Feminine Appeal by Carolyn Mahaney. (Seven Virtues of a Godly Wife and Mother
It felt like it took forever to arrive but now that it has I'm thinking for the sake of my exams it maybe would have been better if it taken a bit longer. I seriously have to restrain myself from sitting and reading it from front to back, so far I have limited myself to the first two chapters and girls...you should all read. Especially if you are a parent. Carolyn keeps bringing everything back to the gospel, since this all started from Titus 2...the purpose of being transformed by Titus 2 is that the word of God may not be reviled (v5), so that an opponent may be put to shame, having nothing evil to say about us (v8), and so that in everything (we) may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour(v10).
I will leave you with a little bit to whett the old appetite...
"Our conduct has a direct influence on how people think about the gospel. The world doesn't judge us by our theology; the world judges us by our behaviour. People don't necessarily want to know what we believe about the Bible. They want to see if what we believe makes a difference in our lives. Our actions either bring honour to God or misrepresent His truth."
I should really be disappearing for a while until I get the finals out of the way :) May the grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.
