The Proverbs 31 Woman

Rating:
Summary: The best on the art of being a woman
Review: I don't remember ever reading Proverbs 31, much less knowing anything about the "Proverbs 31 Woman". Even though my parents, especially my mother, raised me in the church and taught me "womanly" skills, it just couldn't compare to what I learned from this book. Each chapter deals with a verse from this chapter in Proverbs. There are explanations of each trait as well as many examples. The author is very direct in her writing, and gives many modern day suggestions on how to let the "Proverbs 31" woman be a guide to everyday living. My first marriage was not Christ-centered, and since this one is, I constantly search for guidance in being the best Christian wife and mother I can be. One area the author especially shed light on is "submission." My old way of thinking kept relating "submissiveness" to being a doormat. Because of this book, and similar ones that help interpret Scripture, I've got a whole new attitude toward "submission" and a wonderfully happy marriage. For any woman looking for a role model in being a strong woman, wife, and/or mother, I highly recommend this book. It's an enjoyable read!

Summary: Characteristics and roles of a godly woman!
Review: This book focuses on preparing women for marriage, motherhood and ministry. It may not be popular with the feminists of our day who believe freedom and self-realization mean having no commitments and responsibilities for others. As a woman first submits her will, life and future to God, who created her, she can then begin to find out who she truly was meant to be in this life.
