Rating: Summary: For Tender Hearts Only! Review: Every Christian wife and wife-to-be should read this book! The challenges of living a Christ-centered life in today's feminist society are addressed truthfully in an atmosphere of experience and humor. But this book is for the woman who truly desires to live her life in obedience to her Saviour. If you are searching for a closer walk with your Lord and are willing to soften your heart before Him, you will not believe the blessings you will receive! This is a message that is sorely lacking in today's church, and one that is greatly needed. See what God can do with your marriage, and enjoy the unparalleled blessings of growing old with your husband.
Rating: Summary: Not for Every "Christian" Marriage! Review: I found this book challenging. Many times, as I considered the authors thoughts and experiences, I realized that much of my view of myself as a woman needed to be challenged. My perception of marriage has been shaped and molded by outside influences, not by the bible. As a Christian, I needed to be shaken up. Virginia Fugate presents this in a way that helps you take a hard look at where you stand and why you're there. I appreciate her presentation and that she has spent much of her adult life working to develop her walk as a woman who truly wants to live as God created her to.

Rating: Summary: Biblical womanhood made clear! Review: Mrs. Fugate deals biblically with the controversial topic of women's roles or what is termed "Biblical Womanhood." Although this book challenged many of my beliefs (being raised in a feminist home), as a Christian I knew that Mrs. Fugate was right on! I recommend this book to every woman who desires to know her role according to the final authority, the Bible.

Rating: Summary: Somewhat Helpful, But Overall Vague Review: This book did highlight some great points about the purpose of women. However, it mostly focused the whole book on Adam and Eve. I wish that it would have included more examples of other women in the Bible because obviously the story of Adam and Eve does not talk about her relationship with other people. It briefly discusses Proverbs 31, but pretty much skips the part about her working selling clothing and other items. There are just so many more excellent examples of women in the Bible that are overlooked in this book. I agree that it is the woman's highest calling to serve her husband, but I also believe that the Lord calls us to many other things (this is not mentioned). I would not suggest this book if you have been educated because it makes several vague accusations against different fields of study that are innacurate and invalid arguments.
Rating: Summary: on the other side of the garden. Review: This book is absurd! It presents one woman's opinions as facts and totally distorts the truth. It is an embarrasment to myself as a christian. Don't waste your time reading it. I recommend going straight to the Bible if you need help with biblical womanhood.

Rating: Summary: the other side of the garden Review: This book is well written, logical, and well supported with biblical references. It is not "politically correct" but rather "biblically correct" and I highly recommend it to anyone (woman or man) who is married or contemplating marriage.
