More Than Rules: Exploring the Heart of Beauty & Modesty

byMarci Ferrell

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.

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
