I don't remember ever reading Proverbs 31, much less knowing anything about the "Proverbs 31 Woman". Even though my parents, especially my mother, raised me in the church and taught me "womanly" skills, it just couldn't compare to what I learned from this book. Each chapter deals with a verse from this chapter in Proverbs. There are explanations of each trait as well as many examples. The author is very direct in her writing, and gives many modern day suggestions on how to let the "Proverbs 31" woman be a guide to everyday living. My first marriage was not Christ-centered, and since this one is, I constantly search for guidance in being the best Christian wife and mother I can be. One area the author especially shed light on is "submission." My old way of thinking kept relating "submissiveness" to being a doormat. Because of this book, and similar ones that help interpret Scripture, I've got a whole new attitude toward "submission" and a wonderfully happy marriage. For any woman looking for a role model in being a strong woman, wife, and/or mother, I highly recommend this book. It's an enjoyable read!

This book focuses on preparing women for marriage, motherhood and ministry. It may not be popular with the feminists of our day who believe freedom and self-realization mean having no commitments and responsibilities for others. As a woman first submits her will, life and future to God, who created her, she can then begin to find out who she truly was meant to be in this life.

This is a wonderful book. It is a quick read. a great light study guide. I good addition to building your ( Im going to get me a good Christian man) Im working on me library.

Love the book. It arrived in great condition. I am very happy with my purchase.

Don't waste your money. Most sections are extremely brief with little substance, however I was astonished that the author uses part of Proverbs 31 to claim that God requires all wives to work for pay and not "waste" our "gifts". She even goes so far as to say that putting your kids in daycare is allowing some other woman to use her "gifts". In my humble opinion, this book is feminism in sheeps clothing!
