Created To Be His Help Meet by Debi Pearl


Listen Later

Probably the most impactful and challenging book we’ve read besides the Bible, CREATED TO BE HIS HELP MEET by Debi Pearl takes us back to God’s Word for a closer look on women’s role. To say this book is countercultural is stating the obvious. Society tells us (Happy wife, happy life)  women are above men and deserve to be served, however that robs us of our true God-given role. “A good help meet has a passion to be of service.”  1 Cor. 11:8-9 tells us why women were created, something that many in our culture omit. 

“NO man has ever crawled out from under his wife’s criticism to be a better man. God stands with you when you stand by your man, but you stand alone if you stand by your rights.” 

We have 40,000 thoughts a day, if we are to have a thankful spirit we need to practice being thankful. Phil. 4:8 tells us what we should think on, Pro.23:7 says as a man thinks in his heart so is he…bottom line: thoughts are powerful! 

Debi Pearl describes in detail the three kinds of men: Mr. Command, Mr. Visionary, and Mr. Steady. The Key is to know your man. Ask God for wisdom and patience, James 1:5. Wisdom is mentioned in the Bible 223 times! If you’re like me, you might’ve been avoiding praying for patience. It often gets swept under the rug along with self-control, while I focus on the love, joy, and peace part of the fruit of the spirit. However, it is not a buffet, I must work on them all, including the Mt. Everest one for me… patience.

This book has been a life changer for both of us, so I guess, in my case, old dogs can learn new tricks, bahaha! Won’t you learn along with us as we dive into discussing God’s role for women eons before Helen Reddy belted out, “I Am Woman Hear Me Roar”.  Roaring is not a fulfilling way to live this earthly walk at all. Change is hard. Are you up for the challenge?
