I've decided at age 64 I was probably a little too old to be reviewing a
book called "Hot Mama."
But KATHY LIPP and ERIN MACPHERSON did a great job on a book that may be
needed today as in our culture the truth about sex has been distorted. The full
title is Hot MAMA 12 SECRETS TO A SIZZLING HOT MARRIAGE; do I have anyone's
attention yet?
There is a Hot Mama pledge, Hot Mama Ideas and Hot Mama bucket ideas
interspersed throughout the book. Good points about preconceived ideas are in
one paragraph written by Erin which says, "...I've (obviously) worked past that
(thank you, good Christian counselors), but my preconceived notions about sex
were really damaging to our early relationship. And I'd venture to guess that
the preconceived notions of many women---weather they were learned from parents,
movies, magazines, books or friend---have been damaging to the their marriages.
You can't change the way you were taught about sex, and you certainly
can't change the stigmas that come with the "thou shalts" or the "you shoulds"
that you've heard about sex, but you can start to look at sex differently and in
the way God see it."
I was already a fan of Kathi Lipp, (www.kathilipp.com) as I've heard her on
some radio programs before and I subscribe to several of her newsletters. She
and Erin Macpherson (ChristianMamasGuide.com) make a great writing team.
Some added bonuses were "Ask Our Sexperts" and "Girlfriend to Girlfriend Q
& A." I loved that the book ended with tips from real-life "hot mamas" the
kind that the authors say they trust as opposed to those online or in magazines
and other resources to continue on your "Hot Mama" journey. Who knows, even at
age 64 there may still be hope for some sizzle in our house and that doesn't
mean I'm frying bacon again.
I
received this book free of charge from Revell Reads in exchange for my honest
review.
