...is a fabulous book that i just finished reading (apparently i am in the mood to endorse things and promote them). if you are a wife or mother you have to read this. scratch that, if you are female you have to read this. the premise: seven virtues of a Godly wife and mother based upon Titus 2:3-5. and, if you aren't a wife or mom yet, it is good Biblical Truth to get into your brain until you get to that point. here are the seven virtues she discusses:
1. the delight of loving my husband
2. the blessings of loving my children
3. the safety of self-control
4. the pleasure of purity
5. the honor of working at home
6. the rewards of kindness
7. the beauty of submission
normally i don't heart books with a certain number of steps or bullet points, that insist if you master these numerous things you will be whatever it claims. i am fine with it in this case because carolyn draws these virtues directly from Scripture.
"Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers or slaves to much wine. They are to teach what is good, and so train the young women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled, pure, working at home, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be reviled." Titus 2:3-5 ESV
read it! you will be encouraged, challenged, and blessed. and who wouldn't want that???
