I stumbled upon the title of this book & was intrigued. Written by John Rice & published almost 70 years ago, it’s not a book to be easily found, in India at least. I asked my dear friend in the US to get me a copy when she came to India. She faithfully did. Also with utmost sincerity & alarm in her eyes she wanted to check if all was ok. With me. Reading books such as these. Extremist she thought. She wondered if I had tipped the balance & gone on to become a fundamentalist Christian. I laughed. And I laughed. And I laughed some more. She was relieved. I reassured her this was just curiosity to read something I came across. Relief spread all over her face.
This book is written by a pure old time, fire & brimstone preacher. He advocates that we follow the scriptures that show a woman her place. He uses scriptures in defence of the same to richly admonish women who wear their hair short, are bossy halves to their husbands & preach. Rotten sinners, we.
I must confess that having been saved by Grace, I found the book to be way too strict, almost legalistic & suffocating.
I gave up reading mid-way through…

Did you find this addressing all women, Christian women, or women who try to rule over Christian men?
This book is addressed to Christians so in that sense it is aimed at the conduct of Christian women.
The title alone is just amazing! lol

The Morcha guys in Bombay might appreciate a copy 🙂
