Customer Reviews

Ruth-less

Blessings! I recently purchased the book A MWWF and have since given away several. Everytime I see copies, I buy them all and give them to my girlfriends or pass on to single women. I now know why my first two marriages failed; I chose the men. After reading the book, I realized at one time I lacked the qualities of godly female characters like Ruth. How could I expect a Boaz when I was Ruth-less myself? Now that I have acquired and adapted godly principles, it's time to quit wasting my time with Ruth-less men! I now can get up in the morning and praise God that He gives me the strength to wait for the real Boaz!

Whatever you do, read this book!!

Jackie's book uplifted me so mcuh and gave hope that there are still Boazes out there. I love her contrast between a Bozo and a Boaz. She makes it clear, because as women we can be deceived easily. She writes about how a man's walk needs to line up with his talk, and encourages women to keep their standards high, and don't settle for anything less. She writes about how a man needs to love you as Christ loves the church- sacrificially! Its an amazing read and I would encourage you to buy this amazing book. Its really eye opening.

Moving beyond the Bozo!

Generally speaking, I don't enjoy reading "singles" books because a lot of them tend to be dopey but this book is incredible! I read it a few months ago and within the first few pages, I knew that the words in this book would have a major impact on my life. I was reading about Boaz and Jackie (the author) says that Boaz's are out there, but I was having a hard time believing that. So I kept reading and one day while I was driving I prayed, "Lord, she says that there is a Boaz out there but you have to show him to me because I don't know any!" Almost immediately He impressed upon me, "Why don't you think that I want this for you also? You must be patient and wait on Me." Again that night it was so clear..., "Don't you know that I want this for too? We're on the same team! Trust Me." God has used this book to change me and to help solidify that I'm worth waiting for, that's it's worth waiting for my Boaz and that God and I are on the same side! Can I get an AMEN??? :) All of my single gal-pal's have this book! It's a must read!

Practical Biblical Based Teaching

I loved this book. A great follow up to Lady in Waiting. i wish I would have read it before my first marriage and I could have avoided a very sad divorce. I loved the comments from the different men quoted in the book. It's a must read for all single women who really want to do it God's way.

Important handbook for singes, women AND men

Are you single and looking? You need this book! Most women have had experience with dating losers--or Bozos, as the author calls them--before they finally meet their Mr. Right--or Boaz, as the author calls him. When we date Bozos we all pay the price of the broken hearts, etc. Author Kendall tells us in A Man Worth Waiting For, how the biblical account of Ruth taught her everything she needed to know about what to look for in a mate. She also shares successful stories from other women who have found their Mr. Right and not Mr. Right Now. I wish I would have had this book to read when I was single, wanting to be married. It probably would have saved my family and me a lot of heartache, when I "fell in love" with a Bozo. I'm thankful that relationship ended and God brought a Boaz in my life. This book includes a lot of valuable information about what a young lady should look for in a potential boyfriend/mate. A Man Worth Waiting For is a follow up to Kendall's bestseller Lady in Waiting, which I didn't have the fortune of reading. However, this book is definitely worth reading and is one that I will be saving for my teen daughter--and sons--to read. "Let God write your love story," is wise advice that the author shares. If you or someone you know are looking, and maybe dating Bozo after Bozo, encourage them to get a copy of this book. Discussion questions are included in between chapters, making this ideal for discussion groups. Armchair Interviews says: Males would benefit from reading this book too, so they can learn how to be a Boaz.
