Somewhere over the passing years and changing
culture, women have lost their way. This book is written to lead
them back home. Regardless of how you began your marriage or how
dark and lonely the path that has brought you to where you are
now, I want you to know that it is possible today to have a
marriage so good and so fulfilling that it can only be explained
as a miracle.
It took four years, thousands of
hours, many tears, revisions and distractions, but I finally
finished my book. I had no idea God had so much to say to us
ladies until I began going through God's Word verse by verse,
writing the different sections of Created to be His Help Meet.
Many times as I read a passage, I would say to my husband,
"I'm not going to include those verses in my book because if I
do the ladies (of any religious group you can think of
including my own) will not like my book or promote it." My
dear husband would say to me, "If God thought it was important
enough to inspire it as part of his Word to us, then you
should include it." And so I would cringe and add one more
controversial subject after another.
So in obedience with Titus 2, where God commands the aged
women to teach the younger women, I have obeyed and given you
the very best I can do--27 chapters, 304 pages, including
letters from my readers, recounting counseling sessions,
wisdom gleaned from my daughters, my own very personal
stories, and, of course, the Word of God. It includes subjects
as varied as planning meals to answering extremely intimate
questions. -Debi Pearl
