I don't necessarily agree with EVERY point she makes, but most of them are right on! She addresses a lot of things that other people are afraid to touch. Truth is truth even if no one believes it. I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to grow in their Christian life. I just wish the scriptures were KJV.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-49760435846769991262007-02-26T08:11:00.000-08:002007-02-26T08:11:00.000-08:00Laura - yes, it is a good conversation starter (an...Laura - yes, it is a good conversation starter (and ender, too, if you aren't careful). <BR/><BR/>JRP - here, here!<BR/><BR/>BLF - Of course, I know where you are coming from. However, my remarks on this particular lie were very....particular. The majority of the population falls prey to the lie that the world is overpopulated and thus no one shoudl be thinking of having a large family. I expanded on that point (because I know a few people) that some people believing having ANY kids is flat out wrong. Family planning, over populations arguments and the like. You know how it goes. <BR/><BR/>My point is what I said: It's much easier on Satan to not have to worry about attacking a family that doesn't exist. <BR/><BR/>MM- No, I haven't read any of her other books! I really don't know anything about her. Would you recommend another title in particular?Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08772667430500306088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-41016687130757293512007-02-26T07:36:00.000-08:002007-02-26T07:36:00.000-08:00This is one of my favorite books of all times.

I didn't agree with every single point the author brought up, but I really enjoyed reading her reasoning and she brought up some GREAT points.<BR/><BR/>Have you read any of her other books?Mercy's Maidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02289821516382280204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-25521315919476788422007-02-24T14:29:00.000-08:002007-02-24T14:29:00.000-08:00As interesting as this book sounds, I'm a little d...As interesting as this book sounds, I'm a little disinclined to read it for fear I might have too many arguments with it. Couldn't the argument be made that one of the current "lies" women are believing as part of a new trend among certain Christian groups is that they are supposed to have a large family? I fell for this one before I realized that God doesn't bless everyone the same way. I have no children, and my husband and I could be completely content with that. And I like kids. But it's not really about whether or not I like children. If God gives us a child--that is, if we feel that the time comes for us to have children--so be it. But if we never feel a peace about it, I can't say that I'm going to jump on the bandwagon of "now we're married, so we'd better have kids." For me, one just doesn't follow naturally from the other.Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09964373798194372154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-77723266257378975482007-02-24T13:47:00.000-08:002007-02-24T13:47:00.000-08:00I read it several years ago before it was a "fad" ...I read it several years ago before it was a "fad" book (which is a good thing because I would so have brushed it off). I think the biggest thing for me is to get my brain to convince my heart (and subsequently inform my behavior and actions) that God really is love/loves me. Functional atheism is what I call it. I know in my head that God is all loving, all powerful, and all knowing but my actions say otherwise. Ah, heaven is going to be awesome. This whole sanctification process gets a little exhausting sometimes.Janice Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06834020038009794226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-76586813318951711252007-02-24T07:46:00.000-08:002007-02-24T07:46:00.000-08:00Sounds like it might be good as a conversation sta...Sounds like it might be good as a conversation starter.
