This book is based on what Elizabeth George calls "10 essentials for Godly living" taken from the list of things the older women are to teach the younger women in Titus 2. She reminds us that Titus 2 tells us we are to be doing things - if we are older women, we are to be practicing these things and teaching them to younger women. If we are younger women, we are to be learning and practicing these things. She points out that we will always be in both categories. There will always be older women to learn from, and there will always be younger women we can help and teach. Two chapters are devoted to each "essential." The first is about the what and why, and also the who and where. What is this goodness, for example, that we are called to? Why are we called to this? To whom should we show goodness? The second chapter is the application of the first - the how. Mrs. George is full of suggestions and lists and Scripture verses to help implement each "essential." The book is really an older woman's effort to teach younger women the things listed in Titus 2, which is exactly what is commanded inthe passage!

I have an older girlfriend who invested an incredible three years of her life mentoring me. She was a firm believer in passing the legacy of faith onto the next generation of women. In her book "A Woman's High Calling" Elizabeth George covers the topic of mentoring women. The book is beautifully written in Elizabeth's one on one style of conversation. She guides the reader through the "10 Essentials for Godly Living." There is a study guide which you can purchase separately to use for individual or group study. This is an excellant resource for those women who feel led to mentor the next generation of women.

This is a great book of very high quality and is a much better price than everywhere else. It was much better than expected.

This book is great! Its is exactly what I was looking for. For all of those who believe being a wife and mother should come with a spiritual training manual, this book is for you!

Ideas and inspiration from my home to yours!

Every WOMEN needs to read this, especially if you want to grow in Christ. I love Elizabeth George! My ladies bible study did this two years ago and still talk about this bible study and how great it is!!! By far the best book for a woman's library!

This is an amazing spiritual book on A Woman's High Calling: 10 Essentials for Godly Living. This is an inspiring book that opened my eyes to the essentials of Godly living from Elizabeth George's perspective. My eyes have been opened to so many facets/areas of my life with regard to becoming a better person, wife and mother the way God would have me to be. My relationships with family and friends has gone to another level as I allow myself to be tranformed by God. Her practical/true stories about her life and dealings with other Christians is very rewarding to read.

I have used this book in mentoring a younger woman & am currently using is as a basis for a Sunday School class. It is, I believe, the most thorough & practical handling of this passage that I have come across. Our women are thoroughly enjoying the group discussion prompted by Elizabeth George's topics coming from Titus 2:3-5.

This is one of the best books I have ever read! It's a must read for all Christian women.
