Why Spanking Is Not God’s Will

It Is Well (The Story of one Peaceful Housewife) shares how she became a gentle parent and how much help she has gotten from Steph’s series in Why Spanking Is Not God’s Will.

Steph is in the process of turning her series into a book and is now seeking a publisher. Her manuscript has been highly edited from the articles you can find on this site and is much better than the original articles (which can be considered a rough draft.)  Please let us know if you know of a publisher who would be interested.

Understanding Biblical Gender Equality

Hope Abigail Freeman wrote to me saying

…I have written a new book called “Understanding Biblical Gender Equality”, which is free to read online at the website http://www.WalkinTruth.net

It’s brand new, the site just launched recently, and it should be available in paperback soon also. If you take a look you can see, I’m trying to “take back” 3 John 1:4.

I was in a very spiritually abusive relationship, domestic violence situation for 6 years.  As soon as I became a Christian I fell into a hole of abusive patriarchy, and it took years of the Holy Spirit working with me to get out of that hole.  This book is a compilation of what I have learned from the Bible in that process.

The book takes a very conservative methodology of scriptural analysis, and has a heavy emphasis on helping women to recognize abuse, and that God loves them and wants better for them.
