    Will The Real Proverbs 31 Woman Please Stand Up Series

    Contributed by Mark Gomez on Jul 11, 2012
    based on 4 ratings
     | 26,208 views

    The Proverbs 31 woman can be a threatening and foreboding creature. Perhaps that is why so many women have attacked and denied her reality (rejection). Perhaps that is why so many men have held her up as some standard by which all women should be measured (oppression). But the reality is that she ...read more
