The linked title is to a book that our ladies at church have been studying together. It is based on the following passage from 1 Peter, especially the verse 4.
Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives; -1 Peter 3:1
While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear. -1 Peter 3:2
Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; -1 Peter 3:3
But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price. -1 Peter 3:4
This would make a great devotional text for a bridal shower and there are numerous quotes in this book that can be used within the context of a bridal shower devotional. It would be a thoughtful gift to buy a copy of the book for the bride to give to her along with your devotional at the end of your talk. It is a valuable book.
