5.0 out of 5 stars Should have been called womanhood 101!, October 27, 1999

This review is from: The Power of Femininity: Rediscovering the Art of Being a Woman (Paperback)

" The bottom line on this femininity thing? Women need men, women need one another, but most of all women need God. After all, we were really created for HIM. " That about says it all. Ladies, God has given us this wonderful gift....our femininity. Michelle McKinney Hammond does it once again (and you wonder why she is my favorite!) in The Power of Femininity. This book is full of practical principles about how to use what God has given us in the proper place. Michelle has showed the power women have to shape cities, states and nations. The power of influence is a powerful thing. It's not flirting or "putting your self out there;" it's living the way God created a woman to be. Michelle will challenge your thinking about womanhood. I can't tell you how God worked through this book in my life to allow me to take hold of this wonderful power and use it for His glory. I am in awe about how much better my relationships are on every level! Ladies, if this book does not make you overjoyed that you are a woman....we need to talk! If you are a mother of girls....this is a must. This is a great book that promotes sisterhood, healthy male-female relationships and, most of all, a deeper relationship with God. If you only read one book this year, let it be this one!!!!You won't be sorry.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring, December 9, 1999

This review is from: The Power of Femininity: Rediscovering the Art of Being a Woman (Paperback)

From the very beginning of the book, I know that I was in class with the counseling spirit of God. I was so impressed with the subjects and how they fit into my life and into many lives of people I associate with. I know that this book is annointed to bring about change and a peace about making new decisions that bring honor and glory to God. I thank Michelle for having the grace to print it. I am sending it to about 5 people for Christmas. I believe that it is a seed that I will plant into some lives and God will supply all the nutrients needed to save some marriages and even change how single women see themselves. A MUST READ

5.0 out of 5 stars The Reconversion of the Feminine Spirit, July 31, 2001

This review is from: The Power of Femininity: Rediscovering the Art of Being a Woman (Paperback)

This book was so powerful and such an inspiration to me. This book addressed every woman regardless of where they are in their lives. In this book, Michelle talks alot about how we relate to men regardless of where we are in our lives. She reinforces the need for us to respect and honor men in general. She shows us how to utilize what God has given us as women, such as the power of influence. She discusses the proper use of it and the improper use of it, which is manipulation. The book is phenomenal. I found myself crying and repenting while I was reading it. One of my most enjoyable segments of this book was when she addressed the Christian, Single, Professional woman. She talks about us wearing these self-sufficient attitudes on our shoulders and that being all that men see when they meet us, when men indeed have a need to be needed. This blessed me because God had already begun to deal with me on presenting the beauty of who I am to a man and not all of my accomplishments. It was certainly confirmation. While she addressed the need for us to be submissive and honor men, she balances this by addressing the need for single women and married women to stop rescuing men and allow them to be men. She even addresses motherhood and women in leadership positions. The bottom line is that we can be ladies and feminine regardless of what situations we encounter.
