrates, but much of the time I felt like I was reading not only her ideas but that she had invented BS to back them up. It was unreal, her situations were too easy to solve and I just didn't see a link between Brestin-Land and the real world.
