Elizaeth George, truly inspired me to be a better wife and mother. This book gave practical ideas on how to be a Proverbs 31 woman in today's world. It truly changed me, making me more productive in my duties as a wife and mother. I had a hard time putting it down. I highly recommend it.

This book is wonderful. It has shown me that I too can become like the Proverbs 31 woman. I always looked upon her as a kind of superwoman. Someone who could not be matched. The indepth study by Elizabeth George has made this passage of scripture real to me, and I feel that I can too can be a virtuous woman.

Elizabeth George does an excellent job of giving the reader thorough insight into each verse describing the Proverbs 31 woman. The descriptions are clear and well thought out. She gives practical application for your own daily lifestyle. You walk away from each chapter with something to work on. It is the best book on Proverbs 31 that I've read.

If you're looking for a good, practical book for home group Bible study, then may I recommend this book to you. Elizabeth George makes a fine study of Proverbs 31 and includes a number of thoughtful study questions to help you work out the practical aspects of this passage for today.

This book is for single, or married ladies, but I find that married ladies will probably glean more from it because it is a book about being a virtuous wife!

You can also do this study on your own- you don't necessarily need a group. I would recommend it, however, because you can bounce ideas off each, share, and really encourage each other to be this woman.

My reason for only giving this book four stars is because Elizabeth George is a little week in her interpretations of some Scriptures. She ignores the primary and secondary interpretations in favor of the point that she is trying to make. I've found that this happens in more than one place, but its a small complaint because the book centers around Proverbs 31. Just read it with your eyes open and you'll learn a lot.

This is a book that you will not be able to put down! Through this book I have had a true heart change about the kind of woman, wife and mother God wants me to be. If you have a deep desire for God and your family to see you as a treasure this book is a must have.

This book has challenged me, a 22 yr. old young woman, to be all that I can be. Not to fall into the world's modern day trap of what they say a woman should be, but to strive to attain God's ideal for a woman. My personal walk with God has been taken to a new and ever growing level. It has also greatly helped me in my family, work, and personal life. It is a must read for any woman who wants life the best it can be...God's way!

It has inspired me to become the Proverbs 31 Woman that I thought I never could be! Until I read this book, I thought it was impossible to be that "perfect & beautiful" woman God wants me to be. God has shown me through this book that IT IS POSSIBLE!

Elizabeth George inspires me as a women, helping me to understand God's intention for my life to live for Him. I found this book to be a great guideline for my future walk in Him.

Have you ever looked at yourself and thought that you could never be everything the Proverbs 31 woman is in the Bible? I know I have! But as I read this book, I realized that thepurest virtues of beauty aren't specific, but rather individual. This book shows you what God meant when describing all the attributes of the Proverbs 31 woman. It introduces each characteristic verse by verse with a chapter for each describing Elizabeth's struggles and accomplishments with the virtues as well as what is intended and expected of the Christian woman today.

If you're wanting to live by the Bible, but just aren't sure you can, this book will help you see that every woman can be a treasure and a witness to the beauty and femininity that God gave us. "Beautiful In God's Eyes" helps you see that you ARE already beautiful to Him and how you can bring out the best in yourself for His glory. Highly recommended!

After reading all the glowing reviews of this book I was compelled to not only purchase it for myself, but 10 other copies for the women in my book club. It was a unanimous decision that we were all sorely disappointed. The first quarter or so was very promising and held our interest, but about halfway through we began to wonder if this woman ever slept or spent time with her family. Not only were we discouraged and left feeling inadequate, but after 20-something chapters I didn't feel like I really wanted to be a Proverbs 31 woman at all. Since reading this book I've gone on to read Captivating by John and Staci Eldredge -- now that is a book that truly makes you feel beautiful in God's eyes. If that is what you are looking for, as I was when I read Elizabeth George's title, then I recommend you find a different book.
