Despite the opinion of today's woman, who believes that being a wife is so simple she must have something real to do with her life, it is not that easy. Too often culture has a way of sneaking into our thinking, and whereas the Scriptures suit all cultures, not all cultures suit the Scriptures. Dene Ward has taken ten metaphors the Bible uses to describe a wife, and, as she always does, shown how those can be used in a practical way to make ourselves into the ideal helper God intended from the beginning. This book can be used as a gift for a new bride, an individual study guide for any wife, or a women's class book with the thought questions included at the end of each essay.
