5.0 out of 5 stars Disciplines of the Beautiful Woman by Anne Ortlund, November 25, 1997

By A Customer

Disciplines of the Beautiful Woman is a well-written, down-to-earth approach to living the life of a "Proverbs 31" woman. Ortlund's style is very personal, leaving you feeing as if you've been talking to an old friend. She shares many anecdotes from her life and ministry, helping the reader to relate to her as a real person living a real life. Ortlund offers sound, useful advice in a caring, accepting manner. Her general education as well as her strong knowledge of the Bible and God's teachings is very evident. Ortlund also addresses physical beauty and its proper place in your life, as well as time-saving techniques for clothes shopping. In particular, her notebook system is perhaps the best plan for keeping track of your schedule and family responsibilities as well as your Bible and other studies. Disciplines of the Beautiful Woman is a blessing when our materialistic culture starts to skew your priorities, and one of the most inspirational books I have ever read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspirational, August 7, 1998

By A Customer

This is a book that has literally changed the way I want to live. The author writes as if she is a friend, and shares from her own life. The book comments on many different aspects of life including organising your home and your private life - right down to your wardrobe! She focuses on the idea of "Eliminate and concentrate" and wants every woman to live a God centred and glorifying life. Definitely worth reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ahead of Her Time!, September 30, 1999

By	[e-mail] (Nashville, TN) - See all my reviews

Anne invented the "Daytimer" before women were carrying them, knew instinctively that in a busy woman's life "Eliminate and Concentrate" is always the key, and totally changed my life with her personal and spiritual book. She manages the roles of mother and best friend all rolled into one and challenges us gently into living deliberately rather than haphazardly. I am so glad it is back in print! I recommend it everywhere I go.
