Book Description

This beautiful four-color book opens the eyes of women to see themselves the way God sees them. Many don't even know that they are daughters of the King - chosen to be His Princess. Somewhere between childhood and adulthood, they trade in their fairy-tale dreams of being cherished for a tarnished identity fashioned by their own insecurities and the mixed-up messages of the media. Now, these tenderly adoring letters written from God's persepective demonstrate that every woman is beautiful just the way she is. Walking in confidence toward her God-given purpose, every woman can bless others - even future generations.

Something everyone needs!.......2007-01-25

I enjoyed the passages from this book in my bible study class and I am so pleased now to own my own copy for enjoyment everyday. Very Beautifully written.

His Princess.......2007-01-12

This book is so touching. A friend gave me a copy and I loved it so much I ordered 7 more to give as Christmas gifts. I've read one or two letters every night before going to sleep. These letters are written as if God is writing to each woman personally, father to daughter. Each letter is based on a Bible verse that is included. The letters are so loving and personal. I will read this book over and over.

Pass it on!!.......2006-10-21

Within these pages you will truly find words of love and encouragement from your God and King. God sees us with such loving and forgiving eyes and He desires for us to see ourselves through His eyes. May each Princess find herself through this wonderful little book.

My good friend and mentor gave this book to me and it has been a great encouragement. I have since given this book as a gift to friends. It is a book you will not want to keep to yourself - Pass it on!

Awesome...definitely a blessing.......2006-07-17

This book has been a huge encouragement to me in times of trials. I would definitely recommend it. It would also be a great gift.

I Shared This Book before reading it.......2006-05-22

I read a few of the letters and then shared it with my aunt, who loved it. I so recommend this to every woman - I have hundreds and hundreds of books, and I think this is one I will buy for all my friends. There is only one "drawback" - it is so beautiful, so lovely that I don't want to underline or highlight the book. This makes a gorgeous gift!

Right On.......2007-10-10

This book is dead on. I used to be a critical wife and nearly destroyed my marriage. This book offered me a new way of looking at my destructive habits that I could not see... I see them now. I am forever a changed woman and my marriage is now wonderful.

This book made me sick.......2007-10-09

There are only a few good points Debi Pearl shared in this book. But as I read, I realized why they had to publish it themselves. No one else would touch this book.

Many of the reviewers have already written how I feel (the ones who thought this book was dangerous and written for wives to be doormats to their husbands).

But there is one section of the book I MUST write about. It is on page 163 and it gives wives a sample dialog that she suggests:

WIFE: "What can I do to help you, Adam?"

HUSBAND: "Pick up the other end of that log, and help me move it over here."

W: "What should my next project be, Adam?"

H: "Have my dinner ready every evening, and take good care of my little ones."

W: "That is a very strong fence you are building, and the gate looks nice. I am so proud of you, Adam. What would you like now?"

H: "Take your clothes off real slow so I can watch...Yeah, you're a fine help meet."

I was so grossed out when I read that. And she calls herself a Christian? This woman and her husband are sick. This degrades women and our role in marriage. Please do not buy this book. I threw it right out as if it were crawling with maggots.

What an AMAZING book!.......2007-10-07

A friend of mine leant me this book....which turned into a "can I PLEASE keep this book!"

Thank you to the Pearls for this true "marriage changer".

It does not matter whose fault the marriage problems are.... SOMEONE has to take the step to make the change. The Lord will bless anyone who seeks to be like Him....

Thanks to the Pearls SO much....

EVERY MARRIED WOMAN NEEDS TO READ THIS BOOK!!!.......2007-10-02

When the woman in leadership at my church first discovered this book, I was turned off by it becasue they were acting like it was the Bible. I wasn't married at the time anyways so it didn't matter. I do not recommend this book for a woman till she is with in a week of getting married. One God laid it on my heart to read it my whole attitude changed towards my man. I had found what my heart had been longing for, God's way. I am not saying use it like a Bible, yes there is tons of scripture in it and you feel full after reading it. I am saying use this book to get your mind going, put your personality into it. I know when I read it I use it to get my mind flowing and put my own personal touches to what she suggests. All you need to focus on is God's design for a marriage. I truly believe Debi did not mean for it to get church woman to worship this book...even though some seem to. She meant it to tell young woman (even old woman if they will listen) how to be a wife and follow God's design. I am refreshed and the feeling it gives me to be my husband's help meet is out of this world!!! My husband, trust me I reap MANY benefits from it!!! As for me and my house we will serve the Lord!!!

Do not buy this book!.......2007-09-29

We received this book as a wedding present some time ago. I read it during the first few months of our marriage and was completely appalled by its contents.

