While researching biblical counseling, I came across a blog site by Christa Blakey called Blakeyblog which I recommend as definitely worth checking out.
Of particular interest to me was the book review section, where Christa reviews Captivating (it didn’t fare too well, but her analysis is thoughtful) and Beautiful (which fared much better). Though I haven’t read the blog, it appears to appeal well to women, mothers, and women’s ministry. Here is a post relating to The Excellent Wife which might prove encouraging to you.
