Many women in our churches face the particular challenge of walking with Christ alongside an unbelieving husband. Jeri Odell seeks to encourage women in this situation, drawing on her own experiences and those of her friends.
The subjects she covers include growing as a Christian, being a godly example to your children, avoiding temptation, and handling the aching loneliness, and there is a particularly good chapter on praying for your husband. She raises a number of interesting issues such as the importance of a healthy thought life, the problems of self-righteousness, and the jealousy felt when someone else’s husband is converted.
