<\/a>by Debi Pearl from No Greater Joy \u2013 New Book! The Hidden Help Meet<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\nEditor\u2019s note: Aha! Now we have an idea of what Debi\u2019s new \u2018Help Meet\u2019 book is about. It\u2019s about being the little woman standing behind the great man doing the grunt work, unthanked, unpaid, and unacknowledged. If that\u2019s your desire in life, great, go for it. But, don\u2019t make a rule for everyone out of this idea. This is just a rehash of all the ways that Ms. Pearl herself has accepted her role in her husband\u2019s life with a grimace she wants everyone to mistake for a joyful smile. The Denny she\u2019s speaking of here is Denny Kenaston<\/a> \u2013 a speaker and author out of Pennsylvania.<\/em><\/p>\n When Denny unexpectedly died of brain cancer, I grieved for both him and his message. Millions of women need these gloriously encouraging words. I knew that it would still go forth on audio, but the written page reaches so many more people of different cultures and beliefs. I asked Jackie Kenaston, Denny\u2019s beloved wife and my sweet friend, if we could transcribe Denny\u2019s Hidden Woman message and expand upon it. She gladly agreed. QUOTING QUIVERFULL is a regular feature of NLQ \u2013 we present the actual words of noted Quiverfull leaders, cultural enforcers and those that seek to keep women submitted to men and ask our readers: What do you think? Agree? Disagree? This is the place to state your opinion. Please, let\u2019s keep it respectful \u2013 but at the same time, we encourage readers to examine the ideas of Quiverfull and Spiritual Abuse honestly and thoughtfully.<\/p>\n Could Not Even Heed Her Own Advice<\/a><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Stay in touch!

\nI loved working on this book. Reading his words, I was thrilled as he recalled the stories of great evangelists and missionaries who had changed the world. Especially interesting was how the surviving letters between the men and their wives reveal the wife\u2019s support and involvement in her husband\u2019s ministry. Many of the greatest writers never wrote a word. Their wives, who knew Greek, Latin, and other languages, wrote what their husbands preached and then translated the messages, putting them in print and promoting worldwide distribution. Denny points out how different the outcome would have been had the wives whined because of the sacrifices of ministry. As with Abraham and Sarah, it took BOTH husband and wife for God to do a great work. Being less known than their husbands, these women were hidden help meets, but in the portals of glory they are front-runners. It will be a real pleasure to visit with them in heaven to hear their whole story.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n![\"more\"](\"https:\/\/wp-media.patheos.com\/blogs\/sites\/188\/2017\/04\/more.jpg\")
