I'm posting this both here and in the Tea Parlour.
I have read the first several chapters of Becoming a Woman Who Pleases God and have looked over the rest. The first several deal mostly with scripture, worldview, and attitudes...the other chapters start to move into pratical outworkings in the home.
I know we have a good mix of married ladies and young ladies that might one day be married. Even for those that may remain single, this is still a wonderful book. The book is co-authored by two ladies that are professors of home economics at The Master's College...one is single (I believe) and the other married with children.
If you are interested in going through this book with me in the Parlour, please let me know. I know we have discussed doing studies in the past and they didn't stick...but due to the area of the home, preparation for marriages, organization, etc...I thought this might be a good topical study.
This is the Amazon Editorial Review:
Book Description
There is an enormous amount of confusion and deception about what it means to be a woman. Even within the church, women are continually struggling to define their femininity. Pat Ennis and Lisa Tatlock tackle the difficult question of "What makes a godly woman?" with warmth, compassion, and directness in Becoming a Woman Who Pleases God. Readers will find themselves challenged to re-think their priorities, re-examine the position of the home, and re-work their definition of what it means to be a woman in whom God is well pleased.
About the Author
Lisa Tatlock is an associate professor of Home Economics at The Master's College in Santa Clarita, California. Lisa and her husband, Mark, live with their two young boys in California.
Pat Ennis is professor and establishing chairperson of the Department of Home Economics at The Master's College in Santa Clarita, California. Dr. Ennis has almost 30 years' experience integrating faith and learning into the home economics discipline.
This is a portion of the back:
Wise women live by God's timeless, unchanging standard. They want to know what He thinks. They do what He commands. The y love Him. They infuse their homes, their families, and their churches with care, dignity, and grace. According to educators and authors Pat Ennis and Lisa Tatlock, a wise and godly woman exhibits a number of world-enriching characteristics:
Virtue
Energy
Economy
Trustworthiness
Physical Fitness
Prudence
Unselfishness
Preparedness
Honorability
Lovability
Most importantly, though, they are God-Fearing. They understand God's expectations--as described in the Bible--and they follow them.
I only request that those participating aquire the book as it will require personal reading.