Before posting a review, I wanted to read it ALL THE WAY THROUGH to be sure that Debi Pearl's propensity to MISINTERPRET Scripture was not just an occasional error, and I found that, from cover to cover, her MISUSE and ABUSE of Scripture was ubiquitous throughout. According to her words, there is a hierarchy: God => man => woman => children. Listening to a marriage lecture by her husband (Michael Pearl) confirmed this unbiblical belief. They really do believe that God talks to the man, the man talks to the woman. The woman ought to submit to her husband's will as if his will and thoughts were God's will and thoughts. She is to submit to him as if he were her Savior. This is what they teach and THIS IS a LIE. Scripture does not say this! If it did, then Christianity would no longer be a monotheistic but polytheistic -- and Christ's mission on earth failed. He came so that there would no longer need to be any mediators between God and people (no more high priests), but according to Pearl theology, the man needs to be a 'high priest' on behalf of the woman. This is highlighted in Debi Pearl's encouragement to wives (in this book) to give up their 'quiet time' with the Lord in order to ensure time to serve their husbands. In essence, a woman needs to give up her relationship with God because her priority is husband, children and THEN God. This is heretical!!! God desires a deep and personal relationship with both men AND women. Every woman's first priority is God -- NOT her husband's.

And just to substantiate some of my statements, here are some quotes from the book:
You are created to be "a helper suited to the needs of a man. This is how God created you and it is your purpose for existing....You are created to make him complete, not to seek personal fulfillment parallel to him." p. 21.

No, this is not Biblical. The Bible does not teach this. God made both Adam & Eve in His own image (so they are therefore EQUAL), and He called both Adam & Eve to rule over all the creatures (see Gen 1:26 - says "so that THEY may rule over..." it doesn't say "him" because where it says "man", God meant 'human beings' - both men and women.) A woman was created to follow God's will, not her husband's. Her purpose in existing is to fulfill God's will, not her husband's. And YES she is to seek personal fulfillment parallel to her husband -- because both men and women ARE EQUAL!

Here's an example of one of the many ridiculous stories from her book:
"As a general rule, my husband just doesn't take the trash out....One day recently my husband saw me struggling out the door with a huge sack of trash in one hand and several empty boxes in the other. Since he was headed in that direction, he volunteered to carry the heavy sack. He walked about ten feet ahead of me, holding the sack out from his body with one hand. I knew he was just showing me how strong he was. I was amused, as usual, by his display of manhood. After nearly 35 years of having me appreciate his muscles, you would htink he would tire of showing off, but he knows I have never tired of watching him perform. When he got near the lare trash trailer, he was really getting into his macho thing. With great fanfare, he flung the large trash bag as if it were a cement block instead of a thin plastic bag too loaded down for his own strength. Of course, the string broke, allowing the bag to hit the side of the trailer, bursting open and dumping trash all over the ground. I could tell he was a little embarrassed as I rushed over to clean up his mess, but he continued on his merry way."

She goes on to say that she used to get irritated and annoyed and made a big deal about things like this but has decided that it isn't worth it to make such a big deal about trash. She understands the male psyche - the male EGO and how hard it is for them to get over their PRIDE, so instead of making a fuss, she cleaned up his mess. Instead of holding him accountable for his pride and mistakes, she excuses and cleans up his mess for him. This is not biblical love. This is unbiblical indulgence.

Later, she goes on to say that if your husband comes home late for dinner without telling you, don't get mad, just wait for him to come home and heat up his food with a smile -- as if you hadn't been waiting for hours and hours. Again, no accountability.

Essentially, the message of this book is this: Let the husband do what he wants. You must be obedient to his every wish - no complaining or you will lose him and your life will be a horror of horrors (you will have to live in a "dumpy duplex" and worse yet, your children will be forced to go to public school), because you are not fulfilling God's purpose for your life of being one man's slave (or, as Debi Pearl puts it, "failed the very purpose to which you were created, to be a suitable helper to a man" p. 58). Every problem in a marriage goes back to the woman; it is always the wife's fault somehow.

I believe the Pearls would preach that a wife should submit to her husband even if he beat her. They would say, If he beats you, you're doing something wrong. Go back and pray and submit until you do things right.

My sisters, this is NOT God's will for our lives.

No one who reads the Bible and knows Jesus should believe a word of this book.

Inspiring, funny, appropriate and real.......2007-06-16

I stumbled upon this book and am so glad I did.

