Anyone ever read a book called "Guardian Angel" by Skip Moen?

I recently met a women on a reasonably-useful site called "Christian Cafe," that claimed to be "messianic," and we exchanged some emails. She is certainly NOT a 'candidate', but seems to have almost a cult-like devotion to the thesis of a book called Guardian Angel, by Skip Moen. (And spouts the usual "I believe Scripture," but ;Monogamy is the One True Preferred Plan, and don't bother me with Scripture to the contrary,' stuff we've all heard ad nauseum.)

The Amazon reviews are honestly not helpful; some rave how "wonderful" and "marriage-valuable" it is, others say don't bother. Not a single one of the MANY reviews I saw had enough information to make any decision about whether I'd think it's pagan trash or not.
(Although, I'm increasingly tending to lean in that direction. ;) )

Some books allow a preview, or read the table of contents, or whatever - nothing of the sort here to go on. And I'm not inclined to reward an author with a purchase royalty if it's crap. (Ebay wasn't much help, either, BTW.)

Anybody read it and have an opinion?

PS> If I WERE to find a copy and read it, it might be for purposes of critique, based on what I've seen...
 
“Every woman knows she was designed for a special role — a role that has been denied to her far too long. In this study of Scripture, Skip Moen re-examines the Genesis account from an Hebraic perspective. This foundation supports a radical revision of contemporary views about women. Women were designed by God to guide, direct and supply the boundary conditions for their men. They were designed by God to be the relationship managers of marriage. They are the ones who are intended to provide strength, shelter and correction. Without understanding these roles, marriages will flounder and gender issues will remain unresolved.

This book is for anyone who wants to know how to make a relationship work according to God’s way. It’s time for a change! You can start right now.”

Haven’t read it, but this description doesn’t look promising.

With what you've noted there @steve, I'm not even going to bother looking for anything more. 💩

So, if all that is the woman's role - what is left to be the man's role?
Utter nonsense.
 
But, still, where's @PeteR when you need 'im? I figured if no one else had heard about this guy, it'd still be right in his wheelhouse... ;)

Somehow biblical truth was hidden by about 2000 years. And correct explanation just happen to be in agreement with current political correctness. It's just a coincidence. 🤥

Based on the flap, sounds like garbage. Typical 'ezer kenigdo' nonsense used by feminist 'Hebraics' and reformed Jews to justify giving her authority over the man...
 
I regretfully read it several times, watched the video series with my husband, and bought into it eagerly. My husband absolutely did not. He argued about it biblically and logically, but I would not hear him. I was so opposed to patriarchy.

I actually led a Bible study for women using it. Thankfully some husbands made their wives stop attending. I wish all of them would have. 😭. This egalitarian doctrine really took root in me and “made so much sense.” Once God kindly led me to repentance and burned this off of me I can’t even believe I humored it one bit. It is such a twisting of scripture. I pray for the women who were in the study to have their eyes opened as well. That book did not have biblical alignment reflecting as in heaven so on earth. It’s a church lady feminist manifesto causing disorder and misconduct- sigh!!!

Yeah, I saw that, but it seemed pretty vague.

I love Hebrew, so that is why I got it. I wanted to understand how to be a wife from a Hebraic understanding, which Skip Moen says he can provide.

I have always wanted to be a godly woman and wife, but I can’t stand complimentarian patriarchy and their blatant hate for women. It wasn’t until a couple of months ago that God taught me that is a counterfeit patriarchy and His likes women a lot. Once He showed me that I have been hooked to biblical patriarchy and reject all mutual submission, egalitarian ideologies!

There are many truths in his book, but the distortions lead away from God’s order and give power to the woman equal to God, though he never comes out and directly says that and cloaks it in “mutual submission” language. I must admit reading this book did make me softer and less independent, but spiritually I was still elevating myself above my husband- no bueno!!!

Truth with some lies still ruins lives!
