| This is a great book for Moms at any stage. It's even better for someone who is pregnant. It goes into the principals that God has laid out for a mother. His ultimate plan for us as mothers. We are to teach our children to pray even before they can speak! She goes into really great craft ideas to incorperate into your daily routine with your kids or grandkids. It really is a great book. |

| beautiful, down to earth, scriptural book Sep 12, 2008 |
| As a Mum of (almost) four under four and a half, I don't have time for airy theories. I need something that will help me at the coal face! This book is it. It has a strong scriptural basis and inspires me to be a better Mum in practical ways without drowning me in guilt about the dishes still in the sink or the tiredness I sometimes feel. Mrs George is a real Titus 2 woman! |

I got a lot out of this book, BUT...
This was not even close to Elizabeth George's book, A WOMAN AFTER GOD'S OWN HEART. Not even close.
After "Woman", my husband was telling me I was different -- he said he thought the book had made me a better woman.
I consider that pretty good feedback!
This book, while very meaningful, just was not as ... life-enhancing.
I would HIGHLY recommend A Woman After God's Own Heart by the same author.
Having dsaid that, there were a lot of great scripture and applications in this book.
I give it a four, and I would recommend it for all women, moms already or moms-to-be.
I do have one nit-picking complaint about the book -- Mrs. George uses "purpose" as a verb throughout the book, and it is jarring every time. As in, "purpose today to pray for your children." I think "commit" or "plan" or "prayerfully consider" would have been a more normal word usage, instead of "purpose". It bugged me so much that it became an inside joke for my husband and me. As in "Purpose today to go to the store and get me some orange juice."...or "Purpose today to cut the grass."... or "Did you purpose to turn out the lights upstairs?" |

| I love this book. It gives you great ideas on how to truly love and teach your children as the Lord instructs. Elizabeth George is a great author who is not afraid to say what moms need to hear! |
