Waddle In Beauty, Really….

I found this gem on Doug Phillip’s blog today. In fairness, he’s reprinted a pastoral letter written by someone else, but still, the whole thing felt condescending.

Quiverfull Scriptures

I recieved this question on a previous post regarding being Quiverfull. I read your article about NFP verses QF. I would like to know specifically what you feel the verses used to support QF are lacking. You mentioned that they are not pursuasive, in what way?

This Would Be Funny…

if it wasn’t so distubring.  The follow is an excerpt from Raising Maidens of Virtue: “Do you remember last week when you and your sister Jennifer were arguing?  She had pointed out your unmade bed and lack of diligence in keeping things as neat as you probably should.  When your feelings were hurt by her [...]

The Law of Dinah

I’ve read So Much More and I am currently reading Raising Maidens of Virtue.  Both books use the tragic story of Dinah to illustrate what happens when daughters travel outside the authority of their fathers.  Dinah was the only daughter of the biblical Patriarch, Jacob.  The very large tribe of Israel had settled at the [...]
