5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for the over 30 and never engaged/married gal, April 29, 2006

This review is from: Promises From God For Single Women (Hardcover)

If you've never been proposed to,all relationships ended before six months,never been "the One" but always "the Other one", hit 28+ and have it all but the boyfriend/husband and kids, treat guys way better than a lot of wives and girlfriends do, have been told by unavailable and available guys you are awesome but you are still single, this book is for you! It does take the Christian stand point so for those who aren't Christian inclined might find some solace if they open themselves up to it. It's for us gals who have tried and failed in so many ways, even sleeping around when we gave up and did it for gettin' ours. We aren't going to hell for our actions he basically says. Instead he says to leave it to God and heal ourselves on the inside which is VERY hard to do but do it anyway.

This review is from: Promises From God For Single Women (Hardcover)

I liked this book as it is a collection of Bible verses, commentary, and prayer on topics for women. While this book is intended for single women, I think the audience can be broader. As we all have a variety of women in our lives all at different stages in their lives.

This book covers specific topics such as: loneliness, friendship, betrayal, forgiveness, sex, healing, hopelessness, happieness, love, relationships, purpose, and abundance. These topics are so broad that they really touch more than the lives of just single women. Each topic has several pages of Bible verses, a brief commentary, and a short prayer.

T.D. Jakes has written a book that can be used time and time again. While for me this wouldn't be a good daily devotional, it is clear on a variety of topics and can be used as a wonderful resource for support. I really think this is a great book to have around when we are looking for hope and support on issues that trouble us.

This book is easy to read, and I really recommend this book to those of us that are women, and have women in our lives. Giving support to others through what you can read in this book could possibly give others a greater perspective. I definately recommend giving this book a try for single women, and even women that may not be single.
