James L. reviewed Scriptural Guilt trip on 3/2/2009

Helpful Score: 4

As a Christian woman I am conscious of trying to be a Godly wife and mother. I also believe that God puts in each of us, including women, an ambition for the purpose of creating desire and leading us to God's purpose in life, and yes, outside of our husbands. Many denominations use old testament scripture to guilt trip women into only "serving" their husbands and telling them all other desires are evil. In many cases I have seen this lead to a husband's very subtle psychological abuse of his wife and the wife allows this because she has been taught a twisted version of Scripture. This book is by FAR and away the worst offender of this dynamic I have ever read. I hope that no women reads this book and gets "scripture bullied" into submission for the wrong reasons or swallows their God given talents or ambitions out of fear. I would give this book a rating of "BOOOOO" if it were available.
