5.0 out of 5 stars Changed My Life, June 18, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: A Woman After God's Own Heart® (Paperback)

I was led to this book at the store during a time of confusion and exasperation with my relationship with my husband and life in general. A Woman After God's Own Heart changed my life because it put the focus of my efforts and energy in a different place. Suddenly I wasn't living for myself, or insisting on equality in my marriage at all times. I surrendered my resentment, surrendered my control to God. This book put everything in perspective and since I read it in 1998, I have been a very different wife, mother, neighbor and woman. Thank you and God Bless you ............

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Reading For Every Christian Woman, September 13, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: A Woman After God's Own Heart® (Paperback)

This book had a great impact on my life, especially as a wife and mother. Many times, the things she advocated made me resentful, because they demand that I die to my own will, and treat people the way GOD wants me to treat them, whether they deserve it or not! I loved her way of prioritizing things, reminding us that our husbands and children come before anyone else, and that our families should never doubt how important they are to us. Walking in God's path isn't easy, and it is a relief to hear an author encourage us to take the hard way, instead of the easy way!

5.0 out of 5 stars A book overflowing with love and devotion, May 13, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: A Woman After God's Own Heart® (Paperback)

I received this book as a gift at my bridal shower. And what a gift it has been! This book taught me what it is to have a Christ-centered marriage. As I read, I began to put away all the childish and wordly ideas I had about marriage and being a wife. It really became clear as to what marriage should be. I have been married for 2 years and still refer to it.

As there is more to being a Godly woman than being a good wife, there is more to this book: knowing and loving God, being an affectionate, prayerful mother, creating a loving home, and much more. I have given this book to many of my friends as they prepared for marriage. We all think it's wonderful. You will, too!
