Letter to the Editor: Church Women’s Group Wants to Use Book by Linda Dillow

Greetings!

I’m wondering if you’ve heard of Linda Dillow and her books?  My church women’s ministry is going to start reading her book What’s It Like to Be Married to Me.  I’ve yet to find any critical reviews on this author.  I want to make sure she’s doctrinally solid before I invest in participating in this study.  I would very much appreciate any input you have regarding this author.

Thank you in advance for your response.

In Christ,

______________

Our Response:

HI _________,

We do not have anything on our website about her. However, we would like to issue you a word of caution. In her books, she quotes several contemplatives including Thomas Merton, Richard Foster, Philip Yancey, and others. This tells us that she is most likely reading the mystics, and even if she herself is not directly promoting contemplative prayer or the emerging church, she is pointing her readers to those who do. Thank you for writing, and may the Lord give you discernment in these matters.
