Has anyone read this book and/or done the study guide that goes with it? I am looking for a really good book on just being a woman, not a wife or a mom, just a woman. Please do not get me wrong I love and treasure those two roles in my life, but I really want to focus on who I am in the Lord as Michelle, the woman. Someone had mentioned this book to me and I thought I would see if anyone else had read it and your opinion. Thanks!

This book was recommended to me by a friend. She was so excited about me reading it that she bought it for me and sent it to me. I have started reading it. It touches on parts of me that I have forgottten about and other parts that I have chose to bury. I like this book because I will find freedom as I read it. I just have to read it in parts as I examine myself.
CONCLUSION: yes I recommend it!

i have read it, twice!!! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this book! I continue to pass my copy around to my friends as well. It is freeing and liberating, and it will cause you to fall in love with Jesus, like never before as you learn who and what HE created you to be!!! I strongly recommend this book for any woman or young woman!

Chelle- I've been wanting to read this book for awhile. I just bought it from a used bookstore. I can't wait for a nice sunny-day to sit outside and start reading it.

I have been wondering about this book for years, but something always makes me not buy it. I don't know why.

I enjoyed reading it but it didn't really do anything for me. I passed it on to my mom. There might be a treasure or two in Captivating that might resonate with you.
I really liked reading a book about the Bad Girls of the Bible. I wish I could remember the exact title. I guess it all depends on what stage of life you are on, which book will speak to you.

Great book. Highly recommend it. Speaks to our innermost desires as women and why those desires get ignored, squelched, .....or just plain stomped on.

A girl from church who has read the book twice is suppose to bring me her copy tonight at the church softball game. I hope she remembers, but if not I am definitely going next week after pay day. I was telling my sister about the book too. She is going through somethings right now and doesn't feel like she can hear from the Lord. I don't know if this book will help her with that or not, but I told her I would let her know how it was.

I'm currently reading the book 'Breaking Free' (as Queen said, slowly as I examine myself) and I find it wonderful as well...it might be a good one for your sister Chelle. I haven't yet read Captivating but it's on my list. Thanks everyone for your insights on it.

I've read it and didn't like it. The stereotypical things just don't apply to everyone.

I do suppose it is a good place to spark conversation. Perhaps that is the best thing about most self-help books.

Well I read more reviews online and a lot people didn't like it for the same reasons mentioned here. I have always had a good relationship with both my dad and my mom. I am not so sure that it would do much for me in that case. I think I will keep looking.

I've had a good relationship with both my parents too, Chelle. Once I get around to reading it, I'll have to let you know what I think.
