Who is Martha Peace?

A commenter recently asked the question, "Who is Martha Peace?" after seeing a couple of books Hannah and I are reading by this author listed on our sidebar.

I originally became acquainted with Martha Peace years ago when I first read one of her well-known books, The Excellent Wife: A Biblical Perspective. You can find some readers' reviews of The Excellent Wife on the Amazon site here by scrolling down the page.

The book I am reading now, Becoming a Titus 2 Woman, is very applicable at this stage in my life seeing as I have two single adult daughters and a new daughter-in-law I can practice on. :) Here's a quick blurb from the book:

"God intends the older woman to teach and encourage the younger woman. The process should be as natural as slipping your hand into a glove that fits perfectly. If both will do what is right--the older one reaching out in love to the younger and the younger one responding in humility with a teachable heart--God will be glorified, the older woman will overcome her fear, and the younger woman will grow in grace by leaps and bounds.

Instead of complaining about or being afraid of the younger women, the older Christian women should pray for them, involve themselves in their lives, and teach and encourage the younger women. The rest of this chapter and book explains how."

The Martha Peace book Hannah is reading now is called, Attitudes of a Transformed Heart. Hopefully she will write her own review once she's finished reading.

Here's Martha's website where you can read more about her life, books, and speaking schedule.

I very much enjoyed The Excellent Wife. I think it was my (married) daughter who introduced me to her books.
