Housewife Theologian: How the Gospel Interrupts the Ordinary
"This is a fine book, written with gusto and infectious enthusiasm by a lady who glories in the counter cultural role of being a housewife and yet moves beyond that to delight in the character of God himself, the salvation he has wrought, and the lives he calls his people to live. Frankly, if I had a feminine side, I suspect this book would have put me in touch with it. Thankfully, I don't—but the Housewife Theologian almost makes me wish I did."—Carl R. Trueman, Paul Woolley Professor of Church History, Westminster Theological Seminary, Pa."Aimee Byrd has created a resource that will benefit women tremendously. This book is the result of Aimee's passion to think about whatever is true, honorable, just, pure, lovely, commendable, excellent, and praiseworthy. Dive into this theology primer for housewives in the context of community. The intentional journaling questions at the end of each chapter will certainly facilitate some fantastic discussions in your small groups."—Gloria Furman, Author ofGlimpses of Grace: Treasuring the Gospel in Your Home"When we think of a 'housewife' words like doormat, archaic, and cleaning may come to mind; but what about theologian? InHousewife Theologian, Aimee Byrd turns the word on its head, bringing it back to life and reminding us of the unique opportunity to leverage learning as we serve our families.
