A must read for all woman. 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

Having read Stephen Arterburn's book, Every Man's Battle, I thought I would read this book to see what I could learn from it.

As for the men, you will probably not learn anything more out of this book if you have already ready Every Man's Battle. And for women, all I can say is wow, all women should be given this book at a young age to read.

This book can help one understand the what and why's of what is happening when it comes to sexual and emotional fulfillment in relationships, and what can be done to deal with it.

Yes, I somewhat agree with the other reviewers that complain about the book not talking enough about woman who have as strong a sex drive as men, but I don't think it was right for them to rate this book so low for that one point.

I highly recommend all woman buy it, and also make sure your Church library has one.

Editorial Review:

When does an affair begin? Not with the first forbidden touch…but with the first forbidden thought. Unexpectedly, you find yourself enjoying a powerful emotional bond with another man. You feel like you matter to someone again. And the door you thought was locked so firmly–the door to sexual infidelity–is suddenly ajar.

The only way women can survive the intense struggle for sexual integrity is by guarding not just your body, but your mind and heart as well. Every Woman’s Battle can help you learn to do that. Using real-life stories and examples from her own struggle, Shannon Ethridge helps women like you–whether married, engaged, or planning to marry someday.

Biblical, inspiring, and fun to read! 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

After reading quite a few books on biblical femininity, Feminine Appeal is the best I have ever encountered. Mahaney faithfully explained what real Godly womanhood is and supported every major point with multiple, soundly-interpreted Words of God. As opposed to some other books that incorporates the cultural image of housewives, Mahaney actually focused on the Truth, and not on her own convictions. I highly recommend this book for women who wishes to grow in Godliness.

Practical wisdom from Scripture 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

This book was very helpful at fleshing out Titus 2. The only thing I regretted was that it wasn't longer! It was very practical and my husband even noticed positive changes in our marriage. Highly recommended. Would make a great gift for a bride-to-be...I sure wish I had read it before I was married - it would have gotten me on a good start from the beginning.

Editorial Review:

In this book of instruction for wives and mothers, Carolyn Mahaney explores seven feminine virtues given in Titus 2 that have transformed her life and the lives of countless other women. Expanded edition with study questions.

Jesus as the Model of Leadership 3 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

Ken Blanchard's book, Lead Like Jesus, was like a good meal to me: a meat, two vegetables, satisfying but not noteworthy. Certainly there is nothing particularly harmful in the book (it is not like fast-food), but the "a-ha" moments were virtually non-existent for me. Now this is not necessarily a bad thing. In a world where much Christian literature is positively harmful for its lack of Scriptural faithfulness, a solid book like this that reminds us of core values is worth our attention.

Lead Like Jesus 5 out of 5 stars.

Great book that is easy to read and well organized. Deals with the fundementals such as motive and perspective, and is very effective.

Good incorporation of scriptural basis for leading the right way 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

The servant leader has always been the only approach that makes sense, and Ken Blanchard wrote many books about this before he got saved. Now, he understands the ultimate model for his philosophy - Jesus Christ - and has become an effective advocate for Jesus' modeling of servant leadership. I am going to teach from this book beginning in September 2008, and I believe my students will benefit immensely from the material here.

Editorial Review:

Are you tired of arguing with your spouse over the same old issues? Do you dream of a marriage with less conflict and more intimacy? Are you struggling under a load of resentment?

The key to creating a deeper bond in your marriage
may lie buried in your childhood.

Your early life experiences create an “intimacy imprint”–an underlying blueprint that shapes your behavior, beliefs, and expectations of all future relationships, especially your marriage. In How We Love, relationship experts Milan and Kay Yerkovich help you pinpoint the reason your marriage is struggling–and they reveal exactly what you can do about it.

Drawing on the powerful tool of attachment theory, the Yerkoviches identify four types of injured imprints that combine in marriage to trap couples in a repetitive dance of pain. As you discover how your relationship has been guided by these imprints, you’ll gain the insights you need to stop stepping on each other’s toes and instead allow yourselves to be swept along by the music of a richer, deeper relationship.

Another book with the great teaching of Joyce Myers, to put God in the center of your life and how to keep him there. Very good book..after i read it, gave it as a gift to friend.

Editorial Review:

“Lord, Whatever It Takes, Make Me Like You!”

You long to serve God with grace and strength, to reflect Christ in every word and action. Yet you find yourself continually struggling to bring that vision to life in your daily walk.

