The Girlfriends' Bible [Paperback]

Cathy Hamilton (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 1, 2004

Every page of THE GIRLFRIENDS' BIBLE is filled with bits of humorous but inspirational encouragement that women and girlfriends of all ages will understand. * 'Yea, though you walk through the valley of cracked sidewalks in high heels, do not fear. For I will be there to pick you up when you fall on your ass.' * 'When you are heavy laden with PMS poundage, I will take your burden for you and deny thy girth.' * 'I shalt not steal your boyfriend, hairdo, or signature colour.' * "When you get older, I shall forsake you not. For friends are like wine - the older, the better. You can get equally drunk with old or new wine. But intoxication with old wine is far more pleasurable.' * 'If your cup runneth over because your bra is too small and you look like a common whore, I will tell you, just as you would tell me about a visible panty line.' Friendship between women is sacred, and THE GIRLFRIENDS' BIBLE is filled with hilarious 'scriptures' that women can and do live by. This book will help every woman tell her best gal pal how valuable their friendship is.

This review is from: The Girlfriends' Bible (Paperback)

If you and your girlfriends are in need of some giggles, or if you're looking for the perfect gift for the girlfriend that has everything, THE GIRLFRIENDS' BIBLE is just what you need. This witty book of comical quips is a testament to female bonding throughout all stages of life. The sassy bits of wisdom speak to our dreams, celebrations and calamities, transcending youth, middle-aged and golden years.

Divided into chapters, biblical style, author Cathy Hamilton shares "The Ten Commandments of Shopping." The chapters include such mischievous scriptures as, "Wither thou goest, I will go. Whither thou sleepest, I will never tell." Hamilton reassures us that friendship is forever, "And it will come to pass, that we reach old age, and this will not dishearten but inspire us to lose our inhibitions and do exactly as we please." She reminds us of the depth of loyalty, "And when a store clerk asks you what size you are and you answer with the lowest size in your closet, whether you can still squeeze into it or not, I will honor your answer and treat it as truth."

It's no wonder that Hamilton's book is a success. After all, she created the perfect man, Boyfriend-in-a-Box! THE GIRLFRIENDS' BIBLE joins Hamilton's other creative and funny books on the lighthearted side of the bookshelf: MOMISMS, DADISMS and KIDISMS.

Grab up a copy of this entertaining book and share the smiles and laughter on your next girls' night out!

The Girlfriends' Bible is a wonderful little book. It is a quick, easy read, and any group of girlfriends will surely smile knowingly at each verse....yep, we've been there. The biblical influence of each rule is a neat way to present these scriptures that women live by. This book is powerful in the way it binds women together in our unique little way that men don't really understand. Girls, buy this for your best girlfriends....they'll love it.
