5.0 out of 5 stars Please read this book if you have questions but no answers, June 4, 2000

By	S.Walsh (St. Louis, MO) - See all my reviews

This book tells it like it is. Michelle writes very basic and down to earth. My 16 year old sister loved this book as much as I did. It came at the right time for her as she is in a relationship that is heading toward a sexual nature that she is not comfortable with. I have been there too. I am a Christian but have been putting my wants for a husband before God and got burned. I am 24 years old and had a very serious relationship for 3 years to a man that I should never have been involved with. This book helped me to see that and helped me to decide what to do with this relationship. It wasn't easy but life never is. I recommend this book to anyone is not happy in their singlehood or in a realtionship that they are not sure of. Please read all of Michelle's books. She makes it very plain how a single, Christian woman should be and how she should conduct her life so she that she will be truly happy.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Perfect How to wait manual!, June 1, 2002

By	Tawana Hawkins (Akron, Ohio USA) - See all my reviews

I've had friends who've read her other books. I was happy in my singleness, finding my purpose and being busy in church. I was in a group and everyone seemed to believe I would be the first one in the group to remarry. I saw this book on the shelf and thought, "why not?" Excellent, excellent, excellent. The only thing I need to concern myself with is continuing to be about the father's business and fulfilling the purpose he created me for. In other words, redeeming the time. I don't have to look because "he that findeth a wife findeth a good thing." I have to let God be God and when he feels like its time and I'm where I need to be in him, he will work out the details. All I have to do is be who I need to be in him. Practical, insightful, comical are just a few of the words that come to mind when I think about the information she shares in this book. Be anxious for nothing my sisters in Christ!! If God has placed the desire inside of you for a mate, then regardless of how bleak the statistics might be, he has someone special set aside just for you. Wait and again I say wait. You can't afford to do anything else and be in the will of God.

5.0 out of 5 stars YOU MUST ORDER THIS BOOK IF YOU'RE A SINGLE FEMALE!!, October 31, 1999

By A Customer

I ordered this book sight unseen...based only on the customer comments that I read. That must have been the Lord's handiwork, because let me tell you...I read it cover to cover and, Michelle, you were writing directly to me!! Do you know that I actually read this book with a highlighter in my hand? I'm a 29 year old single female and I know how hard it is to feel uncoupled in a world of couples. Now, I see it as a blessing from God...He does have my match prepared for me. Thank you, Michelle, for helping me to prepare myself for His gift. Praise the Lord, and God Bless You! I wish I knew where to write you personally. I feel like you're one of my girlfriends!! Single females of the world...don't be a fool. Buy this book! Thank you, Amazon.com, for a great site and for delivering my book to my doorstep in 2 days! Now, my highlighter and I are off to read "Secrets of an Irresistable Woman" : )
