Book Reviews
"Lesson We Learn From Ruth"

Dear Ms. Gordon,

I like the interaction that you set up between the reader and the book. By providing examples of how to get started with taking control of your life, with the write in sheets, is great. It is like you are saying, "hey, you now have no excuse. I have given you an example and instruction. Now in order to be blessed use what I have given you," which is much like what Jesus did for us.

Overall I enjoyed your book. One thing that I have read and was looking for in your book is, “before dating, who approaches who” which was very informative for me. As you know, a lot of Christian women should know that God has a perfect plan for all of us. To my understanding a man is suppose to find a woman. But many of our women today think that "This is 2004 if I want him, I have to go after him" and this is one of the reasons that women fall into bad relationships. God had a specific order for a reason. Too many women bring shame into their lives by being "men Chasers" instead of "God chasers". May God continue to bless your ministry. Thanks for the book! God Bless.

Comment: Hey Denise I love the website it covers everything! I'm especially touched with your "Daily Word" for the 14th as God had me up reading that very chapter last night! I didn't know why I needed to read it but it brought chills to my skin when I saw it here now I need to have a closer look at it. Thanks for being a mighty woman of God and just letting Him have His way in your life, to God be the glory. Also, I loved the book and think I may need to pull that out again too.

Peace and Blessings, Kimberly