The author has an obvious love and passion for Jesus and a desire to tell others about how to be a godly and virtuous woman. Forget "The Rules" - Read and apply the principals outlined in the book and fall in love with the Savior. In a culture that forces one to immediate gratification, this book will inspire and motivate you to pray for your husband to FIND you ("He who finds a wife finds a good thing") while you are pursuing God's plan for your life. In addition to inspiring single women, this book also encourages married women and provides practical advice to becoming an irresistable wife.

The book is easy to read, humorous, points to Jesus, scripturally based and applicable for today. I like the use of scriptural stories which illustrate not only how to be a godly and faith inspired woman, but how the scriptures are truely timeless and relevant. She also starts each chapter with a prayer - beautiful, powerful and authentic prayer - preparing the heart of the reader to greater faith.

practical, down to earth advice.......2007-05-15

I found this to be a very down to earth book with practical advice. I have begun applying some of Michelle's principles and am finding that they really do work. Recently divorced after 28 years of marriage, I was a little unsure of how to approach dating again. I am now in a new relationship. This handy reference has helped my self assurance and I am using my power much more effectively than I ever would have otherwise. Thanks, Michelle!

Secrets of an Irresistible Woman: Smart Rules for Capturing His Heart.......2007-02-17

I think this book is a must have for all single and seeking women. It certainly changed my outlook, and I have since stopped seeking and resolved that Mr. Right will find me.

A NEW WOMAN.......2007-01-05

WOW! This book was so awesome...again, the title would make you think you would become so intriguing and irresistible you'd snag your next mate. NOT SO!
This book helped you to wash away the residue of old hurts and wrong mindsets. To have a heart for the Lord! SO WONDERFUL!
I bought 8 copies of this book for friends and family. It was so life changing I had to share this wealth of knowledge.

a must read for all women.......2006-10-12

I wish that I could have read this book when I was single, because I would have avoided a lot of heartache. This book helped me even as a married woman to make my relationship better. This is the best book I have ever read about relationships. This is her best!

Book Description

From her survey of more than a hundred eligible men, noted relationship author Michelle McKinney Hammond paints a realistic picture of what really attracts men to women and what to do with his attention once you’ve got it....

Men appreciate women who are open and honest (and smell nice!)
Women who love the Lord radiate an inner beauty that is unequalled to any face cream sold on the Home Shopping Network
Men really do notice the small details so take notice of how you present yourself in public.
A clean, well–organized home tells a man that you have your life in order and are ready for commitment.
Making your man feel like a priority in your life once you’ve captured his attention is crucial.

Inside a Man's Heart.......2004-12-23

In communicating and trying to figure out what it is men want, sometimes it's necessary to go directly to the source: men! Michelle McKinney Hammond has done that in her latest book, 101 WAYS TO GET AND KEEP HIS ATTENTION. She has interviewed 100 men of various ages, races, backgrounds, and socioeconomic status to find out exactly what it is they look for in a woman; especially the one they will make their wife. Using their answers and her Christian background, Ms. Hammond has created a step-by-step guide for women interested in getting inside a man's heart, while simultaneously making themselves better people.

Although the book is spiritually based with scriptures and guidance from God's teachings, it is also broken down into the basics of what most men agree attracts them to women. Using the five senses as the focus, this book is indeed a repository of information for becoming the woman who not only interests a man, but also one who is pleasing to God. It's no big secret that men enjoy the physical appearance of women, but 101 WAYS TO GET AND KEEP HIS ATTENTION delves a bit deeper into the man's psyche and shows his vulnerability, his desire for love, affection, gentleness, and to be appreciated. It further details how our moods, tone, and even touch can make or break his spirit. As an extra bonus, sprinkled throughout the book are quotes, as well as poems highlighting the beauty of love and sharing that love with another person.

Ms. Hammond urges women to look at themselves, open up for revelation and discovery, and change attitudes as necessary to fully reap the benefits. I enjoyed this book and have incorporated the teachings within my own day-to-day dealings with my husband. It is a delight to find a read that inspires and motivates, as well as celebrates and encourages the beauty of not only love, but how to be loving. (RAW Rating: 4.5)

Great Survery Book.......2004-08-08

I have enjoyed all of Hammond's book to date! Through her writings, she has guided me on finding my dream man, the right ways, which is THE LORD WAY! I have learned so much, I wished I had read her books years ago, it would have saved me so much heartche.

I would have gave this book 5 stars (like I have on her other books), but this is a survey book. Not that their is anything wrong with survey books, but this book seems to be repetative of her other books.

