Love this book! It's a lot like "The Rules", but with a very Christian perspective. Lots of good references to scripture, which I found very helpful. The basic message of the book is, focus on what the Lord is doing in your life, mind your own business, and the right man will come along. It's no good trying to make it happen yourself... that's YOUR timing, not God's timing. (I liked this one better than "What to Do Until Love Finds You.") Also liked "Choosing God's Best" by Don Raunikar.

I highly recommend this book for any single woman who has ever had her heart broken, suffered disappointments in her dating relationships or is just baffled as to why men act the way they do. This book is a beacon of light for any single woman who is in the dark about dating and the relationship process. Michelle McKinney Hammond goes right to the source (God) and paints a bright and clear picture of God's design for the relationship. This book just oozes with wisdom and love and she delivers a powerful message of hope and encouragement in such a gentle, loving and sisterly way. I loved this book because it has changed my outlook on men, dating, and relationships and it has led me to the most important and fulfilling relationship that I could possibly have and that is my relationship with God. What I learned from reading this book is that...1. God is a jealous God and that He loves me and wants to be in a relationship with me (rather than the knuckleheads I've been dating) 2. Love never fails (God's love is a love that you can trust). 3. A donkey with always want a thoroughbred (a man of lesser quality will always desire a woman of quality but will not possess the ability to meet her needs, so why waste your time entertaining the dumb stuff...life is too short...have courage and never be afraid to stand on your convictions) 4. I am a virtuous woman (for my value is worth far more than rubies and I deserve to be approached and treated as such) 5. I am someone's missing rib (God has someone special looking for me with a missing rib, all I have to do is to continue to beautiful even long after he finds me.) 6. Trust God that he will give you the desires of your heart and in the meantime...live life like you already have the love of your life....because you do. Great book! It has changed my attitude about men, dating and love through the renewing of my mind. I am a new creature, my mistake of past are past away and behold all things which include my joys and my desires for my life and future are brand spankin' new! To God be the Glory Forever!!!!

This book is truly a blessing! Ms Hammond has remainded consistent in helping Christian single women to cope and see how they can be "irresistable" by following God's Word and instruction. This book is an excellent follow-up to "What To Do Until Love Finds You..."

Ms. Hammond speaks plainly, but intelligently. Offering encouragement, sound advice, and common sense, Ms. Hammond guides her reader into the logic that a woman has a role which is very important to fill. She also drives home the importance of being a Principles woman, and the value in waiting on the Lord instead of pushing to get that man!

The study guide in the back of the book out-does the one in "What To Do Until Love Finds You..." Ms. Hammond has expanded it, and through the study guide encourages the reader to fully evaluate themselves and find out the areas that need improvement. It also re-inforces what was stated in the individual chapters.

GET THIS BOOK! You will be blessed long after you have finished reading it and have started incorporating the matierial into your life!

I never really questioned my worth as a woman. Although I have to admit that in the past, I've acted against my belief in who I know I am in God. This book has helped to re-open my eyes to God's plan for us as women and has truly convicted me. I was silently saying "Amen" at every paragraph. Once, I even broke down and started to praise God as I sat on my bed, clenching this wonderful book. Truly moved, I've decided to wait on God until he sends the right person in my life, because I believe that I will know when that special man walks into my life. There won't be any drama---no "baby, the divorce is almost final" or "I'm almost out of a relationship", or "I have to see my ex because that's the only way I will get to see my kids." Oh no!!! The man who's missing me (as a fragment of his rib) will come ready, willing, able, and God-fearing. Ladies, get this book and get serious about your body (God's temple). Michelle, keep blessing us as the Lord continues to bless you.

I honestly thought I would be reading a stuffy, moralistic "close-your-legs-avert-the-eyes" book that would talk down to me and detail the ways I was destined to burn in hell, but Michele writes like the experienced, loving older sister who's been there and done that, and she condemns no one. Her "principles," which basically explain the biblical and common sense that we lost sight of in "modern" times, do nothing less than honor the woman and seek to put her in her rightful place: the apple of the man's eye, the queen on her throne next to the king. I would heartily recommend any woman who's healing her heart and seeking a loving, christian-based relationship to buy this book, follow her advice and watch the brothers come RUNNING!! I cannot wait to get ahold of her next one and learn even more. WE are the queens to be pursued and treasured, and God designed it that way, she tells us....and how can you not be down with that???

