Created to be his Help Meet by Debi Pearl
My parents are going through a divorce and an old friend sent me this book. They use the To Train. . . and I know I don't agree with that, so I am wondering if any of you have read Debi Pearl's book and can offer any insight- like whether or not it's edifying or if there's anything to be aware of in it. Thanks!

Baaaaaaaaad... Theologically bad. This is the book that it seems even Pearl supporters will admit has serious problems.
Here's some good posts about it. http://www.gentlechristianmothers.co...?topic=47802.0 http://www.gentlechristianmothers.co...?topic=55767.0 http://www.gentlechristianmothers.co...?topic=62370.0 Other resources: http://www.tulipgirl.com/mt/archives/000643.html - written by our own Tulipmama http://spunkyhomeschool.blogspot.com...et-part-1.html - written by someone who likes some of the Pearl's other works. If you search, you can definitely find more

Re: Created to be his Help Meet by Debi Pearl
Just say no.... to that book.... it places all blame on the woman if the marriage is not going well and women are expected to be sitting at their master's (husband) feet in humble adoration of anything the husband might want or need, even if it hurts the woman or their children
