I read again the first chapter of the book “Woman to Woman” by E. Price called “The Difference It Makes When a Woman’s Personality Is Christ-controlled.”

I remember picking it up for almost nothing in a second-hand shop in Orewa in 1979 on our way from Whangaparaoa to Kaikohe.

Many, many sentences in the first chapter of the book are underlined, not with a pencil, but with a ballpoint pen.

Here are two quotes:

“Whatever the personality type, the basic fact remains: Women hold within their natures a potentially dangerous power to mark lives. All women. Married and single. Thin and fat. Tall and short. Educated and uneducated. Weak and strong. Shrinking violets and domineering frigates in full sail.”- page seven

“And we are being unrealistic and hiding behind the long touted and utterly false “weak little woman” theory when we refuse to admit that sin entered the world through a women; when we refuse to admit that it invaded the human race through a woman’s influence.” –  page six
