BOOKHABIT COMPETITION - "FOR ALL APPEARANCES"

"For All Appearances", by Deborah Davidson http://www.bookhabit.com/competition/book_details.php?book_id=562

Deborah Davidson is currently competing in the latest Bookhabit Competition now under way, with her book entitled "For All Appearances". This story is a highly inspirational work, mainly dedicated to Christian women who are required to live under the expectations of the church. However, according to Ms. Davidson, this book is also written for women in general, wives and mothers as well as husbands and people of the church. This is a true story; an autobiography of her life. She has written about her past, somewhat briefly, in order to bring the reader up to the point where she needed to make a choice as a Christian wife and mother.

"Just exactly how far is a Christian woman supposed to go?" This question, which is listed under the title of her book, arises from twenty four years of marriage to a Christian man. She had always put her husband and children first. Should she continue to put herself at risk in order to meet the expectations of her husband, the church and to provide a "stable" environment for her children?

"The primary focus of this book" said Ms. Davidson, "is the in-depth Christian counseling I received in order to make a very important decision. This counseling was vital to me in order to gain the strength that I needed to get through adversities and countless pressures, not only from my husband and some of my family, but also from members of the church. The counseling is real; dates and times are accurate. It includes day to day struggles and how to cope with not only mind games and various other negative demands, but also promotes complete emotional well being. Readers will be able to walk with me each step of the way as I struggled to do what needed to be done."
