Summary: A Refreshing Reminder Of Woman's Creation & Role
Comment: In an age when women, especially women in the church, search, flounder, and grow frustrated with discovering who God created us to be, the role He is requiring of us, and how we are to relate to men, especially our spouses, this book gives direction in a manner neither oppressive nor offensive. Elisabeth Elliot, through loving letters to her daughter, allows us the opportunity to find the heart of our Creator in a way that inspires and plants desire within us. I came away from reading this book with a fresh longing to be all - nothing less and nothing more - than my God designed me to be. I encourage every Christian woman, whether 12 or 99 years of age, to read this book and allow Elisabeth Elliot's knowledge of the Word to shape who you are in Christ.

Summary: Creation - Woman for Man... or Woman for God??
Comment: MAYBE if you're in the same place as Elliot's daughter (to whom she wrote the book) this might be a good book for you. But for those of us who are single and will remain that way indefinitely until God directs otherwise, I don't recommend this.
Unfortunately, it turned out a little more "cushy" than i was looking for. I was genuinely seeking... in a time of struggle, fighting with culture to "Let [Myself] Be a Woman," I was looking for a book to challenge me, to change me, to encourage me, especially as I deal with my identity as a young Christian woman discovering who God intends for me to be. If you are expecting this book to be that book I was looking for, I recommend looking elsewhere. (Where else - I know not; I'm looking too. I have started reading "Lies Women Believe and the Truth that Sets Them Free," and it has at least been more honest and helpful, but I've only just begun it). Although this is a "nice" book, it revolves too much around men and our relationship with men (Afterall, it was her wedding gift to her daughter).
I couldn't get into this book, I gave it til chapter five, "Creation - Woman for Man," and returned it to the shelf. If God created me only for man and not for Himself, I have failed and my life has no meaning. But my life is God's and no man's, and that does not make me less of a woman or less of a Christian. I didn't finish this book, because its underlying assumption is that our purpose is simply to marry and reproduce and be good wives and mothers. Don't get me wrong, those are WONDERFUL people to be!! But this book is only for those who are already wives or mothers or soon will be. I do not recommend this for single women, especially if all you really want IS to be a good wife and mother someday and it's not something God has chosen to give you. So while a woman is completely pre-marriage and pre-motherhood (or single and barren if it shall always be that way), she must struggle and learn who she is as a woman of God (because first and foremost she is His), especially in today's culture where the role of women has been severely confused. Anyone know any good books for the unengaged women of God?

Summary: Burned Out Housewives, look no further!
Comment: Decided to review this book finally: Every copy I ever loan out never comes back, so I'm ordering 5 or 10 copies for friends getting married or already married. I was an on-the-go career girl till I got married: Self sufficient, self-supportive, and probably too self-indulgent. After I made the transition to stay at home mom (six kids), I thought I was losing my mind. This book gave me the refreshing, God centered perspective I needed to find and changed my life. So many women rush around trying to do things to validate themselves outside their home, that they miss how hugely important their role is in the home. This beautiful look at a woman's feminity will change your life.
