Product Description
From the Author
"The Excellent Wife" is biblical, practical, and convicting.
God has done a marvelous work of grace in my life by changing me from a rebellious, sinfully aggressive, feminist woman to a woman whose great joy is serving her Lord on His terms. The process of change began when I became a Christian in the early 1980's at age 31. Since then, I have studied the Scriptures, taught many verse-by-verse book studies and received biblical counseling training. Because of my eight years experience as a counselor to women at the Atlanta Biblical Counseling Center, I was able to anticipate and answer many of the questions and concerns of Christians wives. Because I could not find a book to recommend to women that contained a thorough enough and truly biblical view of godly submission of the wife to her husband, I wrote "The Excellent Wife" book. This book is practical and thoroughly biblical. God has used it to convict many women of their sin, to draw others close to him, and even to save some marriages. There are many unique features of "The Excellent Wife" one of which is the chapter on "Resources to Protect a Woman Whose Husband is Sinning." Another is the chapter on oneness. There are chapters on what the wife should do if she is lonely, angry, fearful, or in a difficult marriage. Many women are teaching and studying "The Excellent Wife" using the "Study Guide" that is now available in the student's version and teacher's versions (with the answers). The book contains twenty-one chapters and the study guide twenty-four lessons. Therefore, a class could meet for twenty-four weeks or by doubling up, for twelve weeks. If you have any questions, please E Mail me at sampeace@randomc.com.

Format:Paperback
My Biblical Counselor at church recommended I read this book and it has made a difference in my life. It truly shows how to be an "Excellent Wife". When I was done studying it, I purchased a copy to keep to use. It is very down to earth and easy to read. This is a book that every woman should read and refer to. It has a good Biblical basis for handling all of life's situations from the good to the bad and has come in useful on more than one occasion. It is something that I will pass onto my daughters as they grow older.

I am a wife of only 8 years.I have read several books and heard many sermons on this subject but I must say that this book is one that I read with great eagerness.It is very well written in short sections. This means that if you are a busy, tired mum like me, you can pick it up read a section or two and not lose the flow before your eyes get heavy and sleep overtakes you.It is very helpful in practical areas I personally struggled with.Even helping you with thought patterns as well as outward details.The bible tells us in Romans 12 we are to be transformed by the 'renewing of our minds',this book will certainly help you to make a start.I really recommend every wife of whatever number of years to read this book. Your husband will thank you and your Lord will bless you.

Hi there,
I have read a lot of books for wives by popular Christian authors. This book is the best by far because it lovingly instructs us how to love our husbands, be carers for our families and home, and most importantly how to obey God's specific commands for us as written in the Scriptures.
Many believing women (and some men) think that the Bible is no longer an instruction book on how to obey God (many may not even see the Bible as God's word if they take this view -- I don't know). This book appeals to the converted spirit, not our flesh. Our sinful nature, even after conversion, doesn't always fancy being told that our thinking patterns are sinful or in need of adjustment. But this is exactly what we need if we want to understand what God's will is for our lives.
I can understand why many modern-thinking people do not like this book. We live in an age where most pastors don't want to preach about sin and the Grace of God, which can only be taught when you talk about sin. The Cross is generally offensive -- even to those who "believe in Jesus". We must recall that Christ died for our sins, not to make us feel good about ourselves or comfortable in our sin. We must also remember that knowledge of our sins and repentance pleases God. It is also because of His Forgiveness found in Christ that we can truly understand the Love of God. Anyone loves the good qualities in us. God loves us because of His love for Christ, for His Glory, not our own.
Martha Peace brings the Gospel out in its full glory in this book. I would even give this to an unbelieving friend. In fact, one of my unbelieving friends (that is, one who doesn't understand or believe the Gospel as yet) believes some of the principles in this book -- women's place of supporting her husband, being a carer for the home, and that she makes many un-loving mistakes with her family. It's a sad day when an unbeliever thinks something biblical is right and some christians think it's wrong.
If you are of the Nouthetic school, this book is utterly and completely Nouthetic and I can now see why Jay E. Adams recommends it.
I thank the Lord for this sister.
Thanks for reading.
* I don't mean to offend people with any comments. I have many beloved friends that are Christian that might not like this book. My respect for them is unchanged regarding our differences.
