I really cannot put exactly into words how much I loved this book, it is quite extraordinary how serving a sovereign God, that is all-powerful and all-knowing can put two people who have never met, made different life choices and put their hearts on the same page.
This book exposed a huge problem that has crept into churches, the glorification of the self over the true worship of God. We really have no idea how godless the philosophy of self of love and self care is, because it is us once again falling for the, "You could be like God, knowing good and evil." That is what we are doing when we try to define ourselves apart from the obedience to God.
She goes through and explains the philosophy that has driven this sort of thinking, that philosophy being, "Existentialism", she explains the different steps towards our current view of Existentialism derived and the character of the men who promoted them.
For instance, Jean-Paul Sartre's, "Do whatever you want" to Abraham Maslow's drive to get people to use psychology to get a person to be, "self-actualizing" Both of which are an attempt to define yourself apart from God, and in so doing, trying to make yourself into god, which is in actuality, making yourself an idol.
I honestly thought at first that this was a book by a woman for women, but after reading it, I honestly think that it would be a good book for everyone, especially in the body of Christ to read. Rachel's use of plain language and reasoning makes it not only a clear and concise read but very approachable for even men. Especially men who want to encourage their wives to glory in their God by being obedient to Him.
Quotes:
"The goal of this book is to encourage and equip believing women to see their identity in Christ as the most essential part of them, and to see all the ways that will work its way out in their lives, manifesting itself as strength, dignity, and clarity of purpose."
"My grandpa has always said that soft teaching makes hard hearts and that hard teaching makes soft hearts. When we encourage each other with platitudes about our self-worth and our beauty, we are simply lying for the sake of feelings. When we accustom ourselves to soft lies so we won't feel affronted, we become a hard-hearted people."
"Unbelieving philosophies of self begin with the assumption that there is no Father God. Then they try to make sense out of the undeniable complexity of mankind and human value. You can see right off the bat [assuming that you are a Christian]that in this way the philosophical world had nothing to offer you and much to take from you. They want to take away all meaning that you derive from God and give you new meaning without Him."
"This is why I say that many Christians struggle today do not realize that what they y struggling with on a day-to-day basis is actually at its core, a philosophy problem. The world often uses philosophy as substitute for religion."
"Many Christian woman have wondered why their choices to be married and to nurture children are seen by Feminist as anti-woman. If Feminist are so big on women making choices for themselves, then it seems like they ought to support women who make a choice to nurture children.
However, the more these people believe that the only true living is do in defiance of God and tradition, the more natural it seems to them to despise people who are living in clear accordance with their created purpose."
"We are accustomed in our times to think of our feelings as information. We believe that when we feel something, it is not only revealing an actual thing that is going on, but probably insightful about what ought to go on.
A woman, 'feels' unwanted and unloved, so she accuses all those who want and love her of creating her feelings. A Christian may 'feel' like God isn't close, and so he continues to disobey Him or avoid praying. We 'feel' like we really need a break right now, and so we take one, whether or not our duties and responsibilities allow for it.
We Christians need to stop thinking of our feelings as insights. Our feelings are instead something that we need to manage. When our feelings are acting up, who is it to discipline them? We are. Who is to treat them with reverence? No one."
I mean the whole book is one giant quotable book of a Godly woman exhorting us to be godly and that truly the only way for a Christian to bring glory to God is through obedience to His word and doing your duty.
If you don't get and read this book, I am going to question whether or not you are truly justified to God... just kidding, but seriously...#BUYTHISBOOK #AMUSTREAD

Rachel Jankovic, mother of seven, provides personal stories and practical advice on how to persevere in the high but demanding call of motherhood. | Our unchristian world preaches to men a gospel of weakness and fragility.

Rebekah Merkle focuses on God’s design for women, encouraging you to be a godly mom, a loving wife, and a bold entrepreneur. | God designed the household as his kingdom’s command center—and Christians can choose to work either with or against God’s design. In this truly original book, C.R. Wiley unlocks the deep, eschatological centrality of the household. | “This book is nothing less than a proclamation of the Gospel as embodied in family life.” Pastor Douglas Wilson gets at the heart of the family, revealing how listening to the Gospel transforms the way we disciple and care for our children’s souls." |

| These are our top sellers, presenting God’s grace and truth for every person at every moment. | How do you raise great men, ready for work, marriage, worship, and suffering?

In fifteen brief lessons, Nancy Wilson outlines the virtues of a godly woman. Suitable for small group bible studies or personal devotionals, this practical guide offers clarity and encouragement to women of all ages. | Cooking for crowds is a great but tough ministry opportunity, requiring tons of stress, money, and mental math (0.75 tsp. x 5 = 3.75 tsp = 1.25 tbsps). Drawing on long experience, Rebekah Merkle provides big recipes that are quick, cheap, and classy. | One of the self-centered ideas shaping our culture is that you are enough. You are not enough, Rachel Jankovic says. Pretending differently makes true happiness impossible. But in Christ, you can find more meaning and love than you ever hoped for. | “You can’t score points until you have the ball. And reformers will not have the ball until they have a culture.” America needs redeeming change. Here’s how to do it, from one of our time’s most effective reformers. |
