It is a very good book to read, also helps me keeping my focuse into the right things, as well as it is full of biblical back up's in each chapter. <br /><br />The only parts I didn't liked about this book, is when she writes about one of the duties about being a wife is having children, being a mother. As well as writing about the man and the wife are supposed procreating, as well as being in "One in the flesh". I sure agree about the last part, but procreation doesn't fit for me and my husband.<br /><br />I do understand that in the biblical times it was very important for humans to be multiplying, and those who couldn't bear any children would be looked down on or being looked at with shame. Also whenever we do come across certain bible verses where such things are written, my husband reminds me about how it was in the biblical time and that we should look at it more like how it was back then, and to not view it as something that one has to be doing during today's society. <br /><br />When reading those parts where this author talks about these things, I mostly look away from it and take in all the other things that are more fit for my walk in Christ. As a friend of mine told me once; "Not everything written in a book is directly meant for me." <br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01023339851205563299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793956811762673430.post-25551558618614036642009-10-03T09:26:17.219-04:002009-10-03T09:26:17.219-04:00Thank you both for your comments.

Growing up in the Baptist church, I was always taught to have a good, healthy respect for Mary, though we did not elevate her to the level that our Catholic sisters and brothers do.<br /><br />But as you alluded, Jamie, this verse takes on a whole new meaning when looking through the eyes of a childfree person in a motherhood-obsessed culture.I.am.freehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08471958566515922377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793956811762673430.post-88536382967332003732009-10-02T14:31:22.035-04:002009-10-02T14:31:22.035-04:00That sounds like the first hail Mary!

It's great to know there are like-minded Christians out there. They are hard to come by at my church filled with young families.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793956811762673430.post-91754601144511334872009-09-30T22:35:01.639-04:002009-09-30T22:35:01.639-04:00I must highlight Luke 11:27-28 in my Bible!
