Editorial Reviews:

Have you struggled to reconcile God's vision of virtuous womanhood with worldly myths that marginalize and mock the role of the homemaker? Do you wrestle with cultural messages that demean the homemaker s calling and exalt instead the emotionally androgynous power-woman---the wife whose worth is measured only by the degree of her self-ambition, the shape of her body, or her money-making skills?

Delightfully fresh and honest, Passionate Housewives Desperate for God debunks the modern 'desperate housewife' myth and provides fresh vision for the homemaker. Hear a former Christian feminist share how she went from a die-hard homemaker-in-training to a dedicated career woman, and then back again---after God gripped her heart. See the hollow counterfeit of whitewashed feminism and me-ology destroyed. And consider the beautiful picture painted in Scripture of the truly fulfilled homemaker who glories in the hopeful calling God created for her.

Pull up a chair, dust off the cookie crumbs, and join Jennie Chancey and Stacy McDonald as they they lay aside demeaning stereotypes like the 'Stepford wife,' and reveal the 1950s' 'perfect homemaker' trap. Laughter and tears will flow, and hopefully you will be infused with a renewed vision for victory as a wife and mother. Discover what it means to be a passionate housewife 'desperate' for God alone!

Summary: about time!
Comment: About time someone stood up for the role of motherhood in America. So many women are taught they can "have it all" by having a career and kids. Look at our country- we are losing it all. The hearts need to be turned back to our children. This book identifies some common problems and helps you to see them for what they are!

Summary: Liked the ending...
Comment: It was sort of a disappointment in that the first part of the book was things and positions that I'm already aware of. I enjoyed the book, but coming from what would be considered and uber-conservative background it was sort of ho hum. I guess I wasn't expecting it to be about feminism. I really enjoyed their personal experiences, and identified very well with some of the attitudes that were presented in the book. Perhaps I was looking more for hints and tips to have the quiet time with God rather than abandon it. I still think that it is a necessary thing in my walk with God to have times alone with Him. And time alone with God may sometimes be the sanity check that some mothers (like me) need. If I didn't get some I'd go insane. The fact of the matter is, that even though I don't always get some every day, I keep aiming for it. It is a good book and I do recommend it. However I don't think I personally would have bought it had I known more of the content of the book.

Summary: decent writing, some good ideas
Comment: I found this book to be surprisingly well-written, though not persuasively written. There were a lot of nice, pracitical bits of encouragement in here for stay-at-home mothers and wives (such as not beating yourself up if your "quiet time" is hardly quiet and involves feeding the baby, as well). However, the theology comes from a very literal standpoint on Scripture (which I do not hold with), is decidedly anti-feminist, and will certainly not be everyone's cup of tea. If you are a mother of young children and are either interested in this movement within the Church or feel up to separating the wheat from the chaff, give it a go. Personally, I feel that this approach to being a wife and mother is a narrow one and certainly not mandated by God, but I respect that there are women out there who feel differently, and this is a great resource for those women. A word to the wise, the authors do display some radical leaps in logic (for example, that in order to be a sacrificial wife and mother you must never do anything for yourself and that doing so is linked either to sin or an under-developed Christian character; that all mothers who work sacrifice their children to the will of "the state," which they portray as being nearly Communistic; and so forth), so proceed with caution.
