Summary: An "EXCELLENT" Book !
Review: This book gets to the core of what God desires for wives and provides the means to transform the reader from the inside out. It was refreshing to find a book that rejects the current philosophies of our time and supports the pure biblical order that God has set up -- one of true love and proper respect for one another. The author ought to be applauded for being able to show us where we've gone wrong and yet, we can walk away encouraged and equipped to become the "Excellent Wife" God desires us to be.

Summary: Get More Out of This Book--Slow Down, Think & Pray!
Review: Unfortunately, it has been my experience that the Christian book world is full of mediocre study guides with unimaginative exercises that fail to inspire or deepen the reader's experience. Happily, Martha Peace's study guide is a refreshing change from this trend. "The Excellent Wife" is indeed excellent and well worth the additional time and money it will cost you. Whether you agree with her theology or not, whether you are reading this book by yourself or as part of a larger group, this guide will encourage you to examine yourself and your relationship with God and your husband. The study guide is broken down into chapters that correspond with the chapters in the book. I especially appreciate the diversity in the types of questions within chapters. Some are a simple true/false, others ask you to consider scripture, to interpret a concept by applying it to your own life, or to take a moment to pray about a specific area. At points, it may ask you to redraw a diagram from the book or summarize a key concept. For some folks, this may seem like mindless repetition, but as an educator, I know that such exercises help us to internalize the information and reinforce ideas. Living in a culture that is full of rush, rush, rush, this study guide does a good job of slowing us down and encouraging us to put the brakes on our reading experience. It is tempting to speed through a book, fueled by our enthusiasm or desire to check one more thing off our to-do list. But we know that most real growth only comes slowly, after much reflection, prayer, and work. This study guide encourages this type of slow growth and helps us put a real foundation underneath our aspirations.
