Feminine Appeal by Cayolyn Mahaney

Feminine Appeal
Seven Virtues of a Godly Wife and Mother 

Carolyn Mahaney has recognized, "we are profoundly disoriented about who God is and who we are, and about our calling and mission in life - as women" (p 13) and her response, through Feminine Appeal, is beautiful.  Simply put, Carolyn walks through Titus 2 with more wisdom and love than I've seen before.
From Titus 2, verses 3-5: 

Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers or slaves to much wine.  They are to teach what is good, and so train the young women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled, pure, working at home, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be reviled.

As Carolyn states, "no matter what your age or season of life - whether you are a grandmother or a high school student - this passage is applicable to you".  I would further agree that Carolyn's book is just as widely applicable and beneficial.  Her heart does not desire a list of rules for women to live by, but a pursuit towards Biblical femininity and godliness so that the word of God may not be reviled.  "This is your opportunity to sit at the feet of a woman who has been farther down the path than you and who is equipped to help you understand and embrace God's plan and purpose for your life" (p 15).  It is not only Carolyn's writing, but her marriage, family, and life that teach and exemplify the femininity that God so lovingly intended for us.  Every Christian woman should read this book!

Lastly, Carolyn, please keep writing!
