Have you ever heard the expression: It's like drinking from a fire hydrant?
That's how I feel about this book...
I have taken a really long time to read it because I have to keep stopping to process what I've just read!
I have highlighted so much of the book that Roddy said I should just highlight the stuff I don't want to remember because that might be easier.
If you have come to a point in your life where you no longer want to follow the culture and you want to know how the ways of the world have subtly crept into your mindset, I encourage you to read this book. It will challenge your thinking greatly!
...until we understand the relationship between mankind and womankind as God created them, and the way we can together reflect the image and glory of God, we can't fully understand what it really means to be women or how we can best serve God as women.
Another:
Women have really only two ways of relating to men: helping them lead poorly, for Satan's glory, or helping them lead well, for God's glory.
Throughout history, men have had to bear only the curse God gave directly to them. They work hard to provide for and protect their families. They don't bear children. In our society, women are freely embracing a double curse--the curse of the man (difficulty in providing) in addition to the curse of the woman (pain in childbirth).
Okay, last one:
The first ridiculers of homemaking were not ordinary women who had found a better, more fulfilling path. The ridiculers were the same Marxists...who knew there would be no cultural transformation if mothers continued to strengthen Christian civilization from their strong positions of influence in the home. They didn't want wives helping their husbands. They didn't want mothers training their children. They didn't want mothers teaching their children anything.
