Verses of Virtue The Poetry and Prose of Christian Womanhood

From the beginning, poetry and the beauty of language have always been a part of God's revealed program for instilling perspective and purpose in the minds and hearts of women. In fact, the words of love communicated of woman by man were poetic words of appreciation and understanding. Drawing upon the beauty of parallelism in expression, Adam declared of Eve: "This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh." And so it goes throughout all the Scriptures. From the Psalms of David, to Solomon, and even the divinely inspired prose of John foretelling the return of the bridegroom, our Lord uses the beauty of language to motivate and to inspire. These are God's verses of virtue, and they served as the inspiration for untold hundreds of books and poems dedicated to a Christian vision for motherhood and home which once defined the landscape of American family life. In Verses of Virtue, Beall Phillips seeks to revive this vision, drawing from some of the most heart-warming and inspirational verses from Scripture, America's illustrious past, and even antiquity to provide women with a volume brimming with encouragement.Phillips, Elizabeth B. is the author of 'Verses of Virtue The Poetry and Prose of Christian Womanhood', published 2003 under ISBN 9781929241606 and ISBN 1929241607.
