A Woman After God's Own Heart by Elizabeth George was what I was looking for in a study that would show me how I as a woman can grow toward God in order to have a relationship with God. It is written by someone who actually experienced getting married without God being a focus and goes through steps of growing with God once God is a focus. It is down to earth and an easy read. This is why I really liked it. It shows how by putting God first in one's life each day, God goes before us and makes our paths easier and livable. It also speaks of our being human and making time for God. I heard about it through a woman's study but was unable to attend. I would keep this around to re-read. There wasn't much I disliked about it.
This is an excellent book for use as a guide for all women. I have been trying to put God as my top priority in life and this book is helping to keep me feeding on His word on a daily basis. The questions at the back refer to scriptures that you can read for each chapter and then answer for application to your own life and your personal walk with God. I suggest reading one chapter at the time, reading the scriptures that each question refers to, then asking yourself the questions for that chapter. Elizabeth George gives wonderful examples in each chapter that enable you to reflect on God's word.
This is a wonderful book for any woman who is pursuing God! Just as David was a man after God's own heart, so we can be women after God's own heart. Seek God one day at a time, put another pearl on your strand, as each day is a precious pearl. Those are words from this book. It directs you on how to be a more prayerful mother, daughter, wife, disciple. A Proverbs 31 woman. I love it and have bought at least 15 to give as gifts to my dearest and closest friends. I even have a story about a pearl, this book, and how God used that; but it's too long for this review. Do I recommend it? Oh yah!
