Book Review: Erikson on Development in Adulthood: New Insights from the Unpublished Papers

us to sin (Gal. 5:19; Matt. 6:33). What Fels says about recognition is true for Christians as well: “recognition by a highly respected person can leave a lifelong imprint” (76). We already have received the most important recognition when we became believers. God considered us worthy enough to ransom his only Son for us (John 3:16; cf. 3:36; 5:24). Yet, Christians should work hard in their workplaces to receive recognition for excellence from co-workers and superiors and, thus, glorify God in their workplaces (cf. Col. 3:22–25). As life goes on, we live to strive for God’s ultimate recognition. By being faithful not only to godly tasks, but also to secular mandates, we hope to attain God’s final recognition that we are indeed His “good and faithful servant” (Matt. 25:21). Yet, Fels’ book speaks to the church as a community to implement support systems for women’s dreams. First, it is time to educate members to actively be involved in influencing and mentoring the young female generation to be accountable, to access resources, and to develop their God-given talents and visions for God’s kingdom (Acts 2:17). Second, a mandatory premarital class can be implemented in order to educate and prepare young couples to have a healthy marriage based on the biblical principles of mutual respect and sacrificial love to one another (Eph. 5:21–31). Respect and love are required in building each other up and for the discussion of responsibilities such as sharing of housework and child care. Third, as Fels commends the readers to do, “women need to look carefully at the couples around them and search for models that correspond to their goals and seem to work well” (235). We, as married Christians, are called to exhibit healthy, edifying, real-life examples of married life corresponding to Christ’s attitude of servanthood, selflessness, and sacrificial love to his bride, the church (Rev. 19:7). Anna Fels raises very important issues in attaining, achieving, and even maintaining ambition in a woman’s course of life in spite of numerous obstacles. The major goal of ambitions is “finding structures that provide recognition based on talent, skill, or hard work—rather than on appearance, sexuality, or subservience” (96). And along with Fels, it is my, and prayerfully, all of our hope and expectation “that with each generation, the conflicts will lessen and the difficult decisions become fewer” (256) for our sisters, daughters, and granddaughters regardless of their racial and socioeconomic differences.
