Lies Women Believe- And the Truth that Sets Them Free

4 stars (The Real Truth) - I think this is a good book for those people who are willing to take a deep look at themselves. I didn't agree with everything in the book, but many of the points that were made were eye openers. It might help, as well, for the less scholarly reader to have the workbook because a list of relevant scriptures aren't as readily available in the book. 3 stars (Almost great) - When I saw a book called "lies women believe" I thought my prayers had been answered! This book would have been ideal if they had left it at that but they had to go and spoil it with the nonsense about the truth that sets them free. A shame. 4 stars (Potentially Life Changing Book) - I had been a longtime listener to Nancy Leigh DeMoss's radio series (Revive our Hearts) on WAVA in the DC area and I finally picked up this book after hearing her talk about it for a long time. I loved the simple language and her forthrightness in going right to the heart of many of the 'lies' we believe today. And this book really hit home for me. I had known for some time that as Christians we are called to follow a different path than those who would live exclusively in the world and follow worldly ways. But no one before had ever specifically come out and said "When you buy into the American consumerist mentality that more things will make you happy, that is Satan speaking! That is a lie -- that you can find fulfillment in things! Only God's grace is sufficient for you! Christ alone can make you happy and to some degree, you will always feel unfulfilled until that day that you come home to His heavenly kingdom. Only there will you feel completely fulfilled." I absolutely LOVED the literary device that she used throughout the book. She starts each chapter with a letter from Eve to her friends, talking about the difficulties she has encountered since being thrown out of the garden of eden -- the difficulties with the children, the difficulties with her husband, her feelings of ...

The Five Love Languages- How to Express Heartfelt Commitment to Your Mate

5 stars (General evaluation) - 1.Is this an in depth presentation? This book discusses the five love languages and the variants of each. The book serves primarily to introduce the reader to these languages and their "dialects". There are also many examples in the book of how the different love languages operate in the lives of married couples. I would say that the book is a very good and workable introduction to the topic, but not an in depth presentation. 2.To what extent does the author address current situations? The five love languages are applicable to all people in all situations. These love languages are as old as the human race itself and that makes the book very topical. This book develops the theme of the five love languages around the covenant of marriage. Couples where spouses are not fulfilling each other's emotional needs will find a new approach to their marriages in this book. This book can also be applied to other relationships and the reader will learn to express his love to other people in a constructive manner. The book will also sensitise the reader to his own love language making it easier to communicate his need for love to other people. 3.Was there any new information? The five love languages discussed were new information to me. The love languages are: *Words of affirmation - the love that is communicated by speaking words of edification to a person. *Quality time - the love that is communicated by setting aside specific time to spend with a person. *Receiving gifts - the love that is communicated by giving gifts to a person. The gift can also be the gift of self. *Acts of service - the love that is communicated by being a servant to someone. *Physical touch - the love that is communicated by physically touching someone. 4.What impact did the book have on me? I did a bit of soul searching while reading this book. My inability to receive love from my father suddenly became clear: He did not love me in my primary love lang...
