Proverbs 31

I recently finished this book after receiving it as a gift from a very dear friend (and cousin!). :)

This book is well written and engaging, but in my opinion it lacks in content. I loved peeking in to her life and watching as she succeeded and struggled in the every day. Her main point is right on: Focusing on God is the true calling of the Proverbs 31, and the every day, life.

I felt that there was a lot of reaching for justification in the dilemma between being a working mom and a stay-at-home mom and wife. However, I appreciated her honesty. We all are called and convicted differently and it was nice to see her side of things.

Definitely an enjoyable read, but more for fun and less for strong Spiritual growth.

I'm not sure there has ever been another book that affected me on such a personal and spiritual level. I could not stop reading this book. It is captivating and it is exciting, terrifying and exhilarating all at the same time.

The story is written by Randy Alcorn, who happens to be one of my favorite Christian authors. I did not know that he wrote fiction, so this was my first peek at his work. I was incredibly impressed.

I cannot recommend this book enough and I highly suggest that you read it!
