This review is from: Putting On a Gentle And Quiet Spirit: 1 Peter (A Woman After God's Own Heart®) (Paperback)

I led a Bible study last year on 1Peter and we really felt God convicting us as how to depend on Him to make us gentle and quiet. At first we kept feeling that we really blew it but as we progressed we knew that it had to be the grace of God to help us conform to the image of Christ. I find Mrs. George's books very much in line with the written word of God and a real encouragement to live our lives to His glory.

This review is from: Putting On a Gentle And Quiet Spirit: 1 Peter (A Woman After God's Own Heart®) (Paperback)

This amazing little study put together by Elizabeth George is currently being used by our church's women's class. It has encouraged much discussion, is clearly Biblical, and simple, yet direct. There is no doubt left in any person's mind that this study is relevent for women of today who are facing many complex issues, and need Biblical hope and direction in problem solving for the future. Give this book a try for a young women's new study, small group, etc. You will not be disappointed !!

This review is from: Putting On a Gentle And Quiet Spirit: 1 Peter (A Woman After God's Own Heart®) (Paperback)

Elizabeth George writes with a very personal style which makes the reader feel that you are learning and growing together with her. She writes without apology from a woman's viewpoint, laying out the truth of God's Word and letting the Word speak for itself. The truth of 1 Peter about the qualities of a gentle and quiet spirit are so misunderstood in our day. We are reminded of how precious they are to God and how beautiful is the woman who seeks after these qualities. The author greatly encourages the pursuit of knowing God and becoming a woman of God. This book is a classic for women, showing that the woman who has these qualities also gains quiet strength and beauty.
