I just finished reading Adorned. Living Out the Beauty of The Gospel by Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth, and I can't say enough good things about it. Wolgemuth is a well-known author and Bible teacher, and reading this book is just like sitting and listening to her teach.
This is a long book when compared to many other books in this genre - 14 chapter plus an epilogue - and is a book that should be read slowly and deliberately. Adorned takes several verses from the New Testament book of Titus (Titus 2:1-5, 10) and bases each chapter on a specific phrase from these verses, all pointing us toward "adorning the doctrine of God our Savior."
This is a book written to women about how to be Godly women. Wolgemuth says that "we need to understand how to adorn the teaching of the gospel of Christ with the way we live - and help others to do the same." With that goal in mind, this is an excellent book for personal study or for Bible study groups.
Adorned is a much-needed book in our culture. The focus in this book is on sound doctrine, without which we can be easily led astray and become susceptible to false teachings. Wogemuth reminds us that we must learn how to discern truth from error, which comes from knowing sound doctrine, without which we cannot live in a way that honors God.
I found this book to be convicting and encouraging and refreshing. I urge you to get a copy and read it for yourself.
"...so that in everything they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior." (Titus 2:10 ESV)
