Lady in Waiting Study Guide

When my husband of 7 years left my daughter and I, a friend recommended this book. It taught me to look to Jesus, rather than my husband, for contentment and happiness. A year later I reread the book and it helped me focus on what was important in a future mate, and set my standards by what God had planned for me. Now, I'm in a happy relationship that is a blessing from God, and wish I could have found this book earlier in my life, so I wouldn't have "settled". I've recommended this book to several single ladies between the ages of 16-35, and EACH and EVERY ONE said it was wonderful and eye-opening. A small group of us enjoyed getting together for coffee and discussion of a chapter once a week. This is a ideal book to buy as a gift for a friend, daughter, or granddaughter. I look forward to sharing this book with my daughter when she's older.

I LOVED this book! I do not re-read books too often. However I have read this book repeatedly. It really focuses on principles of becoming a woman who is on fire for God. It also beautifuly points out that singleness is a GIFT from God. It helps you really think about decisions regarding relationships prayerfully. It helped me make a life changing decision to turn down a marriage proposal and to have my heart set on fire for God which lead me to choose ministry as my profession! The other book that I would highly recommend on this subject would be Boundries in Dating by Cloud and Townsend.

I first read this book as a teen and it changed my life! Thought this book is specifically targeted toward single women in thier adult life, there is much to be gained by any woman reading it, no matter what stage of her adult life (or even adolescence) she may be in. I have gone through this book many times, and now as a young married woman still find new insight reading it again. Lady in Waiting focuses on being complete in and of yourself, before any romantic relationships. I recomend this book not only for you, but for every woman you know so that she may grow as an individual, and as a woman.

This is a great book for any woman to read. This book teaches women to become a woman after God's heart. I have used this book for personal refrence and also in small groups. If you are a first time small group leader; I strongly suggest giving this book a chance, it will guide you into helping young girls and women become women of faith!

This book is wonderful for any female out there. Reading the book through once, then going back and reading the parts that you really relate with will totally help your outlook on Christian dating and marriage. It isn't enjoyable to read, because it will show you areas of your life that need to be improved, but it is one of the best books I've ever read because of the effect it's had on my life. Now, devoting everything to God seems easier, and it's nice to know that I'm not alone. I definitely recommend it to any woman who is ready to let God rule her world. God bless!!
