Product Description
Have you struggled to reconcile God's vision of virtuous womanhood with worldly myths that marginalize and mock the role of the homemaker? Do you wrestle with cultural messages that demean the homemaker s calling and exalt instead the emotionally androgynous power-woman---the wife whose worth is measured only by the degree of her self-ambition, the shape of her body, or her money-making skills? Delightfully fresh and honest, Passionate Housewives Desperate for God debunks the modern 'desperate housewife' myth and provides fresh vision for the homemaker. Hear a former Christian feminist share how she went from a die-hard homemaker-in-training to a dedicated career woman, and then back again---after God gripped her heart. See the hollow counterfeit of whitewashed feminism and me-ology destroyed. And consider the beautiful picture painted in Scripture of the truly fulfilled homemaker who glories in the hopeful calling God created for her. Pull up a chair, dust off the cookie crumbs, and join Jennie Chancey and Stacy McDonald as they they lay aside demeaning stereotypes like the 'Stepford wife,' and reveal the 1950s' 'perfect homemaker' trap. Laughter and tears will flow, and hopefully you will be infused with a renewed vision for victory as a wife and mother. Discover what it means to be a passionate housewife 'desperate' for God alone!

It has inspired me and renewed my devotion, and reminding me that I need to turn to the Bible in ALL instances! Great read, I highly recommend it!!!

While I have thought that women should submit to their own husbands for a long time now, this book reminded me to watch my daily walk. It is so refreshing to see authors stand up for what the Bible actually teaches. To take it literally and not "dumb down" Scripture. Thank you, thank you for your bold, beautiful book. I hope for all of the women who have been raised by Christian feminists, this will open your eyes to the beauty and truth of Scripture. My own experience is this: In the beginning of our marriage I wanted the control. My husband was a tad passive, so I took the reigns and ran. Our marriage suffered and it wasn't until God showed me in His word, that no matter how passive my husband is, I needed to obey God and submit to my husband. Our marriage has blossomed and my husband is now actively taking leadership and I have been truly blessed. What I'm saying is that these authors know what they're talking about, because they're following God's Word. Be blessed by this book. It has truly been helpful for me.

About time someone stood up for the role of motherhood in America. So many women are taught they can "have it all" by having a career and kids. Look at our country- we are losing it all. The hearts need to be turned back to our children. This book identifies some common problems and helps you to see them for what they are!
