Another helpful book by Michelle

If you want to prepare yourself for the godly man the Lord will send you (or has sent you) read this book. To be a single woman Michelle has an outstanding view of relationships from a woman of God view. Well worth reading.

Totally beneficial for life's questions on gender roles.

Even though In Search of the Proverbs 31 Mans' main focus is to understand and emphasize the male role in life, the author explores the perspective of both female and male points of view for a well rounded look at our different callings. Biblical characters are researched and treated as real people to more explicitly explain the gender roles. After reading this book you will know where you stand in line with God, man or woman. This book is one of the best relationship books ever written! Everybody should get at least one chance to read it. It can only be beneficial to the soul. It is very well written, to keep the readers attention. The author knows her bible very well and has done her research.

Have a relationship w/God; know yourself, what you desire...

If you have read the previous works of Ms. Hammond, have a true relationship with God, know something about yourself and what you desire in a godly mate, then this book will assist you in clarifying what you need. It will also bring clarity to your role in the relationship whether you're male or female. With discernment you are able to identify which information applies to you, even if you are without your mate. This is an excellent book for single males, females and a definite must for godly couples. God has a purpose for the marriage relationship. Here Ms. Hammond helps us to begin to grasp His concept.

Great Reading for Men and Women!

So much has been shared about the Proverbs 31 woman. This "superwoman" has intimidated many women through the years. Often readers forget the Proverbs 31 woman had a very supportive husband. In verse 28 it says, "Her children respect and bless her; her husband joins in with words of praise (The Message; emphasis mine)."In her latest book, In Search of the Proverbs 31 Man, Michelle McKinney Hammond goes through a list of characteristics a Proverbs 31 man should possess. Unlike some of her other relationship books, this one was not written with just one particular group in mind. Men and women whether married or single will benefit from the principles addressed. Some principles seem unattainable, but Michelle emphasizes God strengthens people through the Holy Spirit to fulfill their current or future roles as Proverbs 31 mates. Thought-provoking reflections and further study ideas are provided at the end of each chapter for each gender and couples. This was a well laid out and thoughtful book. The book is definitely not just for men or single women in search of a mate. For those who have been married for a while the principles presented will serve as a reminder "nothing is impossible" with God.

Finally, the book all Godly women have been praying for!

The Proverbs 31 woman is the proverbial standard that most women strive to be - yet sometimes secretly cringe at how far they have to go to meet the standard. What about the mate to this awesome woman of God? Is he just hiding out under her shadow? Or is he the leader, protector and provider who "has got it going on" - if so, how did he get there? In Search of the Proverbs 31 Man: The One God Approves and Women Want (WaterBrook) is the synopsis of what author Michelle McKinney found in her search of the scriptures. Her lyrical writing style digs into God's Word to see what the Proverbs 31 man had to do in order to nab the Proverbs 31 woman. Which came first the chicken or the egg? To Hammond, it doesn't matter. She writes to men and women, single and married encouraging them to reflect the image of God. "There are many dimensions of man that must be developed in order for him to become the extraordinary man whom every woman seeks and whom God smiles upon," says Hammond. In Search The Proverbs 31 Man affirms the God-like qualities men aspire to have: integrity, purpose, faithfulness, diligence, kindness, wisdom and an intimate relationship with God - and makes it all so simple and achievable. This book also helps women understand their role in the process. For women, this book is like the companion to Hammond's other book, The Power of Femininity. For men, it's like a constant faith builder and blueprint for successful relationships. ***** Submitted by Pamela Perry for www.goodgirlbookclubonline.com The GOOD GIRL Book Club