Not Just for Christians........................2003-11-13

This is the second book I have read by Ms. Hammond and I wasn't disappointed at all. In fact I read it in one day. This book is not just for single/married christian women but for any woman who is concerned about how she may or may not appear to the opposite sex or let alone to others as a whole. I recommend this book to all woman if for nothing else as a guide for self examination. Are you projecting the woman that you want others to see? Are you being and displaying the best in order to attract Gods best? Now that's a thought! Ms Hammond is only aiding us ladies with a 101 check list of things to enhance our relationships whether it be with your man or the MAN (God). Read, enjoy, and be blessed.

A single woman CAN be an authority on Getting and Keeping!.......2003-10-29

Okay, firstly, I'd like to thank the reviewer who believes that because Michelle has never been married, she may not be an authority on how to get and keep a man, or the attention of a man. You encouraged me to see just how fast I could buy and read yet another one of Michelle's awesome pieces. The book is classic "Michelle," full of Godly, sound, tried, tested and true advice. I highly recommend it. It is different and that makes it useful and a great, quick read. If you are (or even if you're not) a studier of God's word, you should know that there IS worthy advice according to scripture found in the Song of Solomon, Proverbs and other books of the bible. Michelle reflects that in this book. Buy it! ...NOW: Perhaps some women have been gifted with the patience and wisdom to wait on the RIGHT man, not willing to accept sorry substitutes, no matter how fine, rich or available they may seem. God has the right ONE for all of us. There was a time when I, too questioned Michelle's single status..I'm also single, and would like to have my husband, but in GOD's sovereign time. She is a stunning, intelligent, talented, annointed sister and yes, it puzzles me why God hasn't given her a mate yet. But while she is waiting, you'd be wise to follow the example and teaching that she offers freely. Well, actually for $8.99 plus shipping in this case. (smile) Thanks, Michelle for another powerful book. Come back to Salem soon. Peace.

Information Obtained from the Source.......2003-10-02

The author explains that the materials come from a survey given to men from all walks of life. She was intelligent enough to obtain information from the source, the men women are trying to attract and keep.

This author is an author who hears from God. When you have a relationship with God and allow Him to use you as a vessel, your resume or experience means nothing, when God qualifies you that is all that you need.

I recommend this book whether you are trying to attract and keep a man or not. It reminds you to do what is necessary to reflect what God created you to be, a beautiful, confident woman.

Becoming the Woman of His Dreams is for women who want to be more Cinderella than Cruella De Vil, but this book is not just about living happily ever after. It’s a thoughtful look at the wonderful, unique, and God–ordained role a woman has in her husband’s life.

Author Sharon Jaynes surveyed hundreds of men and asked them many specific questions, including

How would you describe the woman of your dreams?
What does your wife do well that other women could learn from?
What is one thing you wish women understood about what a man wants in the woman of his dreams?

Pulling it all together, Sharon presents seven key qualities that together unlock the secret to a happy marriage.

Great book for strengthening a marriage........2007-07-12

Sharon Jaynes does an excellent job of presenting information about what men really want in a marriage. She did a simple survey with hundreds of men and shares her discoveries in this book.

What I enjoyed was that she gave stories of various women who either excelled in one of the seven qualities or was an example of what not to do. Although she occasionally gave a list of "25 ways to show respect" for example, I didn't feel overwhelmed by a to do list. I think Jaynes communicates in a manner that stresses the importance of the relationship with your husband.

Sharon Jaynes made a simple statement near the end of the book that could save a lot of marriages. She wrote, "It all goes back to why we want to become the woman of his dreams. Is it to give or to get?" Just keeping or re-gaining the perspective that it is possible for me to be the woman of my husband's dreams and experience the joy of a vibrant relationship with the man I married is liberating. He didn't choose me to compete with, but rather to complete him.

We love this book!.......2006-11-11

I co-lead a Bible study group which is using this book right now. Honestly, we haven't totally finished it yet, but so far, this is a great book. It is easy to read so it doesn't mean an overwhelming amount of homework for the group. The study questions in the back do not simply ask you to "fill in the blank" from what you have already read. The questions suppliment the reading. The author intertwines her writing with scripture and quotes from a poll of husbands. Many contemporary wives will see themselves in this book. In the end, this book is more about a wife's relationship with God than about a wife's relationship with her husband. This book can change your life and improve your marriage.

Very good book.......2006-06-27

This book did a good job describing what men want and giving suggestions of how to give it to them. I've read much of the same stuff before, but this was a well-written book on the topic and I'm going to keep it in my library for another read-through.

However, if you were to buy just one book on the subject of improving your relationship with your husband (which is why I bought this), I'd recommend "For Women Only" by Shaunti Feldhahn. She not only covers most of the topics in this book but she goes much more in-depth so you can really understand what men mean when they say that they want respect or whatever.

