Book Review #2 - What Women Want

March 18th, 2008

I’m just waiting for the hits…  if you Google the title (minus the subtitle listed below), you might land on a book which has a little different meaning…  nothing to worry about here.

What Women Want:  The Life You Crave and How God Satisfies written by Lisa T. Bergren & Rebecca Price

Have you been to the self-help section of your favorite bookstore?  You’ll notice that there are literally hundreds of ways, methods, and techniques you can use to “feel better about yourself” or “get rid of those negative attitudes in one day” or my favorite, “wish your way to a better you”.

This book is so much more than a self-help book.  It is a Bible study designed by women, for women.  I am constantly amazed at how God works in my life, especially through the books I read.  These authors could never have known what areas of my life I would be struggling with at the exact moment I’d read their book.  And yet, it seems as if I could read this book over and over (and work through the accompanying workbook pages) and still come away refreshed and renewed.

Many times I will read a book and think, “My husband would really like this chapter.” Or, “I’ll have to let my husband read this book; he’d like it.”  This is not such a book.  “What Women Want”, the movie with Mel Gibson, is probably what you think of when you read the title.  However, you will love to recommend this book to any woman of any age, circumstance, or background.  Each woman who reads this book will know they are a PCOG, a Phenomenal Creature Of God.  And that’s exactly what we are.
