Editorial Reviews

Product Description:
Imagine where the Church would be today if the men in it were respected as they ought to be by their wives. What power would God unleash through godly men who were respected in their homes?

Wives, instead of focusing on your husband’s problems and shortcomings, look at what you are supposed to be doing yourself.

In the Song of Solomon we read, “Like an apple tree among the sons.” So what is your perspective when you look at your husband? Is it biblical or does it stem from all those modern lies which surround us?

This book changed my marriage by Tracy Babarsky
I first read this book over five years ago. I had just become a Christian and it was recommended on a website I was visiting. I had not been brought up in a Christian home and has no idea what being a godly woman or wife was all about. I had prayed for a long time that God would show me and show me He did. This book was amazing! Mrs. Wilson writes with a warmth that makes you feel as if you are sitting across the table sharing a cup of tea with a close friend. While her words are convicting and challenging and will make you really think and realize the great need you have of God’s grace in your role as a wife, you will also find it to be a book compassionatly written. Married to an unbeliever? This book addresses it and gives wise, godly counsel. This book forever changed my marriage from the first day I read it and I still get something new out of it each time I re-read it. If you can only buy one book on a Christian marriage buy this one! Don’t let all the hype over some newer ones get to you, I read many books that speak to my role as a Christian wife and none have ever surpassed or even come a close second to this amazing work!

Great for single women!!! by Jeanne Wetzel
I’m in the “Career Class” at my church…this class is for singles out of college, yet under 35. My Bible study leader gave this to me to help out in a completely different area of my life than that of husband/wife and it helped immensely. Because of the profound effect it had on me, my dear leader went on to purchase copies for all the dating girls in our class and I couldn’t be more happy.

If you are a Christian woman who is ready to be smacked with the truth and you are interested in the Progressive Sanctification mindset of GROWING and CHANGING…this little gem of a book is for you!

WOOT! for Reformed Theology!!

What Fruit? by JR Corry
For a book with such an empowering title for women, it sure doesn’t give them much credit. This book stresses the message that a woman’s only calling is to produce children and support her husband relentlessly. Wilson seems very frightened of what might happen if she so much as disrespects her husband once or isn’t there for him enough. For example, she advises treating your body like your husband’s garden so he may enjoy it whenever he pleases and always having your breasts available to him because he might be tempted by another woman’s breasts (this gave me a humorous image of a woman thrusting her chest in her husband’s face when he glances at another woman). There seems to be a note of fear in these words, as though Wilson truly feels a husband will stray if he’s not constantly reminded that he can have sex with his wife. If Wilson’s so concerned about disrespecting men, maybe she should consider how disrespectful that presumption of male lust sounds. This book has such a negative view of women that it harps on and on about how we need men to take care of us because we apparently can’t take care of ourselves. Both sexes are portrayed badly here; if I couldn’t take care of myself, I certainly wouldn’t want to be in the care of a man who needed a constant view of my breasts to keep from straying! The book is full of offensive remarks about marriage, particularly the claim that it’s not a partnership. What does two becoming one mean, if not a partnership and a joining together? The book also preaches that the husband is head of the wife, though the usage of the word here is different than the Biblical one. Constant comments such as, “you must always refer to your head; your head has the final say” imply that Wilson believes women, upon marriage, should give up use of their brains and place their husband’s heads literally on their own shoulders. This goes far beyond loving and respecting a husband in a Godly way. I cannot see how people can embrace this book, but I’m going to caution women to stay away from it; try Liz Curtis Higgs instead. One final note of interest: inspite of Wilson’s many different suggestions of how to sexually please your husband (because he might get bored if you stick to one way), her own husband, in his book for men, says quite plainly that he believes sex is a duty and doesn’t need spark in order to be pleasing. I wonder if his wife knows this?…

One Every Christian Wife Should Read…and Reread by Jennifer Gray
This book takes biblical principles directly from God’s word to give women a guide as to how to be a godly wife. Our ultimate calling is to our Lord first, our husbands next and our families after that. This book is convicting regardless of how great you believe you’re doing as a wife.
