Who Is Boasting About Your Marriage?

By NSEBOT IDOPISE IDO

The book "WHO IS BOASTING ABOUT YOUR MARRIAGE?" is birthed out of a burden. It is the burden of seeing so much unhappiness and disenchantment in an institution that has the potential for life-long enchantment. It is the burden of seeing and sometimes superintending "had I knowns" after the marriage has hit the rocks. It is a burden based on the fact that when a Christian marriage falls, the devil actually gloats and thus a desire not to give him that satisfaction. Most of all, it is a burden borne out of the need to answer the prayer "thy Kingdom come, thy will be done on earth..." and a knowledge of the fact that in marriage and the home, this prayer can be answered faster than we envisage. Marriage was made to be permanent. We can make it so.

THE AUTHOR

It is depressing indeed that both the ancient and modern society puts down the woman. For a widow who is faced with the stark reality of the loss of her husband, struggling to manage the sorrow and loneliness occasioned by her loss, the woman is further subjected to inhuman and degrading treatment that pokes at her personality. It is these acts of gender discrimination that Rev. Mrs. Ido seeks to address in her book "BREAKING OUT AND WALKING TALL".

She makes it known that this poor societal attitude is not in God’s plan for the woman. She herein tells the woman that she has a purpose. She is not a Plan B. She re-echoes the words of the master, go and sin no more thus:

"You have been offered a chance for a new beginning. You don’t have to be anybody’s chattel.

There is more to you than you are aware of.

Go and discover it.

Go and live it."

This book truly opens a new page for womanhood. It has blessed my life greatly which is why I didn’t keep it but promptly shared it with a friend after reading it. It has made me to break out and I am now walking tall.

The first time I came across Rev. (Mrs.) Ido’s book "BREAKING OUT AND WALKING TALL", it was so captivating that I finished the entire seven chapters at a sitting and could not agree more with her thoughts on womanhood.

Interactions with her reveal that she does not only seek to help women discover themselves and be the best they can be; she also ‘walks the talk’.

Many human-abusers give lame excuses for marginalization, be it against children, women or humanity as a whole. Some blame it on cultural disposition, societal disvalue, religious beliefs, etc.

More so, it is disheartening when the Bible is used to back up this disdain.

In this book, "BREAKING OUT AND WALKING TALL", the author, Nsebot Idopise Ido explains beyond culture, society, and religion, the irreplaceable value and God-ordained place of women, using scriptural truths. This book awakens the women without neglecting the men. I strongly recommend this book to all.

The word that best describes the book "BREAKING OUT AND WALKING TALL for me is; UNPUTDOWNABLE".

I deeply appreciate the issues of mothering, leadership and womanhood raised in the book "BREAKING OUT AND WALKING TALL". It is frank, motivating and inspirational. I consider it a ‘must read’ for every woman, mother, daughter, in-law, grandchild and the husbands who marry and father those women.

"PUSH BACK YOUR FEARS" is a wonderful capsule of crystal exposition of the emptiness of fear. Mrs. Ido has poured her scientific mind into this book with clear and empirical description in a very conversational style, as a mentor.

"PUSH BACK YOUR FEARS" is a tour into the dark dungeon of fear with the author as the tour guide shining the light into the dark crevices and exposing the nakedness and emptiness of fear coming down to give credence to the fact that fear is actually False Expectations Appearing Real.

The real-life application in all spheres of life and human endeavors makes the Bible come alive and is very commendable.

If you are experiencing fear in any form at any point in your life, this book is highly recommended. You won’t be able to drop it, until you’re through. It’s a must read. I have been blessed by it.

The book "PUSH BACK YOUR FEARS" is very enlightening to every Christian looking to grow their faith. In a world of uncertainties, an age filled with almost the worst surprises, fear tends to creep into the heart. I therefore recommend the reading of this book to everyone and especially the Christian for growth and stability.