From the time I started reading this book to the time I finished, my attention was "arrested" by the power of the Holy Spirit/Anointing that rests on this author's work.

The book, "Secrets of An Irresistible Woman", deals with timeless Principles that Christian women (single and married) should adhere to. One major point of interest for me was that she consistently used scripture to back-up each given Principle.

I purchased this book unwittingly, as I'd never heard of the

author . . . the title sounded interesting so I ordered it and hoped for the best. The book said "amen" to truths God has whispered to me over the years for instance, "The responsibility of the man is to love the woman; our response is submission" (Ephesians 5:22-33). This is so important because so many Christian women (myself included), have jumped headlong into relationships at the slightest bit of expressed interest from men to our own destruction. Men will pursue what they want; after all, that's their job . . . "He who finds a wife . . ."

Ms. McKinney Hammond provides practical insight and suggestions along with a detailed Study that corresponds to each chapter of the book which I found particularly helpful. This book is an easy read . . . she speaks strictly sister-to-sister; as I read, I began to feel as if we were engaged in a conversation.

This book is on my Christmas Gift List for all my single (and one of my married) friends.

Single Christian Woman, you owe it to yourself to read this book! God Bless you!

What makes a woman so ....you know....womanly. What makes her attract every man, woman, child and animal within ten miles? Michelle McKinney Hammond strikes again. To me, this book was what showed me how to plant positive seeds in my character. It's like going to a beauty parlor for the Spirit. There is a study guide in the back. I highly recommend that you keep a journal. The questions really make you evaluate who you are. It also showed me harmful cycles of behavior and reviled hidden fears that I had. The principles are great. Michelle stayed true to her "in your face" manor. It's so nice to have someone be so straightforward in her message. This book is a great gift to any woman who wants to be known for who she was made to be and not everything she has ever done.

A very good friend told me to read this book. At first I couldn't get past the title "Secrets of an Irresistible Woman". I said sure, okay what secrets could there be and why should I care? It's not like I need a man or need help getting one. But I read it anyway. Girl! I read the whole book in 4 hours! It was that interesting.

This book is by far the best self-help, self-love book I ever read. It has given me a totally new perspective on love, romance, men and self respect.

I recommend all women regardless of age, religious or non-relious backgrounds read this book. It's easy to read and understand and the author tells it like it is. She's funny, honest and gives you the truth. It's up to the reader to decide if she can deal with that or keep living with herself.

This book is for any woman who has been poorly loved, cheated on, mistreated, beaten, disrespected and rejected. All of us have been this woman at some point in our lives.

It's truly worthy of a second read! I plan to purchase this one for my girlfriends and after you read it ... hopefully you too will pass it on.

I have read many(!) books on godly relationships and this is by far one in the top five, if not top three. The book is divided into 12 chapters, and each chapter corresponds to a different principle that a godly woman, whether married or singleton can learn and benefit from. One of the main themes of this book is that you are to act what you are, a woman of purpose who knows that her fulfillment can only come from her heavenly Daddy and not to become sidetracked because we as godly women are to have high standards for the men in our lives. I also VERY highly recommend A Jewel in His Crown by Priscilla Evans Shirer for more great stuff on a woman's identity in Christ and When God Writes Your Love Story by Eric and Leslie Ludy for more on godly relationships

This book helped me so much that I can't even begin to put it in the right words....but I'm going to try. First, it's bible based. But, don't get scared off by that. You do NOT have to BE a Christian to get a LOT out of this book. It will uplift you SO much by showing you just how important you are, what you deserve as a woman, things you should and should not accept from men and how you should and should not be treated.....what YOU should accept. This is a wonderful book for EVERY woman....married, single, dating, not dating.....EVERY woman. I got it from the library, but then bought it here because I refer back to it OFTEN and have SO many Post-It notes marking pages and LOTS of highlights in this book. GREAT book for ALL women.
