When Women Walk Alone

It's been inspiring and great insight in helping me grow in my walk with God and in my continued ever growing relationship with Him.

I ordered this book and the 31-day devotional for myself and 2 friends. I enjoyed this book. Easy to read and applicable. I had thought of passing my copy on to someone else when finished, but I think I will add it to my home library instead.

Here's a review of this book from a (former) single-mom: WOW! This book is so on the mark. Only inspiration from the Holy Spirit can truly explain how Ms. McMenamin has been able to illustrate the experience of women who find themselves alone (in one way or another)ao accuratley. Cindi has a good grasp on scriputal principles, and so this is a book that I use for my Single Mothers' Support Group/ Bible study. I have devleoped supplemental study guides for each chapter that my group member have found to be helpful. We have truly enjoyed the book, and found it to be helpful toward the Spiritual Formation of many of the group members.

Cindi has written another remarkable book. Like "Heart Hunger" her focus is on the personal loving relationship we can have with God. She also includes lots of Scripture to assure the reader that this is not "psychobabble" but her words have solid spiritual grounding. What is new with this book is the hours Cindi has spent interviewing women who have walked alone or are walking alone. Some of the women share their answers and discoveries. Others describe what their alone-ness feels like and the questions that they have. Additionally Cindi looks hard at Deborah, Hagar, Leah and other women in the Bible to see what their lives have to tell us.This is a practical and spiritual book about women who are alone: single parent, single woman, married to a nonbeliever, married to a believer but missing that idealic "couple worship" time, alone in a difficult trial, restless for something different, a dreamer with little or no suppot but a definite call from God for a ministry.Cindi explores the pain, the reasons, the benefits, the growth, the messages, etc. of being alone. Things I surely had not considered. I feel prepared for the next inevitable time I encounter a time when I feel alone by circumstances or not feeling understood by anyone. I feel prepared to help other women I know who are looking for some Christian counsel. I was also encouraged to hear other women talk about the difficulties of being alone and knowing that I was not the only woman that felt some of these things. Her final chapter about making "alone" time to be with God was very on the mark and a good finale!