Book Description

Prayers to My King is a beautiful gift book created to help women connect intimately with their God. Where the first book in the His Princessâ¢ series reminded us that we are loved intimately and unconditionally by our King, this second book helps us express our deepest thoughts, desires, fears and failures by emulating King David in the Psalms and crying out to God through prayer. Christian women will gain a personal, dynamic prayer life.

You want to

feel God’s presenceâ¦

embrace His promisesâ¦

cry out to Himâ¦

â¦but don’t know how!

From your heart’s deepest cry to life’s joyful praises, nothing is off limits to Him. Go confidently now before His throne as you claim these powerful prayers as your own.

He’s waiting to hear from youâ¦

If from there you will seek the Lord your God,

you will find Him if you seek Him with

all your heart and soul and life.

Story Behind the Book

âToo many of God’s âchosen onesâ don’t know how to have a real relationship with their Lord. We want to feel His presence, but we don’t know how to let Him in. We want to see His promises come true, but we don’t believe they are for us personally. We want to experience His power, but we keep trying to live life in our own strength. We want to cry out to Him, but we’re afraid to break down and admit that we’re weak. My prayer for this book is that women of God will have a personal, life-changing prayer life and be transformed into the daughters of the King they were destined to be from the beginning.â

This is a wonderful way to get real with God, our Father in heaven. Every subject is covered for ways to bring us back to God when we might not be doing all that He has called us to do. It is also a way to give Him praise and honor for being such a wonderful God and loving us unconditionally. I highly recommend this book for women of all ages! Thank you Shari Rose Shepherd for loving the Lord and bringing women this beautiful book of Prayers to our King!

Book Description

Applying the concepts from his bestseller Sacred Marriage, Gold Medallion award-winning author Gary Thomas reveals what a man needs from his wife to become the husband she wants.

Customer Reviews:

Very helpful male perspective, 4.5 stars.......2007-10-07

This book is a great tool! It helps one identify the ways they might be plowing their field upside down. Developing charity is tough. It takes incredible humility and Gary Thomas has some motivating methods for stirring up our resolve. So, 4.5 stars?

The book has one major controversy. Midway through the book Thomas admits this change in direction by bringing up Madame de Pompadour as a chief model of how to influence one's husband. Only Pompadour uses that influence on the king INSTEAD of her husband. Madame de Pompadour is actually a character one might want to avoid modeling their life after. She, a married woman with 2 children, chose to go and seduce the king of France and crush her husband rather than hold to the principles that would have kept her less famous, yet building her marriage. She became a master of intrigue who won for herself pompous titles and honors of land and a royal burial, but she was just the main course in a continuous buffet of infidelity, never mind what happened to her broken family. She did little more than what any power hungry, spiritually undeveloped woman, fearful to maintain illegitimate ties, might do.

So read that section with blinders off. His point for bringing her up is weak, but it does come across. Treat your husband (except in the case of Madame de Pompedour, conquest) like a king and a you will, more likely than not, be blessed for it. Thankfully, Thomas mentions that model within marriage is still a position of subservience if used as a tool of manipulation. Submissiveness is an entirely different thing. It is done with confidence in Christ's love while subservience is not.

If you can get through that pot hole, the rest of the book does stay on track regarding submissiveness and its role in the salvation of one's family. This is mainly in regards to attitude.

Besides this there are some excellent points in Mr. Thomas' book regarding the role of hormones, such as oxytocin, and how they are used in a man's body to bond him to his wife.

This is a good read. The section on Madame de Pompadour is awkward, but Gary does use other righteous examples of women who secured for themselves splendid honor in their marriages. There is just less of a prominent focus on them because their racy side is left veiled to the public as it should be. Through them he makes a good point: it is an exceptional woman who comprehends her potential in the role that God outlines for her AND, after reading his book, you do come out flipped back over properly and plowing right side up.

Transformational!!!.......2007-09-28

Rather than me attempting to express the depth of insight and wisdom in this book, I decided that Gary Thomas speaking for himself would serve the purpose. The rest of this review comes straight from "Sacred Influence" to your screen :)

Quoted from "Sacred Influence" by Gary Thomas:

"How is God using your marriage to teach you how to love?

When you find yourself in a difficult marriage, or in a basically good marriage with one particular issue that grates on you, you can be sure that God wants to mature you as you face this problem with strength, courage, dignity, and biblical wisdom. God could of course speak the word and your problem would be solved- voila! But that's not how God usually works. He allows us to face issues that may terrify us and make us feel completely inadequate- he may even walk us through our deepest fears- so that we can grow in him.

The Bible is adamant about this. Spiritual growth takes place by persevering through difficult times

...

