Here is a scripturally based blueprint for the woman who really wants to be the wife God intended her to be. Built on Proverbs 31:10, An excellent wife, who can find? For her worth is far above jewels, Martha Peace uses the woman of Proverbs 31 as a model and gives detailed, practical answers to the questions Christian wives ask most often. Drawing on years of biblical counseling, she addresses a wife's submission and respect, her speech, her attitudes, her responses to a difficult husband, her fears, and her hope in Christ, always insisting that the standard is high and holy and that by God's grace it is attainable. Thousands of women have already discovered the worth of this volume and testify to lives and marriages changed because of a commitment to the principles presented here. This expanded edition adds a forty eight page addendum answering further questions and providing additional counseling examples and applications. A companion study guide is available for personal or group use.
