This book has been life changing for me. It is eye opening to see how many lies we have bought into simply because society put them out there for us to ponder. What we "feed" our minds is a very dangerous thing. When we let society be the driving force behind our decisions and thoughts we can venture into dangerous territory.
Just think about how many rules, laws, thought and agendas have changed in the years that you have been alive. So, why would we allow something that is constantly changeing to be the driving force behind our values and beliefs for ourselves and our families? I believe in the solid and unchangeable word of God as truth.
This book uses the word of God, the Bible, to show truths that contradict what society has taught us. We as women are especially vulnerable to believing lies I believe simply because of our passionate hearts! How often has a loved one been late to get home or call you? Where does your mind tend to go if you haven't heard from them? Car accident? Death? Jail? Trouble? WHY???? Our minds take us into some scary territory based on little truth and a whole lot of emotion!
I would encourage any Bible believing woman to read, study and ponder the truths of this book! And I would even encourage someone who may not believe in the Bible to read this book. at the very least it may get you to think about why you believe what you do and see areas that you may be believing a lie simply because you heard or saw it somewhere and you never challenged the thought.
If you have already read this book, tell me what you thought. I love to hear others' opinions on great books!
Side note - the teenage version "Lies Young Women Believe" is also amazing!