At our very core, every one of us is a “twisted sister” within whom the flesh and spirit battle constantly for control. We are afflicted with spiritual schizophrenia, the disconnect between our “good girl” desire to put Jesus first and our “bad girl” realities that crowd our thoughts and push him out of the way.

In this life-changing book, Joanna Weaver, author of the perennial bestseller, Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World, directs your gaze past your own shortcomings to the God who stands ready, willing, and able to make a new woman out of you. She equips you with biblical insights and practical tools to partner with Christ, inviting him into the hidden places of your soul and giving him full permission to redeem and renovate.

Drawing on the stories of biblical Marys and others whose experience with God transformed their lives, Joanna shows how you can find the hope, healing, wholeness, and joy your heart longs for. Having a Mary Spirit will launch you toward lasting personal transformation–soul-deep change that results in a complete makeover, from the inside out.

**Includes a 12-week Bible study for both individual reflection and group discussion**

Editorial Review:

With the trademark wisdom, humor, and honesty that made Anne Lamott's book on faith, Traveling Mercies, a runaway bestseller, Plan B: Further Thoughts on Faith is a spiritual antidote to anxiety and despair in increasingly fraught times.

The world is a more dangerous place than it was when Lamott's Traveling Mercies was published five years ago. Terrorism and war have become the new normal; environmental devastation looms even closer. And there are personal demands on Lamott's faith as well: turning fifty; her mother's Alzheimer's; her son's adolescence; and the passing of friends and time.

Fortunately for those of us who are anxious and scared about the state of the world, whose parents are also aging and dying, whose children are growing harder to recognize as they become teenagers, Plan B offers hope in the midst of despair. It shares with us Lamott's ability to comfort, and to make us laugh despite the grim realities.

Anne Lamott is one of our most beloved writers, and Plan B is a book more necessary now than ever. It will prove to be further evidence that, as The Christian Science Monitor has written, "Everybody loves Anne Lamott."

7 Things He'll Never Tell You: But You Need to Know 5 out of 5 stars.

Excellent read! Written in a humorous vein, very entertaining. I learned a great deal about this species of men and it's been quite helpful in dealing with my own.

I WANT MY MONEY BACK 1 out of 5 stars.
0 of 3 people found this review helpful.

This book is the most blatant example of sexism I have ever read. Basically, Leman believes that women can help their marriages by being submissives who allow their husbands to oggle women, never point out any wrongdoings and NEVER turn down their husbands want and desires. Everything from "handing over the remote" and letting them faulter in family obligations is suggested.If marriage is a 50/50 partnership, Leman hasn't got the memo. I feel sorry for his wife and can't believe he will pass these horrible ideals onto his children. This man has four daughters! Please save your money and buy a book that actually believes that it is o.k. not to be in the mood for sex once in a while and that if your husband gropes you, you have the right to say no if you feel like it. I am actually pulling lines from the book! I need a refund!!!

Editorial Review:

Kevin Leman wants you to know that men are less complicated than you give them credit for. At the core of men, you'll find a sensitive, emotional being that needs to feel loved, respected and needed. Men are very protective of their core. It's this protective behavior that keeps men from openly sharing their feelings with women. But, Kevin Leman knows that the more you understand and are sensitive to the fears, anxieties, and insecurities that make the men in your life behave the way they do, the stronger your relationships will be.

Choosing the High Road 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

Susie gives her readers a fresh glimpse at the heart of Jesus for us as women and the amazing privilege we have been given to follow Him on the higher road. Addressing each of the areas that women commonly face, she shows us how to draw on the power of Christ and choose the uncommon response of love. This book is for any woman who wants to experience the much more that God promises; the life for which we were created and have been called.

A challenging, thought-provoking book 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

This is an excellent book for any woman who desires a closer walk with God. Susie Larson challenges your thinking and your actions in every chapter. It would be a wonderful book to use as a Woman's Bible Study too. I was deeply challenged to become an uncomman woman.

"We must not forget the basin." 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

In a time when character assassination in the home, work place or church seems acceptable, this is a must read book. Whether you're the victim or the assassinator, Susie eloquently reminds us that "we must not forget the basin (pg.115)." To visualize Jesus-The Son of God, gently scrubbing the filth and dirt off of the feet of others as an act of unconditional love is gripping when you stop and paint the picture in your mind. We are challenged not be party to shredding the character of others be it trite or in depth. And if we are on the receiving end of being verbally abused, we are challenged to do the unthinkable--take the bowl of water and the towel and tenderly wash the feet of the accusers in return. That's what makes an "Uncommon Woman."