The good news is that you and God are in this together. He knew, even before he created you, who you'd marry. And he will continue to give you the tools you need to become the person he's called you to be and to do the work he's created you to do within your current relationship. God would never leave you alone in any situation: "He will never leave you nor forsake you" (Deut 31:6). Even if you married a non-Christian, God's grace is sufficient for you. You cannot dig a hole so deep that it cuts you off from God's provision, care, and life-giving strength....

That's the message I want to communicate: you and God are in this together, and he's beginning your marriage makeover with you. Let him transform you as you seek to move your husband. While you may never achieve the results you have in mind, you can- without question- change the equation of your marriage by remodeling yourself. It begins with understanding, perhaps for the first time, the glory of being a godly woman and acting with the strength of a godly woman who understands she was created in the image of God, forgiven of her sins through the work of Jesus Christ, and gifted and empowered by God's Holy Spirit to live the life God has called her to live...

By courageously facing up to the challenges that every marriage faces, and by letting God change you in the process, something wonderful takes place- the formation of a new woman, fully alive to God, who can take the lessons she learns at home and apply them everywhere else.

'We can't guarantee success in this war, but we can do something better. We can deserve it.'"

Slightly stereotypical, but good.......2007-09-02

Gary Thomas is brave to write a book for wives from a male perspective and he does a fairly good job, in my opinion. There are spots where he makes generalizations and the examples of couples he uses are on the sweet and simple side, but he makes some good points. We are either making a good marriage by degrees or tearing one down by degrees. Our identity is in Christ, not our marital status.
I preferred "Sacred Marriage" over "Sacred Influence" by Thomas, but this one did make a good book for a discussion group of wives in my church.

Spectacular!.......2007-07-24

This is definitely worth reading! I wish every married (or soon to be married) woman would read this. Gary Thomas writes TO women, not just at them or for them. I felt very understood and was excited to alter my behavior during and after reading this.I also learned a ton about men in general...and i've been married for 14 years so i am not "new" at this. I am so encouraged! This isn't 5 easy steps to change your man, but a challenge and call to change yourself...the ONLY one you CAN change. The blessing that comes in your marriage from your personal growth is a bonus! It gives great advise from a man's point of view. Isn't that what we all need since we are so different from men? He is caring and respectful but plain and easy to understand. I hope you enjoy it as much as i have. Since i have read this and Sacred Marriage i have gone on to read Gary's other book The Glorious Pursuit...another winner!

Good book, very helpful; some drawbacks.......2007-06-09

I must first and formost admit that this is was a very difficult book for me to read. The TRUTH presented in it hit home like a tone of bricks! I really appreciate Mr. Thomas's point of view and I really like that this book is written from a man's point of view. I really feel like God has chosen me to do a good work in my husband's life. This book has helped me see how I have not been cooperating with God in being a Godly influence to my husband. Here's the thing: I'm not sure I would recommend this book for women who are being neglected or emotionally/physically abused by their husband. Women in this position are in a very delicate state and need to be built up in God and receive a stronger foundation in Him before being able to take a look at themselves throught the lens of this book. There are elements in this book that may inadvertently reinforce a woman's belief that her mistreatment is her doing and her responsibility. A woman's abuse at the hands of her husband is his choice and his choice ALONE. There are so many woman out there who need to be empowered FIRST, before one is able to pick apart their roles in their abusive relationships. There needs to be a greater awareness of this issue and it needs to be addressed more openly in books that deal with the woman's role in the marriage.

Although there was a chapter on husbands who are unsaved, it was not adequate. This kind of union has different needs from a christian union and I felt that this book did not provide this different perspective.

Another bad taste that was left in my mouth after all this was that in my readings of so many of the Christian lit on marriage (including this one), men seem to not be held accountable for ungodly behavior as much as women. Despite this very valuable point of view from Mr. Thomas, it lacks any kind of idea that men should be held accountable for the mistreatment of their wives.

I gave this book four stars because I feel like despite it's drawbacks it has helped me realize that by honoring my husband I'm really honoring God. It is God who requires me to be a good wife to my husband and that fact is paramount to whatever self-centered feelings I may have toward my marriage and my husband. This book defintely helps you to realize how you can be the wife God wants you to be.

Customer Reviews:

Amazingly accurate!.......2007-04-07

This book is amazing. As an avid Cosmo reader, I thought that this would be sort of a rewording of most articles. I was happily mistaken! I enjoyed this book (so did my husband I might add). This book gives you that extra umph of self confidance. I cant wait for a sequel!!

