Book Reviews

by Shaunti Feldhahn

I started a Christian book review sub board on a message board I regularly frequent.

I thought some of you would be interested in two I've recommended:
For Women Only by Shaunti Fedhahn

She and a survey team from Decision Analyst did a blind random study and interviewed 400 anonymous men. She followed this with two more studies. Her book explains 7 insights, such as what it means for men to be "visual creatures", and do they really want you to dress up in full make up every day? How do they view love and respect? And other fascinating, timeless questions.

I read this and gained a much better understanding of how men think, in general. Of course, some specifics didn't necessarily apply to my dh but in general, wow!!!! I was really surprised by what the author discovered. I think this has helped me relate better to Terry.

Additionally, I must recommend Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers.

She is one of my favorite Christian fiction authors.

This book is amazing. She takes the life of Hosea and sets it in the wild west during the gold rush in the 1800s. It set such a vivid picture of Hosea's love for his prostitute wife and God's love for his disobedient children. . . . it has stayed with me, changed my heart somehow. It's beautifully written and has such a clear purpose about it. So go read those and I'll post again the next time I read something worth telling the world about.
