A Reader’s View of Debi Pearl’s book, Created To Be His Help Meet

For several years an article has circulated on the Internet entitled among other things, “Slave Labor.” It was actually an extract from a 1954 Home Economics textbook for high school girls. In summary, the girls were taught to be good housewives by preparing their homes, their supper meal, and their children for the arrival of their hard working husbands. It ends with, “Try to make your home a place of peace and order where your husband can relax”. In short, she was to treat him as a king arriving home to his castle.

A woman who is repulsed by such teaching would NOT welcome the core ideas of Debi Pearl’s book, Created to Be His Help Meet.. Indeed, the author herself admits to being tempted to skirt not-so-politically-correct issues that would cause her to lose sales. Michael, her husband told her, “If God thought it was important enough to inspire it as part of His Word to us, then you should include it”.

For those wanting God’s message to them, this is a great book. It is based solely on the teaching of Scripture without regard to what is ‘popular’. Debi studied the entire Bible, looking for what God taught about the role of women. It is based on the principle of design, that God made women, especially married women, with a special, vital role in the world. That role is to be a helpmeet to her husband. If she tries to take on his role, she will not only damage their marriage and home, but will be frustrated for missing God’s design for her as well.

It took four years, thousands of hours, many tears, revisions and distractions, but I finally finished my book. I had no idea God had so much to say to us ladies until I began going through God’s Word verse by verse, writing the different sections of Created to Be His Help Meet.” These words are from Debi herself.

The book is based on this idea: “Quit trying to make your husband into the man you think he should be and, instead, allow God to make you into the woman He designed you to be”. Often this results in his changing for the good too. If he is treated as a king, he will treat his wife as the queen. However, this dare not be her reason for wanting to respond correctly.

Most women whose marriage is far from what she dreamed it would be feel they are the exception to the principles presented here. Debi does not skirt these problems but answers tough questions coming from difficult marriage situations. She also deals with intimate subjects in a discrete but clear manner.

A clear endorsement of the book lies in the fact that, at this writing, it is in its 8th printing in less than 4 years. Though some churches have even banned it (!), the letters to the Pearls’ No Greater Joy Ministry telling of marriages that have been transformed as a result of reading and applying this book, speak volumes about its genuineness as a tool for women to see themselves as God designed them, not as inferior or superior, but as unique.

Debi Pearl is the author of multiple best sellers including Created to Be His Help Meet and The Vision. You can find out more on her website.
