After much anticipation, Passionate Housewives: Desperate for God is finally off the presses and ready for ordering!
As I wrote earlier this month:
There are many good books. There are some really good books. And then there are a those few and far between books which deserve to be called a "truly excellent book."From the publishers:
Passionate Housewives: Desperate for God is one book which definitely fits the excellent category.
In an age of constant confusion and conflict over the role of women, this book provides a clear-cut message of biblical encouragement and hope for every woman who truly desires to glorify the Lord as a wife, mother, and homemaker.
Written over the course of two years by two devoted and Godly homemakers, Jennie Chancey and Stacy McDonald, Passionate Housewives: Desperate for God is without a doubt one of the best and most encouraging books I have ever read. Whether you are a young married woman, a mom of twelve, or anywhere in between, you need to read this book.
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 ambition, the shape of her body, or her money-making skills? Such is the image of the "desperate housewife" that the modern media, culture, and feminism are promoting with great energy.
In a delightfully fresh and honest way, this book addresses these issues head-on and provides fresh vision for the hopeful 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 lay aside stereotypes like the "Stepford wife" and dispel such myths as the 1950s "perfect homemaker." 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!
After reading only the first chapter, I told my husband, "I wish I could give this book to every woman I know." It is just that good, ladies.
