  <description><![CDATA[<p>Carolyn Mahaney identifies with the challenges facing women in  today's world and meets them with the guidance of God's Word. The  feminine virtues described in Titus 2 have transformed her life and  the lives of countless other women. This book will show you the  appeal of being a woman who lives for God and helps others do the  same.</p>  <p>&quot;Carolyn's warm, practical, biblical, God-centered approach  offers the mature mentoring that women of every age yearn for at  times. For some, <em>Feminine Appeal</em> may be an excellent  stand-in for the mentor they lack right now. For others, it will  wonderfully complement the relationship they have with an older  friend of the Titus 2 sort.&quot;<br/>  - John and Noël Piper, Bethlehem Baptist Church,  Minneapolis</p>  <p>&quot;We love this book! It's a godsend for both wives and their  husbands. It gives women a clear vision of biblical femininity and  shows men what to encourage their wives towards. Carolyn has been a  friend and mentor to Shannon, and we're thrilled that through these  pages she provides women of all ages the same honest, convicting,  and hope-filled guidance.&quot;<br/>  -Joshua and Shannon Harris, author of <em>I Kissed Dating  Goodbye</em></p>  <p>&quot;We'll give this book our ultimate endorsement-we have given it  to all our married daughters! Carolyn offers the kind of godly,  seasoned counsel that is desperately needed by women today. She is  practical, authentic, and biblically based. This book ought to be  required reading for every woman-married or single!&quot;<br/>  -Dennis and Barbara Rainey, Founders, FamilyLife Today</p>  <p><em>&quot;Feminine Appeal</em> has had a huge impact on the women of  our church. Carolyn writes with a wonderful blend of soundness,  encouragement, humility, and practicality that makes this book one  of the best on the market for women desiring to please God in these  most basic and crucial of life callings. <em>Feminine Appeal</em>  has been the single most valuable book on Titus 2 living for women  that I (Connie) have ever read.&quot;<br/>  -Mark and Connie Dever, Capitol Hill Baptist Church, Washington,  D.C.</p>]]></description>

    <![CDATA[<p>Carolyn Mahaney identifies with the challenges facing women in  today's world and meets them with the guidance of God's Word. The  feminine virtues described in Titus 2 have transformed her life and  the lives of countless other women. This book will show you the  appeal of being a woman who lives for God and helps others do the  same.</p>  <p>&quot;Carolyn's warm, practical, biblical, God-centered approach  offers the mature mentoring that women of every age yearn for at  times. For some, <em>Feminine Appeal</em> may be an excellent  stand-in for the mentor they lack right now. For others, it will  wonderfully complement the relationship they have with an older  friend of the Titus 2 sort.&quot;<br/>  - John and Noël Piper, Bethlehem Baptist Church,  Minneapolis</p>  <p>&quot;We love this book! It's a godsend for both wives and their  husbands. It gives women a clear vision of biblical femininity and  shows men what to encourage their wives towards. Carolyn has been a  friend and mentor to Shannon, and we're thrilled that through these  pages she provides women of all ages the same honest, convicting,  and hope-filled guidance.&quot;<br/>  -Joshua and Shannon Harris, author of <em>I Kissed Dating  Goodbye</em></p>  <p>&quot;We'll give this book our ultimate endorsement-we have given it  to all our married daughters! Carolyn offers the kind of godly,  seasoned counsel that is desperately needed by women today. She is  practical, authentic, and biblically based. This book ought to be  required reading for every woman-married or single!&quot;<br/>  -Dennis and Barbara Rainey, Founders, FamilyLife Today</p>  <p><em>&quot;Feminine Appeal</em> has had a huge impact on the women of  our church. Carolyn writes with a wonderful blend of soundness,  encouragement, humility, and practicality that makes this book one  of the best on the market for women desiring to please God in these  most basic and crucial of life callings. <em>Feminine Appeal</em>  has been the single most valuable book on Titus 2 living for women  that I (Connie) have ever read.&quot;<br/>  -Mark and Connie Dever, Capitol Hill Baptist Church, Washington,  D.C.</p>]]>
