“The problem of shallow Christian teaching pervades women’s conferences, retreats, ministries, and devotional books. We have heard the same message time and time again—a message meant to empower us to live better lives. Yet no matter how many times we hear it, change evades us. If this message is so powerful, why haven’t our lives, marriages, and experiences of motherhood changed for the better? Why does the Christian life still feel so heavy if Jesus promised His burden was light (Matthew 11:30)?”
After reading this sentence I knew this book was for me. I knew it would be life changing but I wasn’t sure if it was a book “the church” was ready for. I’ve been following Phylicia for a few years and I’ve admired
1. How disciplined she is in her faith
2. How she teaches the Word of God to women in a non fluff tradition which. you usually find with devotional and bibles studies geared to women.
This book is a must read for women. No, it’s not the you are God’s princess book that is pushed in stores, in churches and on social media. This book is about accountability, evaluating where you are in your faith and deciding if what you’re doing now is really growing your faith. I have to admit when I evaluated my life I felt the instant shame but I also felt hope. Knowing I could change if I was disciplined enough and actually wanted change.
The only thing stopping me from giving this a 5 star was all of chapter 4. It was so disappointing reading all of the judgment in that chapter. And I understand the point she was trying to make with her thoughts on social media but her approach was off putting and made me want to stop reading.
All is all a solid 4 star read. I look forward to Phylicia’s future books and blogs.
