Is Debi Pearl to Blame?

Livinginblurredlines shares how the advice in Debi Pearl’s book, Created To Be His Help Meet negatively affected her marriage.  However she does not want to put the blame on Debi Pearl saying,

Blaming Debi Pearl’s “Created To Be His Helpmeet” book for what I am going through is like blaming a cookbook for your burned dinner.

I’m not so sure I agree with that. If the cookbook tells me to cook the dinner for 30 minutes at 350 and I cook the dinner for 3o minutes at 350 and it burns, I’m going to warn people that the cookbook has some bad information in it.  Sure, I should have kept an eye on the food and noticed if it started burning and saved my dinner.  But whether I saved my dinner or not, the cookbook has shown itself to contain unreliable information and people should be warned about it.

That said, she makes some  good points, especially that one should look to God first and foremost.  Amen.

    Greetings from Venezuela, south america:
    Your commentary:
    “If the cookbook tells me to cook the dinner for 30 minutes at 350 and I cook the dinner for 3o minutes at 350 and it burns, I’m going to warn people that the cookbook has some bad information in it. ”
    It`s right to point.
    I had a small ministry providing info. materials on false cultic and heretic teachings, by example false doctrines on family and marriage, promoted by certain USA and Mexico’s missionaries in latinamerica, that so confuse and misled christians, and create unnecesary barries with unconverted people to Gospel.
    I want to share with you some videos, from an evangelical ministry created to face false unbiblical teachings on submission from women:
