The wome...This sounds like a very worth while read. The women I respect most in my life are the ones who have taken the time to speak the truth, offered godly guidance, and encouragement from the Bible and their own lives when I needed it. When I think of the older women teaching the younger I think principle can be applied to ever stage and age of a woman's life: Grandmas teaching mothers, mothers teaching daughters, young ladies teaching little girls, even Great-Grandmothers teaching small girls and so on. Women and ladies of all ages should seek out godly counsel from those who've gone before them and live their own lives so that they might glorify God and serve to guide and aid others as they walk the path of life. It is an area most of us are greatly lacking and I think this book could benefit many of us in tuning our lives to be better reflections of Paul's charge.Marks of Faithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05354313646299849380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-35458436269986679432009-07-21T07:41:23.553-07:002009-07-21T07:41:23.553-07:00Great review!

It made me what to say "Amen!" a few times. <br /><br />I think embracing the differences God made in men and women is awesome and definitely not something our culture promotes in a positive way.<br /><br />I have another one of Hunt's books The True Woman, but haven't read it yet. I've seen this one around a couple of times and hope to read it in the future too. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing your experiences and being honest!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-5271568555876812842009-07-20T22:15:30.690-07:002009-07-20T22:15:30.690-07:00I have been learning about backing up and giving m...I have been learning about backing up and giving my loved ones over to God.

I've also been plagued with the "equality" thoughts. That coupled with a "strong" personality and a laid-back husband makes submission very difficult. But that's a story for another day.<br /><br />We currently attend a young church. Young in that it's only 7 or 8 years old and young in that 90% of the membership is under 25. I miss having older women around!! And as a homeschooling mom of 4 very young kids I don't have much time or energy left over to mentor the young women in our church. lol. I'm just rambling now so I'll stop. :)Stephanie Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02976709475515458563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-45779514614231006582009-07-20T12:16:06.822-07:002009-07-20T12:16:06.822-07:00I read these last two posts with interest. I feel ...I read these last two posts with interest. I feel I am kind of in the middle. I guess in some ways we all are -- we're older than some but younger than others and will still be looking ahead to see how older ladies handle their challenges until there aren't any ladies left who are older. :-)<br /><br />I've always wondered exactly what Paul had in mind in those verses in Titus as to the "how to" of older women teaching younger. I doubt they had classes and seminars in those days, though I think it's fine to have them today and I have benefited from them. If it is meant to be a one-on-one mentor and mentee relationship, I wonder how they're to get together. Someone gave me a flier she'd received at another church where they did just that -- paired people up. That seems awkward and artificial to me, but I guess it could work.<br /><br />In my own life, growing up as the only Christian in an unsaved family, a family from church simply had me over a lot, and a friendship developed. I don't think they officially took me on as a "project," but I saw their family interact, saw the mom submit to her husband and deal with her children (the oldest was my age but there were three younger), how she handled meals. She influenced me in many ways even though I'm fairly sure it was unconscious on her part.<br /><br />I'm convinced that hospitality is one of the best ways to mentor and be mentored -- just having people over and talking and observing will do a lot for both sides. Yet I don't exercise hospitality nearly enough. One of the distressing things to me, though, in our church now is that the younger married women and moms keep to themselves rather than getting together with the older women. They don't even come to ladies' meetings at church because "it's all older women." I've learned so much just from spending time with women of all ages -- I just don't understand that mind-set.<br /><br />I'm reading a book now called <i>Becoming God's True Woman</i> in which Susan Hunt has a couple of chapters. I saw that she had written the book you described here and thought about checking it out. Unfortunately the one chapter of hers I've read so far was my least favorite of the book. :-) But she has another coming up on mentoring, so I'm hoping that will be better.Barbara H.http://barbarah.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
