I cannot think of anyone I would trust more to give Biblical advice on becoming more womanly, more loving, and a better marriage partner than Elisabeth Elliot. Another wonderful couple with the wisdom that can only be gained by maturity are Richard and Virginia Fugate. My husband and I were privileged to hear them speak at the Kansas homeschooling convention several years ago. I hope that when we are their age, my husband still speaks as tenderly of me as Mr. Fugate does of his wife. I encourage you to purchase a copy of Mrs. Fugate's book, On the Other Side of the Garden: Biblical Womanhood for Today's World. You can visit their home page and read selections from Mrs. Fugate's book.
Recommended Reading and Bible Study Aids God's Priceless Woman, A Bible Course for All Ages. This Bible study, written by Wanda Kennedy Sanseri is based on Titus 2: 3-5 and includes character studies of major women in the Bible. This is an excellent study, which I have used personally. You can order this book from Lifetime Books and Gifts, a home school family's business. Plus, you can also order the leader's guide so you can help change the lives of others. Reforming Marriage by Douglas Wilson. This book is one of a three-part series on courtship, marriage and family. I have all of these books and highly recommend them. This book is available from Canon Press. Becoming Heirs Together of the Grace of Life by Jeff and Marge Barth. Another good, Biblically-based book. Don't just take my word for it, read a review of it at Family Foundation Ministry. You can purchase this book directly from the Barth's by calling Parable Publishing House at 1-802-462-2002. You can also find this book at Lifetime Books and Gifts. |
