Such an enjoyable read, an informative read, and a read that will (Lord willing) enable me to better glorify God in my reading.
We like the readers on the whole, but the italics have small flourishes that made some of the line characters looked like hooks.
George Gilder is an intellectual giant able to take deep cultural and philosophical concepts and trace them all the way down to practical human experience. His thesis on men, women, and the essential nature of marriage as the building block of society, as well as proving all the ways that society goes wrong without monogamous, covanental marriage. Some of the statistics quoted are dated, which goes to show just how ahead of the time Gilder really was. If you didn’t know it, you could think that Gilder wrote the book today. Perhaps it’s not to late to learn from him and course correct our culture back towards men and marriage.
This book takes a scalpel to the roots of bitterness that tangle themselves within a heart. I reread it about every 6 months. I have also ordered many to give away and keep it stocked in our church's resource area. I really cannot recommend this book enough.
I really wanted to learn how to sing the psalms. I go to a Baptist Church. We sing some of these hymns but we never sing psalms so I wanted to learn how to do it with the help of this book and the videos online it's very helpful for learning.
This is a fun book to read with the kids. The animation is top notch. It's a lot of fun to read over and over again.
Such an important message we Christian women need to hear. How DO we define ourselves? Rebecca uncovers the ways many of us have absorbed the world's definition of what we (women) should be, and how we can confidently stand firm in Christ's calling for women.
I listened to this and it was wonderful to hear Nancy's voice as she read it. Solid Biblical counsel from a wise, beautiful, older woman.
I loved the cover and anticipated equally humorous contents inside, intermingled with the truths of Scripture, however the contents, while true and important, didn’t grab one’s attention like I’d imagined it would. It’s easy enough to read (I read 45 pages in 30 minutes with decent retention), but I’m not excited about reading the last bit. I’ll still pass it on to my adult sons for their wives’ benefits.
This book is three years of counseling in a very concise, clear, palatable read that brings hope into what may seem like a hopeless marriage. Even if your spouse won’t read it- this can change your marriage.
