Some Christian women despise the description found in Proverbs 31:10-31. If you’re not familiar with her, the Proverbs 31 woman works hard … and it seems like she does everything exceptionally well. In an age of comparison, it can be easy to feel inadequate when you read about a biblical superwoman. Yet Hilary Bernstein challenges readers to take a different approach in her eBook, “Becoming a Modern-Day Proverbs 31 Woman.” Instead of focusing on how you can never measure up to her example, Bernstein asks readers to look at the example in Proverbs 31 as an excellent biblical description of what women can do. Women can work hard and succeed. Women can be excellent wives and mothers. Women can act as the very strong and capable backbones of their families. Bernstein explores Proverbs 31 verse by verse in the eBook’s 15 chapters. Topics include work, marriage, children, finances, planning, homemaking, character, and Christian living. Each chapter includes a Things to Think About section, filled with questions women can contemplate and practically apply to everyday life. By the end of “Becoming a Modern-Day Proverbs 31 Woman,” readers can glean wisdom, inspiration and grace from the Proverbs 31 woman without feeling the weight of guilt or comparison.