More Life, Love, Work, and then Sex but certainly not disappointing!.......2006-09-25

Who penned the title for this book? It should have been titled something else but hey I still bought it and I don't even read Cosmopolitan Magazine. This is another book of life lessons or at least How to's for women. 86 lessons in all. Of course, not every lesson is associated with sex and men but rather a woman's life and pursuit of style and self. I'm a big advocate of finding self and I think Kate White is too.

There are endless magazines on the market about anything under the sun for women. You'll find all subjects from fitness, style, health, and hobbies but no magazine delivers the message of self confidence laced with sex appeal as much as Cosmopolitan. Kate White has put together this book of 86 lessons she's acquired in her years as Editor and Chief of Cosmopolitan that will make you think, experiment, nod in agreement, and laugh.

It was a good read that offers advice on sex, men, life, self-confidence, and work. It's somewhat of a mentor book that covers all those topics that you eventually end up asking your mentor with some sex advice that you'd normally ask your most experienced girlfriend about. Each topic is to the point and fairly short so you can read at your leisure with out having to get sucked into a plot you can't put down so this is a great book for reading while waiting in line or a few pages before bed. Most of the chapters are two pages with a few that need more pages to cover the topic but all fairly short.

I loved the different topics. My favorite was lesson forty-two: Guys Like Women Naked, Period. I got a chuckle out of quote in the book: "Want to know how to look hot naked? Answer: Take Your Clothes Off! Also there are a number of other great lessons in the book dealing with work and personal appearance that I really liked. Anyway it's worth a read even if the title kind of misrepresents the contents of the book.

half about sex and makeup, half about the world of work.......2006-08-20

Based on the cover of the book, I expected ALL sex advice. And I hoped it would be REALLY HOT! But actually, it is a fun and useful advice book I would give to any girl 16 or over. It is also an outlet for Kate White, Editor in Chief of Cosmopolitan magazine to tell bitchy stories about people who have annoyed her! About half of this book contains good, sensible advice for the young woman early in her work life. Most of the career advice is good common sense, things that those of us who have been working for a decade or two have learned the hard way. Things about office gossip, bitchiness, and being stabbed in the back, paying attention to things that you see and hear, and keeping your mouth shut about a lot of it. I could have used this advice at twenty or twenty-five. Kate White is a powerful business woman, so she is well-qualified to give career advice, but she also wrote this book as if it were a letter to a younger sister, so it is fun and entertaining. Plus, the other half of the book is about non-career girl stuff: sex, relationships, and makeup tips. Though I already know how to treat a zit, apply eye makeup, and the rather simplistic tricks in the sack Kate White included in the book (putting a mint in your mouth before going down is about as novel as it gets), it doesn't hurt to remind yourself of the tricks of the trade: try something different to keep sex interesting, don't wear your husband's sweatpants around the house ALL the time, wear something sexy, tease your hair, and wear eyeliner, have your own life, don't tell your man every little detail, save the malicious gossip or discussions about the lives of soap opera characters for your girlfriends or your gay boyfriends. There really is a lot of good advice in this book. If you have an affair, DON'T CONFESS. DON'T discuss shoe purchases with your man. And pee with the door CLOSED.

Pretty good book - better than it's title suggests.......2006-08-08

Quite a bit was "been there, read that" -- but it was a worthy pep talk!

More Than Just Sex Tips.......2006-07-16

While I understand the marketing thinking behind calling this book HOW TO SET HIS THIGHS ON FIRE, truthfully the book would have been better named How to Set Your World on Fire. Sure, there are the requisite sex tips (and I'm not even too embarrassed to admit that I learned a thing or two in this category), but what I really liked about this book were the sections dealing with life and career.

Two chapters that really resonated for me were TOSS OUT YOUR FIVE YEAR PLAN and HOW TO COME UP WITH A KILLER IDEA. Great sex advice as well as career tips, what more could a girl ask for?

There truly are a number of thought-provoking pearls of wisdom in this book beyond the naughtiness we've come to expect of Cosmo. More importantly, the book is fun and easy to read. And while you may learn a few things about setting his thighs on fire, don't be surprised if you learn other life lessons along the way.

A quick read that provides some useful guidelines!.......2007-08-09

This little book selects eight areas where a wife can interact with her husband to achieve a happier marriage. All eight areas may not apply to everyone, but they certainly provide a good starting point for strengthening any marriage. The author gives a few examples and suggestions, but leaves most of the applications up to the reader.

According to TerKeurst, the avenues where a godly wife can encourage and stimulate her husband are spiritually, emotionally, sexually, vocationally, intellectually, relationally, physically and permanently. I hadn't really thought about some of these and have benefitted from her insights into how they provide the security and support every husband, indeed every human being needs.

