Reviews

[Natalie Weber · Rating 4 out of 5]

Mrs. Rogers, wife of the famous Roy Rogers and mother of 9 children, shares candidly with women of her day on topics ranging from marriage to children to prayer. Each chapter is short and the book is an easy-read, but Mrs. Rogers does not mince words as she exposes many of the wrong philosophies permeating the culture of the 1960’s. I appreciated her statement at the beginning of the book that “Christ, not I, has the answers. He is the answer to every human need.” She continues to reiterate this point throughout the book and it is obvious that she is committed to growing in her relationship with Jesus Christ in her own life.

A great book about the issues that women and girls face, such as marriage, motherhood, makeup, clothing, modesty, friendships, housework, gossip, etc!
Rating: 2.5 stars
Recommend: for everyone
Warning: the author falsely says that interracial marriage is unbiblical and that there’s no difference between religions

A really fun, sweet, insightful read. Lots of quotes and poems from other people which I enjoyed and constant scriptural references!! She talks on many topics and helps you to see things through a Christian perspective. I also really enjoyed hearing snippets of her story as she talked. It truly felt like a conversation with a kind older lady, with lots of life experience.

It’s written in the 60s, so
1) it was intresting to see what mattered then, and what was going on (civil rights, prayer no required in school), and interesting to see how things played out from there in today
2) but some of the of what she said was definitely outdated and I didn’t necessarily agree with it (I.e her on interracial marriages, church religions, etc)
But I found it most of it fascinating and took it as a peek into the past.

I highly recommend!! Dale Rogers has such a fun narrating voice!!

For a free find in a cute little book bin in a random small town, I’d say in pretty happy ;)

I was not expecting such a gem when I picked up this little book that I’ve had on my shelf for so long that I can’t even recall where I got it from.
Dale very bluntly discusses key aspects of a life served following the Lord and putting him first. This is definitely a book I will (or should!) read again.
There are some outdated terms used, which may cause offense in today’s culture, but were not meant to be offensive in the original text. My advice, just ignore the few minor things that are outdated because 95% of this book is solid gold.
