Passionate Housewives Desperate for God


This book is very helpful in so many ways. For one thing, both Mrs. McDonald and Mrs. Chancey are spot on in their analysis of where our culture is and where Christian women are at this point in time. Women used to assume that home making was their sacred calling. Now, home making is viewed as almost irrelevant. How much skill does one need to run a home, some reason.


This book dispells many myths about the home maker and about what it means to be a family. It also explains carefully the issues involved in feminist interpretions of Scripture. Mrs. McDonald very kindly says that a feminist can be a Christian, but that there is no such thing as Christian feminism. The two paradigms are mutually exclusive. I heartily agree.

Also, the neo-Gnostic tendencies in feminist theology, even within its Evangelical forms, are clearly exposed.

There is a strong appeal to Christian women for a return to the home making and child bearing role, a woman's sacred calling. Please give this book and its message your consideration.

So Encouraging!

This book has been a huge encouragement and blessing to me. It has a silly title in my opinion, but the content is pure gold. The authors write in an easy to follow way that just blessed me and encouraged me as a stay at home mom of 4 kids.

My life is looked down on many (I'm an oddity...living in a large city, downtown with 4 kids whom I home educate). This book was such a blessing to read. My heart felt thanks to the authors :)

Convicting.

This was an excellent book. Be prepared to be challenged however, this is not a feel good its all about YOU type of book, of which there are far too many popular christian books today. No room for excuses and whining about how hard parenting is. Truly a biblical message about relying on Christ's strength to do all that He asks of you with joy. And the author has seven children so she can definitely speak to the challenges of parenting.

Have you struggled to reconcile God's vision of virtuous womanhood with worldly myths that marginalize and mock the role of the homemaker? Do you wrestle with cultural messages that demean the homemaker s calling and exalt instead the emotionally androgynous power-woman---the wife whose worth is measured only by the degree of her self-ambition, the shape of her body, or her money-making skills?

Delightfully fresh and honest, Passionate Housewives Desperate for God debunks the modern 'desperate housewife' myth and provides fresh vision for the homemaker. Hear a former Christian feminist share how she went from a die-hard homemaker-in-training to a dedicated career woman, and then back again---after God gripped her heart. See the hollow counterfeit of whitewashed feminism and me-ology destroyed. And consider the beautiful picture painted in Scripture of the truly fulfilled homemaker who glories in the hopeful calling God created for her.

Pull up a chair, dust off the cookie crumbs, and join Jennie Chancey and Stacy McDonald as they they lay aside demeaning stereotypes like the 'Stepford wife,' and reveal the 1950s' 'perfect homemaker' trap. Laughter and tears will flow, and hopefully you will be infused with a renewed vision for victory as a wife and mother. Discover what it means to be a passionate housewife 'desperate' for God alone!
