Summary: Temptations Women Face
Comment: After having Ashcroft as a professor of writing, I was excited to read this book. It is helpful and insightful. Ashcroft openly speaks to women about the struggles we face of which we are often not even aware. Some friends and I organized a women's group in which we discussed a chapter a week. We all found it to be eye-opening and helpful as we each worked through our various issues concerning love, money, sex, etc. from a Christian point of view. Recommended for Baby Boomer women (like Ashcroft) and GenXers (like me) alike.

Summary: Condescending Pap
Comment: Mary Ellen Ashcroft -- like me -- is an evangelical Chrisitan who also is a feminist of sorts. Here she supposedly "talks honestly" about issues that tempt women. But she does little moralize. Furthermore, the book is filled with cliches and stereotypes -- especially in her discussions of food and sex. Ashcroft suffers from something that plagues a lot of Chrisitan writers and scholars -- she thinks her audience, made up of other Chrisitans, is dumb. Better luck next time, Mary Ellen!
