I read The Red Tent while pregnant with my 3rd child and even used Asher in his name led to it by the book and my faith as I was looking for a biblical name to go with a non. Our family uses biblical or family names somewhere in each name.

Another blogger I like, Rachel Held Evans, attempted to live for a year following the Bible literally regarding all the different ways women are supposed to behave. Her book is called A Year of Biblical Womanhood. It sounds kind of similar! I'll definitely check your rec out. <br /><br />JenniferJenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03452384251264353379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904256286279591900.post-64880507597022161532012-07-03T22:05:52.130-04:002012-07-03T22:05:52.130-04:00Awesome!
