1. Damsels in Distress: Biblical Solutions for Problems Women Face by Martha Peace ****[Read from August 17 to September 04]
Great little book. There
are three sections, the first dealing with problems we have with others,
such as gossip and hurt feelings. The second section deals with
problems with ourselves, such as vanity and legalism. The third section
deals with problems with the world, which was probably my favorite,
consisting of three chapters--the first on the feminist influence, the
second on the role of women in the church, the third with thankfulness
amid trials.
Each section has examples, charts, Bible verses, and questions for yourself.
I
appreciated the advice to step back and take time to think about a
response to others when you are tempted to lash out when feeling
emotionally upset.
The section on legalism was good, except I
don't agree that hair length is merely cultural. I appreciated this
balance: "Do not too quickly label people as legalists just because they
have stricter or different personal standards than you. Legalism is
not what you or they do but what you or they think about what you do."
Last,
but not least, there is an appendix on salvation. It lists a good
number of Scripture verses about Jesus, His mission, sin, and clearly
lays out that salvation is all of grace.
