Book Review

From best selling author Priscilla Shirer, in partnership with the creators of The Love Dare, comes a resolution that challenges you to realign your daily decisions in a way that glorifies God and fulfills who He created you to be.   Layered with biblical truth and seasoned with encouragement, The Resolution of Women will inspire the woman you see in the mirror to trust God's perfect plan for her life, resolving to become "purposefully feminine, surprisingly satisfied, and faithfully His."

Although a well written book I felt this book wasn't quite up to par with Courageous Living and The Resolution of Men, both books in this series of three and books I've reviewed in the past few days.  It will definitely be a book that I return to again, when I have more time to take one chapter at a time and really study it.   Because there is so much to digest within the book, I've done much underlining so that when I go back I can see what really jumped out at me as I read.

Some of the chapters in the book are:
  • Surprisingly satisfied...a resolution to be content
  • authentically me...a resolution to value myself and celebrate others
  • my best...a resolution to devote myself completely to God's priorities for my life
  • my integrity...a resolution to live with the highest stands of virtue and purity
  • and more...
Just as in The resolution of Men, the Resolution for women is printed at the beginning and the end of the book.   At the end of each chapter , thought provoking questions are asked.  A number of things I found really interesting were:
  • the affirmation statements that are taken directly from the Word.   There are five pages of them.
  • the inventory of the tongue's track record, both the symptoms and the diagnosis.
  • the "14 Challenge".   I loved this one and plan on implementing it in my life beginning in the new year.
I would recommend this book to all women as well as having one of these books in your church library.   I would HIGHLY recommend that all three books be purchased for your home and church library.
