I was absolutely tickled when one of my favorite bloggers asked me to write the endorsement for her new book, More Than Rules. I’ve been encouraged by Bambi’s blog, In The Nursery of The Nation, for years and it was an honor to give her masterpiece a hearty applause.
More Than Rules is, hands down, the best work I have ever read on modesty. It delivers a timely and convicting message with humility and humor. Though generally a divisive topic among Christian women, Bambi breaks through barriers of legalism and antinomianism and presents a biblical doctrine with grace and kindness that will ultimately lead others to contentment with who they are in Christ.
It’s an affirming and encouraging read for those who sometimes feel like living in the modesty trench is a losing battle, and for anyone just curious about what it means to be modest, consider More Than Rulesyour ticket to a whole new wardrobe!
