A "MUST READ" for all women
349848
In 24 wonderful and simply succint poems, poet/author Judy Stock takes the reader on a journey of one womans history of love and marriage, suffering through spousal abuse and the tragic, devastating outcomes possible. As an abused woman myself, Ms. Stocks poems strike a true chord and resonate deeply within me. She thoughtfully sets to paper the feelings and emotions an abused woman goes through before, during and after abuse. It is easy to see how this compelling little chapbook could be used as a springboard for discussions. A must-read for both victims of domestic violence and those caregivers who help survivors struggle toward healing after the abuse ends. Kudos, Judy Stock!

Eureka!
As a lifetime acquirer of books, and increasingly less-than-overwhelmed by most of the material I read, this is a glorious exception.  Marian McCain has written what should be required reading for all women approaching/already in their menopausal years............This outstanding book deals with every possible aspect of the transition into the third age of a woman's life,  shedding light, wisdom and credibility into all those dark corners we barely knew existed.  I commenced reading 'Elderwoman' at about 9:00pm one evening, and was startled to look up, a little while later, and find it was 2:00am, the following day.  I forced myself to put the book down, wanting to savour the promise of 'having something left for later.'
Marian McCain's insights into this fascinating passage in a woman's life are almost uncanny;  I had the distinct impression that she must have had a direct 'link' to my own experiences as she wrote.  It is, I find, enormously comforting to have my own  personal journey into Elderhood 'validated' by the writings of this very wise woman.
Please, ladies, do yourself a huge favor;  if you never buy another book, BUY THIS ONE!!

Every young woman should read this book! Actually, every woman should read this book. It's informative and clear and explains things I had no idea about. Gave one to each of my daughters.

I've only read about sixty pages of this book and I already love it. Every woman should read it. It reveals to you how so much of who you are as a woman is so much of how God designed for you to be. Suddenly having dreams and desires doesn't seem so wrong, but a part of God's design. This is ABSOLUTELY the best book about women that I have read. I hope your as blessed as I am when you read it.

Excellent book. A must read! I purchased this book for a womens book club hosted by the church I attend. The book is co-authored by a woman and man, so it offers both perspectives ladies! The perspective and advice that Pastor Joel A. Brooks offers is priceless. In one of the chapters, he encourages women to see their true value and worth as they are dating, and explains how men respond to women based on how the woman esteems herself. He masterfully illustrates the concept of value and worth using a metaphor of boutique versus bargain shopping---you have to read it for yourself!.  If possible, invite the authors to speak at the close of your book club. Our book club was able to have Pastor Joel Brooks as a guest to host a discussion and Q&A segment on the book. I plan to read the book again with my tween daughter.

One of the best inspirational books I have ever read. Every woman, young and old should read this book; and they should never forget what has been done in the past for them. I found myself shaking my head with amazement and realizing, that every scenerio she went through, I had been through. It made me realize that I was not the only one experiencing the same situation. Women have advanced in the workforce, but much more needs to be done for women to be equal in their chosen professions. I was so impressed with this book; that I purchased it for my daughter's High School Graduation gift. I want her to know that a Head CEO faces the same hurdles she will face in her future. I want my daughter not to give up the fight for all people, women and men to be treated as equals in the workplace.

A must read for ALL women. Dr. Eubany's book is easy to read and understand. You do not need a medical background to understand her book. I literally read it in one day. I am so thankful that she wrote this book especially since heart disease is the #1 killer for women. Tis book should be a required book in high school so that young girls can be aware of the risks and for the information to live a healthy lifestyle. Thank you Dr. Eubany for your expertise & knowledge.

I have read many books on women and spirituality over the years, and I don't know how I missed this one.  Many aha and transformational moments as I read the stories and author observations.  A  must read, especially  for women in their 50's and 60's.  Affords the opportunity to reflect and move forward, feeling a resonance and validity of a collective women's experience.

This book is very inspiring and empowering! I'm really pleased with this book and I recommend it to every woman. We all should read something like this to remind ourselves how important it is to put ourselves first and express our true selves in everything that we do, including in the way we present ourselves to the world. Thank you for the inspiration Rachel!

This book is great! It is a must-read for ALL females out there! I would have LOVED to read this book when I was in High School or College, just to learn more about what was going on with my body and why (periods, cylces, all the OB/GYN talk, how a female's body works, etc). This is awesome knowlegde and advice for all women out there of child-bearing years. I highly recommend this book!

This should be required reading for every woman who's trying to "have it all".  I read a lot of self improvement books and this one is extremely well written, funny at times, tough love at other times - a really engaging read.  The tips and tricks are doable and so necessary in today's world.  The co-authors expertise as psychiatrists gives the whole book an authoritative edge, yet felt like you were talking to a girlfriend.  I'll be recommending this to all my fabulous friends.
