Praise Jesus Brothers!
Christmas will be here before you know it and if you are like me, we often find ourselves at the dimestore on Christmas Eve looking for the perfect gift for our wives in expression of our love. Not this year; I'm just getting too old for that last-minute stress and have already purchased Mrs. Porters gift.
Christmas is a special day for Christians as we celebrate the birth of our Savior. In the Porter home, we understand this and limit ourselves to just one gift to each other that reflects our value and status in the household. I've left Rolex brochures on the coffee table for weeks now as a hint of what I expect to awake to. The Holy Bible is very clear on why the man is superior to the woman, and therefore worthy of substantially more recognition.

"But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.
" 1 Corinthians 11:3 - KJV

Muriel does quite well in her role as a submissive and subordinate wife, but there is always room for improvement. I decided that her gift should have practical value in helping her become an even better Christian wife.
Although written by a woman, "The Excellent Wife; A Biblical Perspective" appears to be solid and Godly instruction. I found it
here for just $5.26, brand new. The reviews are great.

THE EXCELLENT WIFE is the most wonderful book I have ever read on the christian woman's place in life! Martha is a genuine writer, sharing things that most would not go near. She does not fill ones head with the mumbo-jumbo of 'take care of yourself first' psychology~ rather she admonishes and eqips all women how to overcome the sin of not submitting. She confronts sinful behavior in the marriage and the church for what it is- sin. She uses the only authority for dealing with sinful behavior, the Bible. She then offers hope and encouragement with practical suggestions and heart-examining techniques to assist one in their growth in Christ. Martha has done a wonderful job in this accompanying study guide- I don't suggest anyone read the book without reading and working through this also! It reiterates what she has discussed and assists one in examining their own life to be more of what God would have them to be. Praise God for Martha's uncompromised writings on the role for women that God originated and the world seeks to deteriorate! Praise God!
