Having said that, there are a few caveats:
1. She keeps quoting Douglas Wilson, who I generally find extremely problematic. The bits she quoted weren't bad, but I would not want someone to read her and then move onto WIlson - who's outlook on women wavers between openly chauvinistic and patronizing.
2. At one point, she openly states that women were created to help men. Wrong. Women were created to glorify God and enjoy him forever.I suspect that this unqualified statement was just a poorly worded and thought out sentence that got missed in the editing process, but it really spoils one chapter.
3. The first 2 caveats are kind of nitpicky, but this last one is actually a pretty glaring hole. When talking about careers, McCulley doesn't seem to think that a woman's career might be an essential part of her calling. As a single woman, I believe that glorifying God in my career is an essentail part of my calling and my life as a Christian. While McCulley encourages women to work dilligently in their careers, she implies that a career is a secondary part of our lives. Just as married women should put their family first, single women should put serving their church, working in charities etc first. Now, there may be some truth to this, but just as men serve God through their vocation, so do women. I wish that MCulley recognized this. Should I be active in my church and hospitable to other Christians? Absolutely. But I also serve God daily in striving for excellence in my career and applying his Word to the daily choices I make.