Highly Recommend.......2007-03-29

This short but insightful book was a quick read but it absolutely revolutionized the way I see marriage. I shared some of the insights with my husband and he said, "she's right!" It's also a good easy summer bible study to do with married friends.

I dont even know where I got this book.... maybe a in my christmas stocking from my mom one year? I found it on my bookshelf while my husband and I were having a hard time and read a chapter a day. It quickly became one of my fav's. It is very practical and I use the concepts all the time. I try to do something every day to meet one of my husbands needs, and it has definatly blessed us both.

Customer Reviews:

Whats the point?.......2007-03-02

This is a very unorganized book and it doesn't even include the letter that the author is responding to. The responding letter may have good points to it but it may or may not apply to your situation. I couldn't assess whether the advice given in the letters were in my best interest or not because I didn't know the situation surrounding the advice.

Very helpful resource.......2007-01-10

The reason for purchasing this book is obviously a heartbreaking one, but I found so much encouragement in its pages. This book really helped me begin to shift my focuss off myself and on to God. The author has been through what you may be going through and what I am facing and truly offers much hope.

Unorganized.......2006-05-01

This book is a series of letters to various women (real or fake? who knows) and has pretty much zero structure to it. I'm pretty sure the whole "letters" idea is just an excuse for not having any kind of organization at all. It's hard to even know where the author is coming from, or going, with whatever she is saying. It's just a bunch of random thoughts thrown together. Not only that, but some of the things this lady says don't really line up with scripture. It's just not a very helpful book at all, and is pretty frustrating to read, and like I said before, not really sound scripturally. It's unorganized and "chatty" and basically depthless, which is a pretty impressive feat to accomplish with a subject as deep as sexual sin. Unless you just want an attractive book with a catchy title, save your money and time and pass this one up.

May not suit everyone's needs...........2005-07-17

If you are looking for a book to help with a personal situation in your life or in the life of someone you love that is hurting, this is not the first book I would recommend. Each letter is written with a different situation in mind and it is likely that only a few of the letters she writes will touch your personal situation, especially if your situation involves other forms of abuse. If you are looking for a more professional or pyschological approach, you may want to look elsewhere. However, if you want to have a greater understanding of how the sexual addictions of husbands hurt their wives or to let you know you are not alone, this book will help give you that. Kathy, the author, has experienced a great deal of hurt in her own marriage and identifies well with the various situations. Although I didn't always agree with her advice, I admire Kathy's consistency as she points each woman back to the Lord where all Truth and healing ultimately lies.

This book is written by an uneducated hillbilly.......2005-03-11

Her advice is eratic and inconsistant. I'm worried that the women who recieved these letters from her will actually continue to remain in horrific degrading marriages.

In one letter she asks, ". . .does having a comfortable, pain-free life mean so much to you that you would end your marriage for it? Does his pornography addiction really warrant divorce?" As a person who has been in recovery for several years for co-dependency and co-addiction and is married to a sex addict who actually went to a rehab program (Del Amo Hospital in Los Angeles) for it, I think that I can answer her rhetorical questions. When you are married to a narcissist (and yes, most sex addicts qualify as narcissists)who is emotionally abusive and you have lost your sense of self and self respect and you feel like you're losing your sanity, yes you should end the marriage. It is o.k. to do what is in your best interests. I can't believe this woman would suggest that other women remain in a painful demoralizing relationship with no end in sight of the suffering. Marriage takes work on both sides and if your husband is not in a recovery program for sexual addiction and seeking professional help then it is time to hit the road ladies. It's not going to get any better unless you focus on your own recovery AND he focuses on his.

To answer her second question, again my answer is YES. Pornagraphy is cheating which in biblical terms is grounds for divorce. I can't believe this woman waters it down and suggests that a woman suffer through it. Sexual addiction is progressive, that means without treatment it gets worse. If your husband is looking at porn and is not earnestly seeking help for getting free from it, then get out of the relationship. Why wait until he's sleeping with prostitutes and gives you a V.D.?! Don't be naive, that is what it leads to. Even if he is seeking help, still if you want to get a divorce, then yes of course you have biblical grounds for it it. It's your life and no one in their right mind would suggest you put up with this, just like no one would suggest you remain with an alcoholic or a drug addict. It's the same across the board. Any professional will tell you that addiction is addiction is addiction - they all tend to have the same root causes and they are all destructive.

Please do not take this book seriously. Instead seek out a support group such as COSA. Stand up for yourself and get counseling, not just marital counseling or counseling for your husband, but one on one counseling for YOU!
