Disciplines of the Beautiful Woman

Summary: Ahead of Her Time!
Review: 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.

Summary: Hate to give a bad review but this book really earned it!!
Review: Anne Ortlund seems like a wonderful Godly woman but a lot of the focus of this book is about getting the outside looking beautiful. I was looking for tips on how to be beautiful on the inside and she is telling me to cream my body each night so it's soft for my husband's touch. A lot of focus on being organized and keeping a clean house but not much on becoming beautiful inside.

Summary: Disciplines of the Beautiful Woman by Anne Ortlund
Review: 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.

Summary: There's is none like it!!!
Review: I read this book just before I got married, and again during my pregnancy, learning so much more each time that I've gone out and bought about twenty copies each time I heard a girlfriend struggling with discipline in herself and her home. This is not just a book, but a great and wonderful tool. Thank you Anne Ortlund!!!!

Summary: Wonderfully Beautiful
Review: Praise God for books like this! Anne Ortlund has wonderfully shared golden nuggets of truths for any, if not for all of the women of the world, especially to those of the family of God. Her teachings are very practical and very attainable with the help of God Who dwells in the hearts of those who believe in Him and in His word. Indeed, a beautiful woman is not only with a beautiful face and body, but most of all, she has the Lord Jesus Christ at the very center of her life. That, is God's kind of a beautiful woman!Thank you Anne for sharing you life in a book.God bless you!

Summary: Inspirational
Review: 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.

Review: Warning: If you are not a Bible-reading, born-again Christian you will find this book extremely difficult to read, let alone "grasp." It is the personal experiences of a woman whose life is devoted to teaching the Bible, and how she organizes her life to that end. The constant biblical references, citing chapter and verse several times on a page, cannot be ignored or skipped over. I tried to do just that and it was impossible. If you are a person who studies the Bible daily, belongs to a Bible study group, or wants to set up your own study group, and organize your entire life accordingly ...then there is no better book for you. But if you are just a poor slob who wants to learn how to discipline/organize your life, look elsewhere.
