The Fruit of Her Hands: Respect and the Christian Woman


Editorial Review: "Imagine where the Church would be today if the men in it were respected as they ought to be by their wives. What power would God unleash through godly men who were respected in their homes?Wives, instead of focusing on your husband's problems and shortcomings, look at what you are supposed to be doing yourself.In the Song of Solomon we read, "Like an apple tree among the sons." So what is your perspective when you look at your husband? Is it biblical or does it stem from all those modern lies which surround us?"


This book is truly amazing! I suggest this book to all Christian women. In 109 easy-quick read pages( took me only a few days to get through AND I looked up verses while reading) the author covers everything about marriage and how to make a happier one and avoid the many pitfalls of modern marriage. I am so inspired. This book had me really examining the essence of my being and way I run my house and submit to my biblical role in marriage.

This is indeed an excellent book. This is one of the books along with "The Excellent Wife" by Martha Peace, that changed my marriage. We celebrated our 14 year anniversary this year, 8 years ago, I wasn't sure we would make it this far, and then God opened my eyes to the woman that He truly wanted me to be!
