A message for all women, January 23, 2005
T.D. Jakes has gone directly to the soul of women in WOMAN THOU ART LOOSED!
In what can only be described as a spiritual love sonnet to women, Jakes
speaks to all of the hurt and pain that has been experienced by women since
the beginning of time. Using taut Biblical examples like Sara, Eve, and
Esther, Jakes ministers to women in a way that convinces you that divine
intervention was in play when he penned these words.
WOMAN THOU ART LOOSED! delves into women's roles as ordained by God and how
often these roles have become confused due to old hurts, pain, and abuse. As
Jakes covers a plethora of issues including incest, premarital sex, rape, and
promiscuity, he speaks directly to the reader. You often feel you are sitting
in the room with him as he discusses these topics and the biblical insight
into his views. He prays with you as you read and he encourages every woman
to reach for her individual greatness in God.
I have read this book twice and both times I was in very different places in
my life. Each reading brought me a very different and personal message.
Jakes describes the stages of life within the text and I found myself easily
in his metaphor. I was so moved by his words that I dismissed my reading of
the book for a second time as coincidence and acknowledged it as the "God-
incidence" that it certainly was.
WOMAN THOU ART LOOSED! is a book that should be on every woman's nightstand
because no matter what you are experiencing, Jakes has a message for you time
and time again.

A Woman's Guide to Being Set Free, January 21, 2000
By A Customer
T.D. JAKES HAS A WAY OF MAKING YOU TAKE A STEP BACK AND LOOK AT THE WAY YOU CARRY YOURSELF AS A WOMAN. THIS BOOK SPEAKS TO THE WOMEN WHO HAVE BEEN ABUSED MENTALLY, PHYSICALLY OR SEXUALLY. IT FORCES WOMEN WHO USE MONEY, MEN AND THEIR BODIES AS A WAY TO GAIN SELF-ESTEEM, RESPECT, OR LOVE. THE BOOK POINTED OUT THAT SOME OF US WHO HAVE BEEN USED SEXUALLY AND DISCARDED,UNKNOWINGLY SEND OUT VIBES THAT SAY TO UNSAVED MEN "I'M DESPERATE, ABUSED AND LONELY. I'LL TOLERATE ANYTHING TO BE LOVED." THAT'S WHY SOME OF US KEEP MEETING THE SAME TYPE OF MEN. SO NO, ALL MEN ARE NOT DOGS. SOME OF US JUST HAVEN'T LEARNED TO LOVE OURSELVES ENOUGH AND TRUST GOD TO BLESS US WITH OUR HEARTS DESIRES. I RECOMMEND THIS TO ANY WOMAN WHO IS TIRED, READY TO TAKE OUT THE TRASH(E.G. BAGGAGE FROM THE PAST, UNSAVED MEN, ETC.), AND READY TO START HER NEW LIFE IN CHRIST.

A must read for all women even if you are not a Christian!, April 2, 1999
By A Customer
After reading this book,I was totally convinced that T. D. Jakes is annointed and has been prophetically impressed upon by God to reach "women" in a manner in which no other man has done thus far. I would be remiss if I did not give hommage to Bishop Jakes for having the divine wisdom and indepth conscienceness to caringly touch those secret places of a womans' psyche that only God himself knows about. This book transcends all barriers such as ethnicity and cultural backgrounds. When it comes down to facts, women are women, and many of us are faced with similar challenges throughout life. I would recommend this book to every woman! It is healing, and powerful. Though "Woman Thou Art Loosed" will often bring tears to your eyes, those tears will inevitably be the water which surfaces the pain and washes it away. After reading this magnificant work by Bishop T. D. Jakes, I believe any woman would be on her way to recovery from whatever hinders her spiritually, physically or emotionally. I, personally, thank God Bishop Jakes!
