I've just finished reading the book by John Eldrige called 'Wild at heart'. If you're a Christian bloke - read it. If you're a Christian chick - read it. AS a chick you might not like it at it does away with the image of the 'nice Christian guy'... but that's not what i'm here to talk about. Read the book for yourself and let me know what you think.
I want to know where the book is that tells us how to be real women! Have a look at the chicks in scripture... a close look. Are they really what we paint them to be? Subserviant, docile, eager to please... a dutiful house wife... most guys, well some guys anyway, will will cheer 'here here!'. Or do we have to other extreme, what the world would have us be. Either a ball busting, control freak, type A, wanna be bloke who scares the crap out of most people, or a bikini clad, rocket scientist and enjoys running half naked in the surf while finding the cure for cancer?
I don't know what the answer is yet, but I'm not particularly interested in any of these models... there must be more to being a woman of God...

lit. trans 'I don't know, it's all greek to me'. The more I learn, the less I know. The closer I get to God the less I understand everything, except for His grace...
When all is said and done... In the moment where time stands still and you are painfully aware of who you are... When the movie plays back and you see who you used to be... There can be nothing but a heart-cry of 'only you God'...

Check out Captivating by John and Stasi Eldredge
Same author (with his wife this time), but this book's for women.
