Rating:  Summary: A Guy's Perspective Review: A little less than 6 months ago I had no idea why I felt God was leading me to read this book. Being a single guy I felt it was kind of "taboo". Today however, I look back and am speechless. God has used this book to radically transform my relationship with Him. I now understand what it means to have a hunger and passion for God. P. B. has helped me to see the heart of "true Christianity" - to seek God first above all things. His Love in Christ can fill even the deepest desire in your heart. Read this book! I pray God will use it in your life like He has in mine.
Rating:  Summary: Just wasn't right for me Review: Honestly, I really didn't like this book very much. Maybe it was just me, but I feel like I've read a lot of Christian singles books that have been better. I think a lot of my problem was that I didn't relate to the author at all. It seemed like she continued on and on about her husband and children and obviously as a single person that's doesn't connect with me. There were some very good parts of the book where I connected with what she was saying and very deeply with God, but I felt those moments were rare and buried amongst a lot of mundane things. If you haven't read it yet, you might like it, but I would recommend borrowing it from a friend rather than buying it.

Rating:  Summary: The Best Yet Review: I am an ordained minister of the gospel and this is the best book I have read yet on preparation for marriage. Theis book addresses issues that in most christian circles people are afraid to ask or seek help in. A applaude the author of this magnificient book that will definately assist women of God to know when their own "Knight in Shinning Armor" appears.
Rating:  Summary: God as a vending machine Review: I appreciate Mrs. Wilson listing the 5 major reasons for marital breakdown: communication, finances, sex, in-laws, friends and spiritual immaturity. I've read many books regarding relationships and this is the first book that I've read that covers these reasons. Mrs. Wilson explains that it is very important that we know WHO we are involving ourselves with in the courting process. It is much easier to break an engagement than to work on a doomed marriage. Mrs. Wilson emphasizes the fact that the husband is appointed head over the household. We must know we can trust the man we intend to marry with that position before we allow him to have it. If you are not able to submit to this man now, you will not want to when you are married, and once you are married, it is too late. God knows what and who we need. He will go beyond our requests if we allow Him to. Marriage is forever, why rush into something that may not be God's plan for you?

Rating:  Summary: A Great Read For ALL Ages of Women Looking For Men To Marry! Review: I bought & read this book.... This book was really wonderful to read and spend the 6 months without dating, even though it was hard to do at first, and then it got easier as time passed.... I liked this book so well that I passed it on to a young, female friend of mine after I finished it, and she likes it as well....:) I would highly reccomend this book to all young women who are looking to find "Mister Right", and don't know how to look for him....:) In fact, while I was reading this book, I actually MET MY "Mister Right," and now he and I are going out, and talking about the possiblity of getting married some time in the emmient future....:) I couldn't believe how good this book really is.... This book is EXCEPTIONALLY helpful for women looking to get married and don't know how to look for the man...:)
Rating:  Summary: A must- read for every Christian woman Review: I discovered this book a few years ago at the annual United Conference for Women. I have read the book several times as it is very easy reading and gives so much information from a biblical point of view. The book points out that we are to obey God and His principles, put Him first place in our lives then "He will give us the desires of our heart." Many Christians may not know what God teaches us in His word about dating and marriage. This is an excellent book to learn from and to be enlighted. It was very well written and is a must-read for ever Christian woman and/or man.
Rating:  Summary: This Book is Not What I Expected It to Be Review: I highly recommend and encourage women, men and even teenagersto read this book. I expected it to be just another one of those"how to hook a man" books. I didn't want to buy it, but following the leading of the Spirit, I'm so glad I did. This book teaches you first how to please God and seek His Face in choosing a mate. Marriage is ministry. END
Rating:  Summary: This book works Review: I wish I had this book when I first started dating! It was inspirational and offered Godly advice on how to take 6 months off to prepare for not only a husband, but a husband whose bought out and sold to GOD. Every single woman should read this!
