1.0 out of 5 stars Faulty premise, September 1, 2003

This review is from: A Good Man Is Hard To Find Unless You Ask God To Be Head Of Your Search Committee (Paperback)

This book is interesting, thought provoking & written in a very warm, engaging style. However, one thing bothers me. In the book, she states that her current husband was dating two different women, having sex with both of them, while courting her simultaneously. He later dumped the two women, picked her to be his wife, but as far as I can tell his attitude is, "hey, I'm a man and these women were giving it up to me but I picked you to marry because you're the virgin", shrug, shrug, wink, wink "don't you feel special". The author's attitude in turn is, "this is how men are, women have to deal with it, if you want the man, stay a virgin".

For that alone, I give this book 1 star. It seems like the author is so in love with being married, she doesn't see the toad that she married. And I'd like to say that if a man displayed such a lack of sexual purity while single, don't assume he's all of a sudden going to remain pure just because he's married. (Kobe, anyone?). Women have to stop thinking that marriage makes an impure man, pure. Or that marriage will turn a toad into a prince. It's not surprising that the divorce rate amongst Christians is higher than the divorce rate amongst non-Christians with that kind of "marriage is all important, do anything you can to get married" attitude that's prevalent amonst so many Christian women.

The faulty premise in this book is, do whatever you can to get the ring! (woo hoo)

I have recomended this book to all my single friends.This book encourages the single woman to have faith in what you are believing God for,but also reminding you to keep busy for God, and he wil "find you."

This is a very good book, especially for those women who have lost their hopes of ever meeting a good man. It will help you to trust and believe that God is still in control of your life. You will realize that no matter what you do, it is not up to you, but up to God and if you wait on God, He will bless you at His time. I recommend it.
