In Go Home and Wash the Dishes: When a Man Loves a Woman, author and ordained minister Barbara A. Thomas shares her thoughts on three areas of life: commitment, faith, and obedience.
To achieve this, the book is divided into three sections. The title section, "Go Home and Wash the Dishes: When a Man Loves a Woman," covers adultery. Husbands want more sex from their wives, and wives want more help managing the house and caring for the children. The solution? Better communication.
The second section, "Up from Despair: Listening to God," reminds us that we have to make time for God in our lives, even when we are in the valley of despair. In those quiet times with him, we can feel God's presence and know his plans for us.
The final section, "Always Under Construction," helps us to understand that God continues to develop us spiritually. Each blessing-and hardship-brings us closer to God.
This powerful collection of thoughts is pulled directly from Thomas's own personal experiences with God and his people and offers the timeless reassurance that God continues to love us in spite of ourselves.
