Found this book in Goodwill and the title intrigued me. I cannot say I read anything that I haven’t read before but overall the information was biblically based so I can’t complain about that. Don’t think I’d 10/10 recommend it *kanye shrug

There were some encouraging stories. Some of the ideas were a little dated, but overall, I thought that what she had to say made a lot of sense.

I was very encouraged and challenged by this book. Mrs. Pool is straight forward, doesn't beat about the bush, and gives practical advice about what to do and pray for while waiting for the one God has in store for us.

Of course, there were things I didn't agree with. For one, I don't believe dating is O.K. Spending intimate time (yes, just going to dinner... alone) with different men in succession just isn't God's plan, IMO. It can lead to something else, even without the two intending it to. But, as in everything else, God convicts each of us.

At the back there are several testimonies, but the women are in their late thirties to forties. So this book is more for single middle-aged women. Still, it was a overall great encouragement!

This is an excellent book in that the author gives the reader a substantial amount of step-by-step THINGS you can do as you wait for your man.

One of the biggest things I did not agree with, was dating -- even when the author sincerely and earnestly advises against sex out of marriage, etc.

Also, the idea that "blind dates" are OK... if they are in a family setting, that's fine, but not out on your own.

Overall, this book is geared more towards single Christian women who are either single mothers or out of a divorce.
