Biblical Womanhood in the Home (Foundations for the Family Series) (Foundations for the Family Series)

Crossway Books, 2002

Celebration of Womanhood
What an inspiring collection of commentaries of powerful Christian women. I truly enjoyed and was inspired by different authors. It is an excellent description of how I have felt as a Christian woman who felt at odds with the dangerous sound of the word "submission". Chapter one is not a resonating read like the rest of the book. My sister read it and almost decided to quit. But I implore ...

Becoming God's True Woman
Nancy Leigh DeMoss

Crossway Books, 2008

A charge to women to recover what the feminist revolution has robbed them of: the God-given beauty, wonder, and treasure of their distinctive calling and mission. The feminist revolution was supposed to bring women greater fulfillment and freedom. Yet women today feel anything but fulfilled and free because they have lost the distinctiveness and richness of their calling as women. Now a movement is spreading seeds of hope, humility, ...

Crossway Books, 2005

Fun, appealing, and truthful
Right from the introduction, I could tell that "Girl Talk" was going to be one of those books that I was going to look for every opportunity to pick up and read. The candid and humorous way that it is written made it appealing. And I found the way that they presented biblical truths about womanhood and mother-daughter relationships to be applicable, encouraging, and at times personally ...

Shopping For Time
Carolyn Mahaney is one of my favorite authors. What I enjoy so much about her books is how consistently loyal she is to the Biblical text and how personal and practical she responds to those passages in her writing. Her two other books-Feminine Appeal, a book about Titus 2 and Girl Talk, a book for moms and daughters about Biblical womanhood-have been instrumental in my personal growth and ...

Feminine Appeal

Crossway Books, 2004

Biblical, inspiring, and fun to read!
After reading quite a few books on biblical femininity, Feminine Appeal is the best I have ever encountered. Mahaney faithfully explained what real Godly womanhood is and supported every major point with multiple, soundly-interpreted Words of God. As opposed to some other books that incorporates the cultural image of housewives, Mahaney actually focused on the Truth, and not on her own ...

Sex, Romance, and the Glory of God: What Every Christian Husband Needs to Know

C.J. Mahaney at His Best
I felt a deep sense of deja vu as I read Sex, Romance, and the Glory of God. It took me only a few pages to realize that this book, in a condensed form, forms the basis for a chapter in Sex and the Supremacy of Christ (edited by John Piper and Justin Taylor). I had enjoyed that particular chapter of Sex and the Supremacy of Christ and felt certain I would likewise enjoy this lengthened version. ...

Family Life Publishing, 2003

A true help for any couple
This kit was truly helpful. It contains a book and several sealed cards for "date nights". The book is a guide to renewing intimacy in a marriage (not to be confused with sex)and I found it to be insightful, direct, and real. The dates were simple and had far more impact than anticipated. I discovered a stronger relationship with my spouse and we communicate on a much better level.

Love That Lasts: When Marriage Meets Grace

Crossway Books, 2006

Biblical marriage
This marriage book stands out because its focus is Biblical. Many Christian marriage books seem to come at marriage from a psychological angle first, then add verses to support that. This starts with a Biblical view of marriage and then moves towards each spouses practical responses to that view. A group of couples in our church recently went through this book and many found it to be very ...
