You aren't one of those women, and I know that you, like me, read a plethora of things and appreciate & glean, and don't sweat the small stuff. That said, this book is (if i remember correctly) mostly on respect in marriage, some on contentment, some on homemaking -- and that gem of a chapter on Principles and Methods, which covers some good things on respect between Christian women. Oh, and the Lovemaking chapter which covers..lovemaking, naturally :). She addresses specific obstacles that married women may encounter in having an abundant sex life .. her advice would be sooo helpful to so many women.. such a good perspective -- I'll definitely be giving this one to our daughters. While our doctrine is not identical to Nancy's, I deeply appreciate her and love her teaching. This week I am reading her book called Praise Her In The Gates, on mothering. So we'll see how that goes. I already got all excited about the chapter on raising sons.. read it to Rich and he "AMEN'd" it to DEATH the whole time I was reading. So we liked that chapter and picked out some ideas for our own family to implement now.... and I have more to read!
