review 1: I'm a wife and first time mother who recently left the workforce to be a stay-at-home mom. This book couldn't have presented itself at a better time in my life. This book touches on points about being a godly wife, the importance of investing in your children, and how God really sees his daughters. Although a lot of the material presented tends to lend itself to wives and moms, there are still a lot of good nuggets that are applicable to single women as well. For me, there were pros and cons of the structure of the book - it's a collection of essays written by different women of God. I like that they were presented in bite size ideas yet still gave me a lot to chew on. However, because it was several different women, the styles were different as well so the book didn't hav... moree a consistent flow for me and took me longer to read than I would have liked. All it all, it's packed with a lot of great, biblically sound information about what God originally intended for women.
review 2: We are reading this for our ladies' Bible study. The chapters are written by different Christian ladies, including Nancy Leigh DeMoss (who is the editor), Carolyn Mahaney, P. Bunny Wilson, Mary Kassian, and Barbara Hughes. It comes with study questions in the back, very helpful for a group of women to read it and discuss it together. We are doing two chapters per week, in an hour-and-a-half, which is pushing it for having a good discussion. One of the chapters we read today, "Pruned to Bloom," was a huge blessing to the women in our group...one lady was so encouraged by it she said it was the best thing she had ever read, next to her Bible, and she's in her early 70s! A great help for introducing women to understanding the sovereignty of God and the need for obedience to obtain maturity in our Christian life, as well as a strong case for biblical womanhood as opposed to egalitarianism. less
