Dressed to ...

Last week I finally put in an order for our school books and along with them I ordered a couple of others, "Secret Keeper- The Delicate Power of Modesty" and "Christian Modesty and the Public Undressing of America". The first is written by a woman and the second by a man. I have found both, while somewhat distressing, to be quite eye opening. Sometimes while reading I have felt defensive although I'm not always sure why. I have much more of a tendancy to keep myself covered than most women so my own defensiveness is somewhat surprising even to myself. Could it be that deep down inside I have never really delt with the heart of the issue either?

    Maybe I'll read them when I get a chance. That's probably a good thing for me to remember to be.

    Yes, they definitely make you think.

    I'm interested in reading them too. I'm concerned about my teaching modesty to my girls. Am I doing enough? Are they getting the seriousness of it?
