Having been interviewed for this book by Mrs. Cook, I was intrigued by her topic of combining the Prov. 31 woman with stories of America's First Ladies. I was thrilled upon reading the book to find it a tremendous source of information and inspiration. Mrs. Cook's stories of the First Ladies were a delight to read, and I looked forward to the start of each new chapter, waiting to see what scene she would paint for me to be able to envision some touching moments in the lives of these women. Each chapter then develops into a wonderfully readable and enjoyable collection of Scripture applications, interviews and fascinating personal stories. An excellent book!

The way Jane, the author, brought the woman of Proverbs 31 to life through the lives of the first ladies was unexpected and fascinating. I loved how Jane weaved each story into the next story. I was so impressed with this book I bought a copy for each of my three nieces. Not only will this book give them more insight into our country's history, but more importantly, it will also teach them what it means to be a woman of noble character.

I have enjoyed reading this book about our countries First Ladies. Many interesting and encouraging stories for all women! Loved especially the stories about Pat Nixon, Abigail Adams, and Martha Washington. I also appreciated the way the author tied Proverbs 31 to these great women of our nation's past as well as some great women from our current generation. Thanks, Jane, for reminding all of us of an important but often neglected part of our country's history!

A must read for any woman looking for meaning and worth in her life. Offers courage, wisdom, serenity and a host of helpfulness in feeling important mentally, physically and spiritually. Ties in good Christian morals and values to live by.

I enjoyed the book very much. It shows the faith of our first Ladies, and how their faith directed their lives. I really liked how it compared the First Ladies to the Wife of Noble Character of Proverbs 31. I think all Christian women will enjoy the book.
