Rating: Summary: Godly Perspective on Men Afraid of Commitment Review: I found this book helpful especially after being left by my boyfriend, with little explanation, at the height of intimacy between us. The book touched on the fear and anxiety of men towards commitment and that I should just "let him go". Let go and let God. If he returns, he must do so on his own. If he is the man for me, God is working on him while we're apart. In the meantime, even if he's not "the one", I am to "get a life".
Rating: Summary: I thought Michelle had been reading my mail, it hit home. Review: I have enjoyed this book very much. I have bought so many of this copy and give out that I have lost count. The Lord has really talked to me through this book. Michelle is one that really listens to what God says to her. You are GREAT....Michelle, God Bless You in every way..
Rating: Summary: "An Eye-Opening Guide To Waiting for Your God Sent Mate" Review: I have never been so positively inspired by any other book in my life! Michelle McKinney-Hammond hits the nail on the head when she references the Bible and how God wants us all to be happy and full of joy, peace, and love. She stresses how important it is to be "ready"-spiritually, mentally, and financially- when God sends your husband to you. This is my new guide on how to be patient and how to prepare myself for the love of my life. I thank you Michelle. Please keep sharing the Word and your faith..it means so much to so many!
Rating: Summary: NO Sugar Coating! Review: I love the way the author doesn't sugar coat anything! She tells you like it is! I like that! Many times I need someone to yell in my face so I'll hear! Great advice from a virtuous woman!
Rating: Summary: Sigh...! Review: I must address one thing I'm encountering in virtually all single books written by women that peeves me to no end. I'm so tired of women telling other women that when it comes to sex, it's the WOMAN who's soley responsible for maintaining sexual purity. That's why I was initially relieved when this author stated on pg. 33 -it's a myth that men can't control their sexual urges- only to be disappointed when on pg. 37 she contradicted herself and said- it's the WOMAN who's responsible since it's built in the "spirit of the man" to sexually test us!! Sigh! Is it no wonder that men continue to be sexually active even Christian men when society and Christian women not only refuse to hold them accountable but absorb all the blame for any sexual indiscretion?? How convenient for the guy! But what does the Bible say? It says MEN AND women should refrain from sexual activity until marriage. Nowhere does it say- women should refrain and yeah, men should too but...(tack on any excuse). No, I don't think so. The marriage bed should be kept pure. It is NOT kept pure when it's only the WOMAN that has kept herself pure.

Rating: Summary: YOU MUST ORDER THIS BOOK IF YOU'RE A SINGLE FEMALE!! Review: I ordered this book sight unseen...based only on the customer comments that I read. That must have been the Lord's handiwork, because let me tell you...I read it cover to cover and, Michelle, you were writing directly to me!! Do you know that I actually read this book with a highlighter in my hand? I'm a 29 year old single female and I know how hard it is to feel uncoupled in a world of couples. Now, I see it as a blessing from God...He does have my match prepared for me. Thank you, Michelle, for helping me to prepare myself for His gift. Praise the Lord, and God Bless You! I wish I knew where to write you personally. I feel like you're one of my girlfriends!! Single females of the world...don't be a fool. Buy this book! Thank you, Amazon.com, for a great site and for delivering my book to my doorstep in 2 days! Now, my highlighter and I are off to read "Secrets of an Irresistable Woman" : )
Rating: Summary: An awesome read for waiting single females Review: I read this book about four years ago, and then re-read it a couple of years after that. I absolutely think it was wonderful, and I, too, feel as though this was meant for me. There are so many Christian women who see having a husband as a goal to achieve, they give little thought to whether they are preparing themselves and waiting for the right man to come along. Michelle's words inspired me to stop worrying about when this will happen, and concentrate on what I can do to make myself happy now....and put myself in the position of being a happier wife. After all, we attract to us what we are. Although younger women may feel put off by some of her writing, I would recommend this book to any woman (Christian or otherwise) who is putting her life on hold (consciously or unconsciously) until her mate comes along. Come on, girl prepare yourself. (Used the plan and happily engaged.)
Rating: Summary: EXCELLENT Review: I read this book in 1998;...loved it;....like other readers,I thought this book would be of interest to younger readers only, ages 18 to 25 or 30,...but at 49 at the time of reading, I found it relevant and thought-provoking. Recommend that single females of all ages read it. Loved the bit about "not being a store sample, to be tried out and return." BRAVO and Praise God!
Rating: Summary: Excellent! Review: I stumbled across this book at a time when I really needed a friend to talk to who would understand my struggles with living single and living a christian life. Reading her book was like talking to my best friend who knew all my innermost secrets. Ms. Hammond's godly wisdom is awesome! I am finding peace and joy living single and sold out for Christ! And when I find myself struggling and becoming impatient, I pick up the book and read it again! Her biblically based advice and the study guides for each chapter have helped me to learn to value myself and see myself the way God sees and values me. I will continue to read God's word and everything Michelle McKinney Hammond writes! I encourage all women, single and married, to read this book!
