A Set Apart MUST Read, August 27, 2008
This review is from: Set-Apart Femininity: God's Sacred Intent for Every Young Woman (Paperback)
Set Apart Femininity is just like what Leslie Ludy beckons young women to become: a lily among thorns. Even in today's Christian culture, few books touch the issue of dying to self in order to earnestly seek one single thing, a passionate love relationship with Jesus Himself. This book is a treasure and a beacon of light within the shallows of mediocrity and complacency. It shines forth the truth of the Gospel and the lifestyle Jesus calls us to. Leslie Ludy, with her poetic and stirring prose, blazingly calls young women to the indwelling life of Christ - not what you can do or perform but what He can do in and through you! It is about a life completely given over to the King of kings and the Lord of lords; for Him to spill and spend your life as He chooses.
As a man whose heart is set on Jesus, Set Apart Femininity captures the essence and beauty of what I deeply desire for my future wife to be. Yet this book was both inspiring and convicting to me personally as well. Though the book was written specifically to young women, men can glean a lot about the character of Christ and what we as believers (both male and female) are called to be. This book is an encouragement to stand in the face of culture, stand for purity and truth, and allow Christ to live His spotless life through us.
Like a diamond hidden within the rocks, Set Apart Femininity is a priceless treasure in book form. You will not only want to read it more than once but will be compelled to share it with everyone you know. This is no doubt Leslie Ludy's finest book to date, which I am highly recommending to everyone I know. Find the true treasure, not in yourself, but in Him.

This book is not for the "lukewarm" Christian women!, August 26, 2008
This review is from: Set-Apart Femininity: God's Sacred Intent for Every Young Woman (Paperback)
Set-Apart Femininity: God's Sacred Intent for Every Young Woman Leslie Ludy's new book Set-Apart Femininity is not for "lukewarm" Christian women or for the faint at heart.
Having been reading Eric and Leslie Ludy's books for the last four and a half years, I can say, Leslie has a much more fired up tone compared to Authentic Beauty. In a way, Set-Apart is a sequel of sorts to Authentic in the fact that Leslie still talks about Godly women and how to be a woman glorifying Jesus Christ.
However, in this book, she takes it deeper and turns it up a notch! She is asking women everywhere to truly make Jesus Christ the main priority in their lives. She is asking us to make Jesus our heavenly Prince and give him the rightful authority over our lives that he deserves and to seek not only physical purity, but mental and spiritual purity as well. She is asking women to truly and sincerely seek God with all of our hearts, minds, bodies, and souls so we can glorify Him and live our lives to the fullest.
If you are ready to separate yourself from the world and live a set-apart life for Christ than this book is for you!
On a more personal note, this book was very moving for me, and I highly recommend it to any woman, young or old, who wants to surrender the control over their lives and hand the reins over to Christ.

Veritas, September 17, 2008
This review is from: Set-Apart Femininity: God's Sacred Intent for Every Young Woman (Paperback)
Just as Eric hit the nail on the head with The Bravehearted Gospel, so Leslie hits the nail on the head with Set Apart Feminity!
This book is truly veritas - TRUTH! It is not glossed over, but neither is it harsh or judgemental. It is the loving presentation of the true Gospel! It is not a comfortable message, but it is a desperately needed one!
This book clearly demonstrates the need to be set apart from this world, and to shake off the chains of worldliness. Most Christians don't even realize that they are chained - this book illuminates that ignorance and stresses the importance of shaking off those chains.
Like Bravehearted Gospel, Set Apart Feminity is a call to the Army of God to rise up and battle the evil of this world - to place a fire in those who are lukewarm and get them RED HOT for God's Love, Word, Power, and Mission!
