More Than Rules: Exploring the Heart of Beauty & Modesty

I’d love to help you simplify your meal planning. Check out my new menu planning course here.

There is no question that we live in an unmodest culture today.  Just take simple errands like grocery shopping, going to the mall or standing in line at any checkout to deal with the magazine covers.  I was thankful when my friend Bambi at In The Nursery of the Nation took on writing an eBook on the subject of modesty.  She is a woman I have gleaned much from over the years and the Lord continues to use her in opening my eyes to areas that I need to surrender to Him.

More Than Rules will challenge you inwardly and takes the issue of modesty back where it all begins….in our hearts.  Whatever season of life you are in this book will encourage, teach and bless you in the area of modesty. Moms, it is a great resource to read along with your daughters.

You can purchase your copy of More Than Rules here.

Visit here to read the introduction and below is a list of the chapters:

1.) In Which I Go to the Salon For Some Detailing
2.) Why We Are Preoccupied with Physical Beauty
3.) Motivations of the Heart {and is it Wrong to Enhance the Appearance?}
4.) Imperishable Beauty
5.) When You Are Not Your Own
6.) More than Bikinis and Burqas
7.) Wanton Eyes, Outstretched Necks and the Demeanor of the Christian Woman
8.) Captives to Lust
9.) Modest Dress: What it is and Eight Reasons Why We Don’t Want to Talk About It.
10.) Read Any Good Looks Lately?
11.) Introducing Six Immodestly Dressed Women
12.) What a Christian Woman Should Wear
13.) On Giving Grace and Six Reasons Why Christian Women Should Dress in Moderation
14.) On Making Rules {Sniff, Sniff.  Do I Smell a Legalist?}
15.) The Immodesty of Modesty {and Other Warnings}
16.) Resources
There is a huge Ginormus giveaway going on right now at In The Nursery of the Nation to kick off this new eBook here.
Please take time to read Bambi's recent post at Raising Homemakers – The Girl You Saw Strutting Her Stuff at the Pool.  
What others are saying about More Than Rules:

“More Than Rules is, hands down, the best work I have ever read on modesty. In typical Bambi Moore style, More Than Rules 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 Rules your ticket to a whole new wardrobe! “
~Jacinda, Growing Home

“We try to recognize when we are swinging and temper it with the Word of God which is always healthy and balanced. I can safely recommend Bambi’s book as a balanced resource on this subject. Read it with your daughters. You’ll have much to discuss.”
~Natalie Klegwa, Visionary Womanhood


You can pick up your copy on PDF or Kindle (Nook is coming soon!) for $4.99.  Click on the image below for more information about the book, More Than Rules or to purchase your copy!

"Home is the true wife's kingdom. ⁣ ⁣ Very lar "Home is the true wife's kingdom. ⁣
⁣
Very largely does the wife hold in her ⁣
hands, as a sacred trust, the happiness ⁣
and the highest good of the hearts that ⁣
nestle there. In the last analysis, home ⁣
happiness depends on the wife. ⁣
⁣
Her spirit gives the home its atmosphere. ⁣
⁣
Her hands fashion its beauty. ⁣
⁣
Her heart makes its love. ⁣
⁣
And the end is so worthy, so noble, so divine, ⁣
that no woman who has been called to be a wife, ⁣
and has listened to the call, should consider any⁣
price too great to pay, to be . . .⁣
 the light,⁣
 the joy,⁣
 the blessing,⁣
 the inspiration, ⁣
of a home. ⁣
⁣
The woman who makes a sweet, beautiful home, ⁣
filling it with love and prayer and purity, is doing ⁣
something better than anything else her hands ⁣
could find to do beneath the skies.⁣
⁣
A true mother is one of the holiest secrets of ⁣
home happiness. God sends many beautiful things ⁣
to this world, many noble gifts; but no blessing is ⁣
richer than that which He bestows in a mother who ⁣
has learned love's lessons well, and has realized ⁣
something of the meaning of her sacred calling."⁣

Summer is a natural time for me to get off my rout Summer is a natural time for me to get off my routine of menu planning. In the winter, we're more apt to stick to a schedule, but summer brings about a more flexible and changing calendar. ⁣
⁣
I'm sharing some simple tips that have been a help to me and hopefully, they'll help you in planning your summertime meals. Menu planning is a time and money saver, and I don't know about you, but I would sure like to have more time to enjoy my summer months.⁣
