Lies Women Believe: And the Truth that Sets Them Free

I do not agree with Nancy Leigh DeMoss on her views of birth control; however, I believe her wisdom and Biblical insight throughout the book have opened my eyes! God has blessed her with a wonderful ability to bring the scriptures to life in terms of practical application. I would highly recommend this book if you want to take an honest and open look at your walk with God!

A very good book, offering many helpful insights. This book would make a very good women's study group book for women of any age.

I am a young woman new to Christianity (less than three years as a Christian) so I purchased this book to get some insight on a religious woman's opinion of lies we believe.

This book is great in the fact that it has cited scripture to support what she is trying to convey to her readers. I find Christian books with scripture and biblical support easier to believe true than Christian books without it. So I begin with the good points. The book is broken down into three sections - the middle part being Lies Women Believe...(about marriage, etc). The best chapter in my opinion is "Lies Women Believe about God." I found this to be very helpful in the way she points out from the bible God's real love for us, and that we are never alone. It warmed my heart. The best part of the book includes the portions at the end of each chapter where you reflect on yourself in a worksheet page, which also includes a prayer while seeking the path of the Truth.

I come now to parts of this book I did not like, and much of her "lies we believe" I did not agree with. In one chapter about "Lies Women Believe About Children", she makes it sound as thought women in today's society are meant to be mindless baby machines meant only to serve their husband and trusting he always knows what's right. She makes it appear that a woman choosing to pursue a carreer and/or making the choice not to have kids is satanic and not God's purpose for us. She says that Satan wants to end all life; that he hates it. I agree with that but there are approximately 6 billion people on this earth (overcrowded as it is), and I don't believe that a few married couples (hundred, thousand or whatever) making the choice not to have children is going to make much difference.

To read this book, one must have an extremely open mind to the author's views on lies we believe as women. I am very open-minded, but there were some points she made as I stated above that I highly disagreed with.

Overall, I give it three stars since it had some good spots, but parts of this book were (ironically) very biased against women.

This book is so liberating. Every Christian woman should have a copy of it. It is truly a book that enlightens you on what you "believe", how you "live" and who you are. The things we think but are not honest enough to speak.

I had the opportunity to order 7 books after I had gone to a retreat and the book was used and it really held my interest and the women that I shared the book with were very thankful.

Thank you for getting the books out fast.
