Pride takes the feminist movement on point-by-point and explains where they have missed the mark. Why was I failing at my life's goal? What was I missing? Why through all my striving was I never any nearer my dreams? I soon found out the answers to these questions through a couple of eye-opening books.Ībout 10 years into my marriage I read Mary Pride's The Way Home*. I wanted to be a stay-at-home mom and full-time wife. Prayer and pleading with God was not seeming to get me any nearer my goal. I had given my life to God in high school. I was discouraged, downcast, and without much hope. We were unhappy, fought all the time, disagreed on everything, and were generally miserable. Nothing was turning out the way I had hoped and planned. I married at a fairly young age, 19, and set out to have a glorious marriage and make a happy home. I just choked them down while being force-fed by "experts" I never questioned.
However, the problem was I never stopped to question these philosophies. I got caught up in the prevalent thought of the day.
#Fascinating womanhood for the timeless woman full#
I was taught the full range of feminist ideals as were most girls my age.
If you figure my age this made me a youngster during the swinging 60's and a teen in the free-love 70's. I was born in the mid-1950's near the end of the baby-boom years. The teachings are not only relevant to our current society, but they are timeless - they will endure as long as the human race does. The teachings of Fascinating Womanhood are so far removed from today's woman, that at first glance it's hard to believe anyone really practices them, but I can tell you from experience they work. Many women can attest that their lives have been changed for the better by changing their own world-view to one that incorporates these teachings. I am one of the moderators of the mailing list found at the address below. I thought you might like to know a little about someone whose life has been changed because of applying Godly principles - namely me.
