Summary: Could have been better
Comment: I am a fan of Nancy Wilson and her husband Doug. I've read _Reforming Marriage_ and _The Fruit of Her Hands_ and was challenged by both of them. They were filled with Scriptural principles and biblical models for the roles of men and women in marriage.
My issue with this particular book is that it is filled with "shoulds". You should do this... you shouldn't allow your children to do this... a loving parent will do this... parents who allow their children to throw temper tantrums in the grocery store hate their children. My problem with extrabiblical "shoulds" is that it leads to a form of legalism. Now, Mrs. Wilson is NOT suggesting that you "should" do all these "shoulds" to attain righteousness. However, there is a sense that if you don't do these things, you are a bad parent and not living out God's design for the family.
I don't agree with the first reviewer that, by following Mrs. Wilson's suggestions that you become a slave to your husband. Not at all! I just see that, with all these rules for being a good parent, there is no room for making mistakes. If you don't do this, your kids are going to turn out crappy. Sheesh! I get exhausted just reading it let alone thinking about how I'm going to implement all this stuff.
I believe the suggestions are good ones, thus the three star review. I agree with just about all of them. However, there is more than one way to go. Heaping a bunch of law on my head doesn't help.

Summary: Not Much Help in the Mothering Dept.
Comment: I bought this book with the hope of being challenged and encouraged through Biblical teaching about motherhood and homemaking. Although
there is some Scripturally-based teaching, most of this book is
the author's very strong personal opinions about taking care of
children and the home. If you want to be laden with rules of how to be a slave to your husband and children, then this is the book for you! Otherwise, remember that Jesus said "Come to me
all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest..."
Ask the Holy Spirit to impress upon your heart the areas where you need to change and become more Christ-like and be confident that He will help you be all you need to be.

Summary: Life altering material
Comment: This book Praise Her in the Gates was phenominal. It brought me back to the basics of my calling as a Christian mother. It talked about things I already knew in a way that made them seem fresh. It also taught me elements of being a wife and making a home that I had never even considered. This book is excellent as well as an easy read. I am not a reader and I finished it in about 3 hours. I highly recommend it.
