Well after making several bad choices in my dating life, I finally grew up. My sister sent this book to me. It really changed her life. This book then changed my life. The book teaches how to first enjoy being single. Then it teaches you to how to date God's way. The author covers issues like building a strong communication foundation, a foundation on prayer and incorporating GOD as the center of the relationship. Then she talks about how to date with the intention of marriage. The author speaks about the importance of listening to God's voice when choosing a lifelong partner. For God looks at the heart while man looks at the outer appearance. If you think you have dating standards, this book will challenge the validity of them. If you follow the advice and example of the author you will find marriage a desirable and an attainable goal.

I highly recommend this book. It is a breath of fresh air amoung the other singles books I have read. Dr. Cook helps you to explore yourself and she teaches you how you can be a better woman, so that God can bring your mate into your life. While most books focus on improving your looks, financial(all important!) she takes it further and talks about your attitude, expectations, and walk with Christ. When she talks about a behavior or attitude that is wrong she is not condemming but has an attitude of care. Because she was single (for a long time)and is now married, she explains why you should change, and how it can be done. If you want to improve your relationships and yourself. get this book.

This book, geared toward single Christian women who want a Christian husband, is a step by step plan that operates under a simple premise: in order to have a Christian, God-sent mate, you must believe in the Lord to send him to you, strictly follow God's scriptures/disciplines, live and conduct yourself in a godly manner and rely or prayer to guide you in the process. She isn't as light-hearted as Michelle Mckinney Hammond, but her maternal tone is just as warm and more effective in some cases. She offers prayers geared toward each affirmation and gives simple exercises as well. For those who are laboring undering the belief that you are doomed to stay single for life, you will take heart in recieving biblically supported advice from a MARRIED woman who has walked the walk, talked the talk and ended up with a loving, Christian husband in the end. I found the book to be an encouraging read and hope that others will find Dr. Cook's words and experiences just as beneficial.
