Today I'm going to review a book I'm just about done with.  I am really enjoying it.  It's called A Wife After God's Own Heart by Elizabeth George.  If you have read anything by her you will know she is an incredible woman who has read through the whole Bible to see what it specifically says about women.  Then she has made it her goal to become that woman.   She has wrote, A Woman After God's Own Heart, A Mom After God's Own Heart and even A Little Girl After Own God's Heart.  All the ones I have read I love!

 

 

Wow, if I have ever been convicted by a book, this is it!  I have been feeling so bad as a wife lately-I know I have been failing in some many areas of my marriage.  With the loss of mom-in-law, a broken ankle, kids being sick all winter and on and on I feel like life has had me in a turmoil lately.  I will say its been the most stressful last six months ever!  With all of that I have just really struggled in being the wife I really want to be, I have let the stress of the world impact me more then I like to admit.  This book is wonderful, a book on truly being a wife that not only is pleasing to her husband but to her Lord.  Each chapter talks about different things in the marriage and at the end of each one there is a list, a to do list I guess you would say.  I love these lists, they are simple and direct and you can keep a journal on what you want to accomplish becoming a better help mate for your husband.  I really love the idea she does for her husband in praying for him three times a day.  Before he wakes up, at noon, and before he comes home from work (that way you can remember)  How many times do we pray for our husbands, the one we want to spend our whole earthly life with?  The book talks about communication, finances, children, it truly covers it all and she reminds you throughout the whole book what God has to say about all of it!  This book is even for the wife that is married to an unbeliever so if that is you, don't say no to this book, she covers that as well.  Her husband has written A Husband After God's Own Heart.  My dh and I have both committed to reading these books, and using it as couples bible study together.  I was able to get his on paperbackswap for free!  I'm excited about all that we are going to learn!

Sorry I'm out of the loop right now, but I thank you for your prayers! Things are far from over here. I'm staying offline a good bit.

I have heard so many wonderful things about Elizabeth George books, but have never read anything by her. I definitely need to see what my library system has to offer. I was trying to read Bad Girls Of The Bible by Liz Curtis Higgs before all this chaos started, but I just couldn't get into it.
