Enjoy The Fruit Of Her Hands: Respect And The Christian Woman Curated By Nancy Wilson Listed As Softcover

concise, loving and “fruitful” read on the practical outworkings of being a Biblical woman specifically in the areas of marriage, child rearing and fellowship.
This was a great little book, one that only took a few hours to read but had so many deep thoughts in it that I will need to come back to it again and again.
I found this book very challenging in the best way possible, Nancy pointed out sins I didn't even realize that I had but now they seem so obvious.
And she doesn't just focus on sins of outward appearance this isn't just one woman's list of personal rules they are sins of the heart, based on God's word.
Having her example as a godly older woman really makes me feel like it is possible and, what's more, hopeful that God will work on these sins as I give them up to him.
I feel excited about how God can change me in my marriage and family, and this conviction was the first step.


I especially liked the chapter on not confusing "principles" vs, "methods". I think this concept will prove to be very helpful as I wade through all the choices that a young mother has to make, and ensuring I don't ruin my friendships in the process.
I also learned a lot about what it means to respect my husband, which is so important because the world we live in is so antirespect I realized that my version of respect isn't quite up to God's standard, yet.


Nancy is an extremely challenging and convicting writer, and that is something that all young women need in their lives.
I am thankful for this book and her ministry, I read this with my book club, It offered wisdom from a seasoned wife and mother on how to perform our roles to the glory of God.
I found the advice and admonitions helpful to me, I did disagree with her on a couple of points, but overall I needed these reminders of what I am to be doing.
It is a lay down my life for others situation and this message will not be told in our culture and sadly not even in the church very often.
Wonderful. I love how biblical and practical Nancy Wilson's book is,
Full review on my IG account: sitelink instagram. com/tv/CKpUPh, . . This book was directed more toward women who were already wives and mothers, but it still gave me, an unmarried young woman, quite a bit to think about and apply.
I think that one of the most valuable aspects of the book was that it showed me that the trials and temptations I struggle with now are ever present in the life of a Christian woman.
The attitudes I foster about the things I now face will really effect how my marriage and child rearing will go.
I get a head start! And if I don't begin to work on my character now I'll just have that much more to work on later.
Now there were a few points that I would disagree with the author on, but I found so much helpful information throughout the book.
I would say that this one is a keeper, Great encouragement for the wife!

Such a good biblical based message to wives.
It gave me both hope amp faith! I highly recommend this book to any Christian wife! This book was so good.
One of the better books I've read in a long time, It has very basic biblical truths about what being a woman of the word looks like in reference to marriage and the role of a woman in her home.
I love how simple and straightforward Nancy writes, there's no empty words and fluffiness is that a word to it just plain and simple this is what the Bible says and here's how we must live in obedience to it.
I went underlining crazy I nearly underlined the whole book it was so good! I want to reread it and reread it and reread it again! and give all my friends copies!!! Challenging and encouraging! Loved this! Every wife or woman who desires to be married should read this book.
Excellent practical help, encouraging, and convicting, Topbooks for women, hands down, I consider this book the spiritual fine tuning I didnt think I needed, Should probably read it every year, There's enough convicting points in this book to last any wife a lifetime, and yet it's a short read.
Wilson isn't flowery in her writing, She simply presents the case, backs it up with Scripture, and says "go and do likewise, " I will be using this book in counseling other women, and as a regular refresher for my own life and marriage.
Wilson covers many aspects of marriage that most writers are afraid to broach because of the hostile, feminist culture in which we live: respecting your husband, being a "keeper at home", cultivating a quiet spirit, etc.
It's a great read, but only if you're looking to change

yourself, not your husband, Four, only because the writing is a bit choppy, Content wise, I give it five, This is a difficult book to readvery convicting, I agreed with it all, This is one I should probably read yearly and I wish I had read it years ago.
It explains a wifes submission so beautifully but the book touches on many other areas of Christian womanhood.
No fluff here, just straightforward truth, Why on earth am I reading Nancy Wilson I'm not the target audience, The explanation is simple: we're putting out a slightly revised version of the Family Series very soon, and I proofed the new edition for errors.
So here I am, a fish out of water, and as such if some woman comes up to me and says, "You know, you may like this book, but you didn't understand.
. . " I'll be open minded.

That said, I was encouraged by this little book, A lot of wisdom here, as with Doug's books, and I do need to say, as an insider, that the family is very consistent with what they preach.
Nancy knows women temptations to grumble, gossip, and ruminate quite well, A lot of it wasn't my business, really, but the stuff on not introspecting atpm was indeed helpful and could have helped me years ago.
Anyway, I highly recommend this book, This wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be, I liked what the author had to say about submission and respecting your husband, I didn't agree with the idea that a wife cannot have any ministry or employment that is distinct from her husband, but the author presented her case and gave backup for it, so it was thoughtprovoking none the less.


A few off the cuff remarks made me wince, . . like fears are simply sin because of not trusting God enough, To me, that falls into the same category as saying that if you're sick, it's because there is sin in your life.
Rubbish!

There was more that I shook my head at, and if I were to rate this book solely on the basis of what I agreed with, I would have rated it lower.
I rated it as I did because it made me think, which is more than I can say for a lot of the books out there! This would be one of those books that you could reread with some frequency and learn something each time.
I wish I had have read it several years ago, but I am grateful to have read it now and not continued to have it in my “to be read” stack.


There is a lot of wisdom, a lot of conviction, and a lot of encouragement here.
Especially greatful for the chapter on Principles vs Methods and the practical advice when it comes to respect.
