Summary: A Great Book For Women, And Men As Well!
Review: I just finished reading this book about 5 minutes ago and, even though it is aimed at women, men should read it too. Why? Because it can give men a better understanding on women's attitudes, perspectives, moods, and over all, spiritual warfare. It is a well written book and is annointed by the Holy Spirit of God. I recommend this book for women which are still bound by the past and cannot see beyond today. This book will encourage you to be the woman God wants you to be. It is great for counselors, widows, single women, and women which have been sexually raped and molested. I am planning to buy two copies of this book to give to two wonderful people I know that can get something good out of it. Buy it and read it, you won't be disappointed. Woman, Thou Art Loose!

Summary: WOW - Thank you T D Jakes
Review: I just recently learned about this book after visting T D Jakes' website. I am blessed to only live a few minutes from Bishop Jakes' church in Dallas, TX. I have been wanting to attend his church but I didn't know why I had such a strong feelings about T D Jakes until now. I couldn't even get past the first chapter without bursting into tears! I felt like this message was just for me. I have been struggling for years with the secrets that I thought were just unique to me and had just gotten use to things being the way they were. I didn't know they could be any other way. When I was growing up and things were "bad" I always felt like I had someone watching over me because things never got as bad as they could have been. I now realized that was God keeping me safe. I am safe. God kept me safe and is now telling me it's time to let go. EVERY FEMALE NEEDS TO HEAR THIS MESSAGE. God bless Bishop T D Jakes

Summary: This Is Just a Story
Review: I know this is just a book, but somewhere there is a real-life Cassey, Reggie, and a Michelle. This book was very emotional to me because there is some truth behind this. Cassey needed her a$$ kicked. Reggie needed to be shot down. Michelle needed a mother to tell her that she is somebody and she is worth something. I have never been molested by my mother's boyfriend(s) because she never had one to bring around. Her life was all about me, and she didn't want to bring me around different men. Being a mother myself of a boy and a girl, and another on the way, I couldn't understand why Cassey could just brush this under the rug like that. I know from being around other females and talking to them and knowing other social workers who work with families like that, these things are common -- the molesting and the mothers taking the boyfriend side because they don't want to face it and/or the child is scared to tell anything. Statistics state that 1 in 3 females are or have been molested in some time in there lives. It amounts to 33% according to my calculations, but it's way too many and I think it goes higher than that. Child molestation is too taboo, and this goes across races, socioeconomic statuses, religions, etc. We need to talk more to our children, and listen to what they are saying no matter how bizzar it is because it may some hidden truth behind it. As a mother, a single one at that, rather be lonely and have my children love me and feel protected rather than having some sicko as a man molesting my babies. I will date, but if my kids don't like him -- HE'S GONE! In the book, Cassey was just as responsible as Reggie was in the lost innocence of Michelle. If I ever knew a real-life Cassey, a mother like the one in the book, there would be no hestitation in me kicking her behind! In the book, Cassey's bestfriend Twana, was gooooooooooooooooooooooooood!

T. D. Jakes sent little hidden messeges in the book. Well, they weren't hidden inconspicuously, but they were there. For example, when he is in the cell with Michelle when she killed Reggie and when Michelle was recalling scenes from the revivals, his words hit home, which was another reason why I got so emotional with this book. When he stated something like, "where you have been doesn't define where you are going," he hit it right on the nail. I said, "amen" to that. I am not a "Holier-than-thou" person, but I do believe that everyone you meet and everything you have went through serves a purpose and it makes you who you are today. I refuse to let everything I have ever went through go in vain. You are not promised anything and you may not have a choice in certain matters, but I do know this; you do have two choices in life. Whatever you are going through, you can either just sit there and do nothing or die trying to change it. At least you would be doing something.

This was a well-written book for everyone to read, and the messeges that J. D. Jakes send can be understood by anyone. I would recommend this book to anyone -- whether or not you are Christian and you really don't have to be. However, his words will make you think, and it may bring up some painful memories. Or, you may be able to confirm what he has said. EXCELLENT WORK!

Summary: What A Healing That Has Taken Place
Review: I often asked the question, how could a man have such an understanding and so much insight to what many women have or may currently be experiencing in their lives. This book is a must read for all women of any race and culture, because it ministers to the unresolved issues, hidden scars, offenses and to the depths of our souls. This is a starting process to bring up and out all those old things to allow them to pass away.

Summary: Woman Thou Art Loosed!
Review: I only wish I would have purchased this book three years ago! This book was so amazing and touched every area of my life that needed to be blessed at the time of reading. You can not read the book only once, you will read it again and again. I thank the Lord for T.D. Jakes.

Summary: Woman, thou are noosed!
Review: I see that there are no "negative" reviews regarding this garbage, so let me be the first.

T.D Jakes is still stuck in the bedroom in regards to women. We are "recievers" because we are like sockets apparently. UH? What is that??? And WHERE in the Bible does he get that?
Basically there is a lot of extra Biblical crap here that has no place in the Christian community.

Secondly, this man is NOT an orthodox Christian, in the sense that he does not believe in the Trinity. So..why is this book being sold at Christian bookstores?

The only positive thing that I can take away from this book is that at least someone is TALKING about female sexual abuse. I most definitely DO NOT agree with his paternalistic attitude regarding women, but its a START I guess. But frankly, this kind of paternalism he epouses, in my opinion, only makes the problem worse BECAUSE when you still say that MALES RULE, well, they get to do whatever they want with their women.
so, I would most definitively LEAVE this one alone.

Summary: Woman, Thou Art Loosed : Healing the Wounds of the Past
Review: In this book, T. D. Jakes speaks to every woman and more especially those who are dealing with the depressing results of abuse (physical, emotional, verbal and spiritual) and battery. I recommend this book to all women, for as he notes, many women will not admit to have ever "been there". This book will help you to restore your spiritual feet and a positive self-image!

Summary: There Is Hope
Review: Mr. Jakes gave me hope of healing. When, he commented on the single woman being extra-special to God---it was as though he was speaking to my heart! Praise God, my wounds of the past can be healed.

Summary: An Absolute Must for Every Woman!
Review: No woman should miss out on the wonderful messages the Holy Spirit has for their healing and encouragement. Bishop Jakes certainly ministers to hurting woman through the power of the Holy Spirit in this book. Most women that read it feel that God is speaking directly to them--and He is! The Love and Mercy of God are evident in each and every word delivered by Bishop Jakes in this vital spiritual work. The wounds are exposed, "oil" is applied by the minsitry of God's love, and healing ultimately takes place. God is a good God and through this book, I truly realized how special women are to Him. Although society does not always see women in a positive light, this book will be a refreshing and liberating message to women all over the world, confirming to us that we are precious to God and He cares about how we feel. Don't miss this book, it will set you free!
