Grace J’s Reviews > Captivating: Unveiling the Mystery of a Woman's Soul > Status Update

Guys I can quit therapy because reading their book and using their journal “is like getting two years of counseling for about thirteen dollars. What a deal!” And, “If you pray the Daily Prayer included in this book, “It will rescue you.” And "This way of life John and I have laid out here has utterly transformed the lives of thousands of women."

Arghh I cannot escape the cult of domesticity, the angel in the home haunts me, somehow Christians keep coming back to telling girls that their feminine behavior will make men better and it is their job to lift men up and make them better men.

So the best version of a woman is an "arousing woman" who "calls forth the best in a man". She is defined by her relationship to men.

Once again we are telling women that they are responsible for men's behaviors. Women are supposed to "inspire" men so thar they want to do what is right and best.

And there it is. Once again poor theology leads to implicitly or explicitly encouraging women to stay in abusive relationships in the hopes that their femininity will cause the man to change.

So very uncomfortable with using secular love song lyrics and pretending they are God singing to women (or vice versa)

"The woman who wept over Jesus's feet and dried them with her hair proved that women can worship Jesus in ways that men can't."

Meanwhile Jesus is literally comparing the woman to Simon to make Simon feel ashamed for not treating Jesus like this.

Wheeeee Jesus calls himself our Bridegroom, so it is a healthy and Biblical exercise for women to imagine they are Arwen standing on the moonlit bridge and Aragorn is Jesus.

Golly it's so annoying to be told over and over "Women feel this way. You know it's true." Or "We all know this about women."

Please stop quoting verses about Israel and pretending that the "she" refers to all women
