for fundamentalist christians only

This is that boring drivel that fundamentalist write up all the time. It is the same old thing over and over which oppresses women!

Women’s Bible Study

Pastor chose this book for our women’s Bible study and from the beginning it’s been a beautiful book to read, we’ve all enjoyed it and have all grown closer.

It literally changed my life.

Wonderful book. So eye opening and so many tears shed. Definitely get the "workbook" that goes with this. It makes an amazing study, with intriguing questions that will get your mind spinning and your heart healing. I recommend it to everyone I talk to. Literally.

Be weary of the ISBN, if it ends in -73, you won’t get the version that goes with the Study Guide.

This ISBN 0802475973 does not go with the “Study Guide”.

Lies women believe helped me see lies I never even thought I beelieve.

This book showed me things in my marriage that I was really struggling with. It will you help see lies that you thought are so true, but there are scriptures that show you the real truth. It was hard to read sometimes but I asked God to open my heart to the truth so I can be set free. There is another book that I really recommend reading to further a deeper freedom and deliverance, Freedom by Chris Hogdes. It is a curriculum that changed my life and my marriage.

I ordered two items.

I ordered two items. The book and the audio book. I received the book, which is a great value. The audio book never arrived. My order was to arrive by September 4. It didn't. I sent an email regarding the purchase and was informed that I would receive a refund. I'm still waiting for the refund.

Another great book by Nancy Leigh DeMoss

I purchased this book for my wife. She has used it to minister to other women and found the material to be very plain and easy to relate to those she has worked with at church.

Excellent Book

I stongly believe that this book deals with issues that many couples and individuals drag around for their entire lives and end up bringing into their marriges.

Be open-minded: This book is worth reading.

We don't need to agree with this book entirely to find it worth reading. Do NOT hesitate to buy it just because other reviewers found the book disagreeable. That may be precisely the reason why we should read it -- use it as a springboard for intelligent discussion! I found that many parts of the book were eye-opening and revelational, even if I personally remain undecided about some of DeMoss's opinions. Many intelligent women may find themselves offended by DeMoss's conservative viewpoints, especially with regard to her stance against the use of birth control. As a single, professional woman, I, too, was at first taken aback by her statement that the highest calling for women was to be a wife and mother. ***However, DeMoss herself is a single woman and has no children of her own.*** If you read carefully, she later clarifies that it is the highest calling IF it is God's calling for your particular life, obviously. The apostle Paul said that his own personal view was that it was better to be single in order to be fully devoted to God. Lies Women Believe helps uncover how everyone, including men, are subtly deceived by today's modern society. She inspects today's popular beliefs held by most American women and clearly shows how it deviates from the simple, undeniable truth as written in God's Word. A must-read! Great for small groups.

Life changing, helped me weathered through a major trial

Some friends gave me this book after my husband announced that he was leaving our 17+ year marriage. It changed my life. I had been walking with the Lord for 12+ years but this book totally changed my perspective about my beliefs; my value as a person, mother, and wife; and my priorities. I credit this book as the "one" that pulled everything together from my previous bible studies and devotions, and gave me a sense of confidence and strong suit of armor to walk through the hell of divorce. I recommend this to ANYONE, married, single, old, or young. I did a study with this book with my two teen daughters and they are developing into very solidly grounded young ladies despite the divorce. Thank you Nancy for changing my life.

Men believe these lies too -- Here is an antidote!

How do we really gauge who we are, our importance, our value? Whose yardstick do we measure ourselves by? Why do we sin, when we know it is wrong, when we know what the consequences are? What happens when we have misguided ideas about the nature of God? This scripture-based book will gently guide you back to the truth. It brought me to my knees in recognition of how I can so easily sin when I truly believe. Nancy Leigh DeMoss writes, "When we are not honest with each other, we actually do Satan's work for him, acting as his agents, deceiving and destroying each other." She then gives suggestions for overcoming our selfish and sinful tendencies and growing in our love for God and others. DeMoss has written a powerful, thought-provoking book!
