  I'm going to defer to my best friend's review of this book. She says it much better than I could
  
  "Overall I do recommend this book. The other book by Martha Peace I read and fell in love with was The Excellent Wife and so I had high expectations from her with this book. There were a few areas that caused some need for discernment in my heart and seeking the Lord and His Word as to what He was really saying and found myself in disagreeance with her (see Can We Be Led By Our Feelings? and Identity in Christ and Our Self-Worth ) but this is not an area to be divisive of and not recommend her book on. Martha comes from a writing perspective where she has a great heart to see men and women follow hard after the Lord but often the tone with which she approaches certain aspects can come across as very blunt and harsh without a lot of grace. Black and white with a period at the end. As long as you can remain looking beyond this and see her true heart behind her words then you will get through this book no problem. I think overall the messages and the convictions that sprouted from this book made it a worthwhile read and I would indeed recommend it."

  A dense book full of hard, convicting truth.
  Why am still surprised when wrong assumptions I hold surface in the light of biblical scrutiny?
  I'm with Paul on this one...(Romans 7:24-25).
  
  I need to work through this book again.
  The author has included chapter review questions that would likely prove a beneficial exercise to solidify conviction.

  This is a must-read for every Christ-following women (from their teens up). I have taught five Bible study groups using this book as our homework reading and exercises as a springboard for discussions. I often assign it as homework with my counselees.
  
  Brand new Christ-followers will gain a solid foundation of biblical truth on which to live out their lives. Other Christ-followers will be reminded of solid biblical truth and maybe even learn a few things they don’t already know.
  
  Martha Peace is a masterful writer. She plainly presents and explains biblical truth and then, in very practical ways, helps us understand how to apply those biblical truths in our walk with Christ.
  I love the comparison charts that help us see the difference in our “man-centered” view and a “God-centered view of the Trinitarian God and Scripture, as well as our thoughts, emotions, words, and actions.
  
  I think this is the best book by a Christ-following woman for Christ-following women that I have read.
  
  I highly recommend it!

  This book was recommended by a friend in Biblical Counselling. In turn I recommend it to others. The author Martha Peace has an excellent way of taking very serious matters (such as God's holiness and our own sinful hearts) and invites us to examine what Biblical truth has to say. I found the discussions of different perspectives (psychology vs. religion), medical/physiological, emotional vs. spiritual... all together enlightening. My favorite part are the charts and study questions. Fantastic resources!

  Currently participating/co-leading a study on this book. Although the author's points are truthful and convicting the book itself is dry. But, again full of convicting truths. Our group is committed to finishing this book study.

  This is an excellent Bible study book, meant to be read a little at a time, thought over and discussed. She brings out so many ideas to consider that are so necessary for each one of us.
  
  It reads like PowerPoint slides, however, so if you are looking for smooth reading, this isn't it.
  
  But it addresses in detail those sinful attitudes we tend to have and walks us through biblical processes of how to deal with those attitudes. And that's always good.

  Excelente libro, tanto para un nuevo creyente como para uno maduro; confronta mucho actitudes que viene como resultado de lo qué hay en la corazón, animando a renovar la mente por medio de la palabra. Al inicio el libro empieza como una crítica al cristianismo actual, el cual no es bíblico, luego de la importancia de estudiar las doctrinas y finalmente se vuelve más devocionales al hablar de la aplicación de la palabra. Personalmente se ha vuelto en uno de mis libros favoritos.

  This is a timeless must-read. I read this book when it was published 20 years ago, led a group of women through it more than a decade ago, and then walked through it again with a different group of women (someone else leading). Each time, it's been a convicting, challenging, and encouraging journey. I recommend this to all Christian women. Read it--and if you can, discuss it with other Christian women. Teach the foundational truths within to your children.

  I appreciated the book but found it not very organized and wordy at times . I really did appreciate the chapter on godly character being reflected in a humble heart that desires to obey God, to be content, to be grateful, to be servant hearted and to be forbearing.
  There was still a lot of meat to consider and it motivates me to press on toward the prize of the upward call in Christ Jesus .

  Evidence that all books need not be judged by their covers. This book is a straight shooting, Bible-centered call to arms for women of all stages and ages. I just finished reading with a friend, chapter at a time and am all the better for this book's practical richness.

  Good content, for the most part, but a slow read for me. And a few things she said seemed a little more like “grit your teeth and do it anyway” instead of humbly relying on the grace of Jesus for help.

  overall a good study but a bit dry, and I didn't 100% agree with her on every biblical interpretation. esp enjoyed the last chapters.

  This is an excellent book, solid on Biblical teaching. The study questions help to solidify, as do the chapter conclusions. I particularly found the practical applications very good.
