Disciplines of a Godly Woman Paperback – July 31, 2013

Probably the best book I have ever read on for women who want to live Biblical Godly lives. Whether you're single, married, young, or older, or anywhere in between, this book will offer encouragement and insight.

I have really been challenged lately in my lack of discipline in my spiritual life. I have also been surprised at my lack of knowledge in certain parts of this area. I'm not certain why it isn't taught on a regular basis in our churches or ministries, but I really wish it was. Since I knew I needed some extra guidance and study in this area, I was thrilled to see a book specifically on this topic and just for women. It was exactly what I needed to read.This book wasn't a "make me feel good" book. It was challenging and there were parts of it that I wasn't really looking forward to doing. Like a good exercise program, it's sometimes hard to actually lace up those tennis shoes. If found that same problem was true when it came to spiritual disciplines. It requires time and for those of us who are busy (really...who isn't these days...), we have lost the respect for silence and mediation and contemplation that we need to have to help further deepen our relationship with God. The book really required me to be honest with myself.I have the ebook version of this book, but I plan on buying the physical copy because I really want to highlight it and study it. I think it would be a great women's ministry tool. Barbara is constantly pointing her readers back to Scripture and what God says. This is also a book I'd love to use to mentor other women. So much changes when our eyes are focused on godliness and growing in holiness.__________I received this book free from Crossway in exchange for my honest opinion of this book.

The only part I didn't really care for (and please don't base your decision on my opinion about 1 chapter) was Discipline in Singleness. Author gives one view of many for singleness. I'm in a different place and walk in my singleness through my own trials and didn't find much edification in this chapter. I personally didn't care for this chapter, but again, that's just my own perspective. She does mention some things that I did like, but a lot I didn't. Author struggled with this chapter and understandably so, as she has been married for so long. And nothing wrong with that either.I highly recommend this book. So much good Godly things to learn. Great book to study with other women from different walks of life.

Trying to grow or faith or discover who you are? This book is great!

This book is helpful as a reminder of the simple stuff, not a complex read. Also check out disciplines if a godly family & disciplined of a godly man. We used the family edition in small group & man/woman edition for discipleship.

Like the fact that it discusses areas of what’s occurring in life today.

This is Ladies group at church group reading, very enlighting

The author covers a wide variety of biblical disciplines for women. Highly recommend!
