U.k - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Good, nice audiobook, listening you will like special women ?
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Amazing book. I really liked the book. It guides me to seek god.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Really loved this one and intend to read it again. The book shows the authors sweet spirit and lovingly instructs on how to be a Christian wife/mom/single/woman according to the Bible.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Definitely reinforced my upbringing in regards to being a proverbs 31 woman and homemaker.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5An enjoyable read which discussing some challenging topics. The underlying focus of this book is to talk about priorities in a woman's life and how these shape her through life. Who you are in 10 years will be determined by your goals and choices and the things you choose to focus on.
The main areas she lists (in order of priority) are:
#1 - God
#2 - Your husband (if you are married)
#3 - Your children (if you have any)
#4 - Your home
#5 - Your spiritual growth
#5 - Your ministry activities
#6 - Other activities
And she emphasises that this must be filled in order of priority. For example, you should prioritise your relationship with your husband (#2) higher than your children (#3), or your relationship with your children (#3) higher than your hobbies (#6), or most importantly, your relationship with God (#1) over all these things. Her point is not that these things are bad, but like a reverse Maslow's hierarchy of needs, you should make sure that your choices in life are prioritising things in the order of the pyramid, so that your life follows God's will and does not get out of balance, which has the potential to destroy the relationships that are being ignored.
I like how the author gets straight to the point and doesn't waffle on. She covered many topics in each chapter, had a lot of advice from her own life or other influential authors she has read. This book is definitely one I will return to and think about more over the coming months. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Here is a summary of what the book is about.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I think I've never read a christian book that was so straight to the point, practical and challenging. Every sentence was spiced with salt, every word important. Elizabeth George packed so much helpful advice into this short book and I'm beyond thankful for it because it rightened my perspective in some areas and motivated me to press on, be the woman, God desires me to be, seek him with all my heart and be the wife who helps her husband and creates a beautiful home.
The only thing I would be cautious about is that George says we should always try to do one more thing if we feel we have no strentgh left in a day, but I think there are times where rest is needful and important. There is a time for rest where we can enjoy a good book, follow our hobbies etc. But of course everything in the right dimension.
