5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent "handbook" for women., October 4, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Gentle Ways of the Beautiful Woman (Hardcover)

This book is a wonderful manual on how to become organized in daily life and to have a deeper relationship with Christ. It has been an inspiration to me in every area of my life. Anne Ortlund has a delightful way of writing which makes the reader feel as though she is having a personal conversation with Anne and not just reading a book. Anne also offers wonderful advice on becoming the woman that God intends. It is encouraging, inspiring, absolutely practical and completely enjoyable.

5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful book, March 16, 2002

This review is from: The Gentle Ways of the Beautiful Woman (Hardcover)

This book is 3 books in one. The first part, Disciplines of the Beautiful Woman, gives you advice and tips about every day living: wardrobe, time management, etc. The second part, Disciplines of the Heart, helps you enhance your relationship with God and your faith and trust in Him. This part has helped me a lot to be more confident in God, to not worry so much but
trust Him. The third part, Disciplines of the Home, is addressed especially to women who are also mothers.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful guide for women!, January 23, 2001

This review is from: The Gentle Ways of the Beautiful Woman (Hardcover)

Mrs. Ortlund does a beautiful job in teaching women how to organize their lives and get their priorities in place according to what will please God. She clearly sets the ideal, which may be unattainable for most women, especially those with young children. However, every woman should be able to gain some insight from this book and make her life better.
