book what the Bible, the sacred book of her faith (and mine), says a Christian

<DIV>Dear Visionaries:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Now here's an interesting thing. If you run a search on Google
of the terms "Tai Chi" and "Moscow, Idaho," you pull up a link to a book by
Nancy Wilson on appropriate behavior for Christian wives. The
book is called <EM>The Fruit of Her Hands</EM>.</DIV>

<DIV>Here's a snippet from the first reader's review:</DIV>

<TD class=bdCustomerReviewsTD><B>Review:</B> Its about time someone stood
up and told Christian women what being married to a Christian man ought to
look like. It is a life of service, hard work, piety, and submission.
</TD></TR></TABLE></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Gee, Christian marriage sounds about as much fun as indentured
servitude. This woman doesn't need Tai Chi, and she certainly doesn't need
Nancy Wilson. What she needs is Tae Kwon Do. Or kick-boxing.
Or a sledgehammer and a good attorney.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Instead of service, hard work, piety and submission, could I just cut to
the chase and get a poke in the eye with a sharp stick?</DIV>

<DIV>PS: The sad thing is, I really do want to find someone who teaches Tai Chi
here in Moscow, but now I'm afraid to look.</DIV>
