Blogs I Read: Girls Gone Wise
One of my favorite blogs is written by Mary Kassian, who is a professor of Women’s Studies at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. She is about to publish a new book, Girls Gone Wise… In a World Gone Wild, which she says “revolves around the story of the typical Girl-Gone-Wild as recorded for us in the Bible, in Proverbs chapter seven.”
For the past couple of months, Mary has been posting excerpts from the book that contrast the “girl gone wise” with the “girl gone wild.” I’ve really enjoyed them because they speak to issues of the heart, revealing character traits from the Proverbs chapter seven woman that can be present even in a girl who outwardly portrays herself as someone better. I’ve found her posts applicable to me as a young married woman, and I think a teenage girl, a single woman, or an older woman would also be benefited by them.
I look forward to reading the book after it’s released, hopefully. Here is an index of Mary’s posts on this topic. (Read with discretion – some are definitely not for younger readers.)
