I Kissed a Lot of Frogs: But the Prince Hasn't Come

Summary: Get a copy!
Review: I Kissed a Lot of Frogs but the Prince Hasn't Come is one of the best books I've read for single women. The author shares real life stories that all women can relate to. She conveys her own struggles of singleness but also calls the reader to live life with a passion regardless of marital status. Singles and those who minister to/with singles can benefit from the insights in this book. There are waiting periods in everyone's life. How great to know life is worth living because the True Prince is coming- Jesus Christ! I plan to buy several copies for friends and for my church library.

Summary: Outstanding!
Review: I Kissed A Lot Of Frogs: But the Prince Hasn't Come completely changed my perception of my own singleness. I found myself in every chapter of the book. Some parts made me laugh while others brought me to tears. I could relate to every disappointment, every hurt, and every doubt. Being a single
woman in my late 20's, I do often wonder what is wrong with me or why God hasn't sent me a husband, as I am sure many other single women often wonder. Growing up in a Christian home and church family, I have always been told that God will give you the desires of your heart if you just ask Him. Well,
my desire is to be a wife and mother, but I often feel very discouraged that God doesn't have the same plans for my life. After reading this book, I finally realize that it isn't about me at all; it is all about Him. I have been distracted by my wants/desires, and I have taken my focus off of Him. It is difficult to wait on the Lord, but after reading this book, I have decided to trust His timing and serve Him faithfully in my singleness. And as I do wait, although not always patiently, for my earthly prince to one day sweep me off of my feet (that is still my heart's desire), I anticipate even more the return of my Heavenly Prince who in all of His glory, will one day look into my eyes and say, "Well done my child."

Summary: A blessed book by a blessed author.
Review: I so loved reading this book. This is one of the few that I'm going to hang onto even after the last page has been read...I have a feeling it's one I'll be reading again (and again). While Kathleen Hardaway expresses the deep pain and anguish she has felt in the past about being single, in the latter chapters of the book she goes on to describe how she feels that God has blessed her with singleness (me too!). Her emotions are quite palpable, and if you really give yourself to the content of the book, you will find yourself crying and rejoicing right along with her, because so many of us have those same feelings, and she expresses them so well. I agree with one of the other reviewers who felt that Ms. Hardaway could have expanded this book to include proper responses to those snide and hurtful comments made by some. As a single mother, I also wish she would have touched more on the issues that I, and those like me, deal with (although what she did include was very helpful and encouraging). However, as it stands, this is a wonderful book, a very easy and possibly life-changing read. Thank you Kathleen!!
