Customer Reviews

Anything by Paul Rinehart is going to touch you!

This is the third title I have read by Paula Rinehart. I have come to the conclusion that anything she writes is going to impact my life and challenge the way I live. I wish I had read this one 30 years ago! I recommend it to all women of all age over 18!

Challenging yet comforting read

This was a fabulous book. The author takes a realistic, relatable stance on the effects of casual sex or casual intimacy on the heart, mind and soul of a woman, outside the safe parameters of marriage. Although she writes from the Christian prespective, the points and message of this book can be relatable to anyone, especially those broken by yet another failed relationship and who suffer a broken heart. It reads as if you are having a "heart to heart" with a friend with whom you feel completely safe and whose honesty comes from love, not condemnation. the best part: she offers solutions. You just have to be brave enough to take her input to heart and act on it.

This book really hits at the heart of the problem!

After getting caught up in the world of casual sex and realizing how empty and lonely living that lifestyle was making me, I was looking for a book that didn't minimize the woman's desire for sex. I didn't blame my lifestyle on male influences. I had chosen it because it made me feel good, at least for the moment. But after realizing the more permanent effects, I wanted out. Paula Rinehart addresses the woman as a sexual being and teaches her the value and pleasure and deep joy that can come from guarding her sexuality. Many other books I read either focused on the Biblical laws or portrayed the woman as a victim of the man. I highly recommend this book!!! I hope it blesses you as much as it has blessed me.

WONDERFUL BOOK-A MUST READ FOR ALL WOMEN

I loved this book. It said exactly what I have been feeling for years, but wasn't quite sure how to put into words. It really helped me get through the junk I had been dealing with from past relationships and the struggles I was having because of that. I would recommend this book to any woman looking for advice on how to regain her femininity without losing her sexuality. A great resource and a must have for any bookshelf.

Heal a wounded heart...

This is the book! You will learn how to deal with your sexual past and how to move forward and restore your virginity! Amazing! "Sex and the Soul of a Woman" speaks to God's grace. It has transformed me and given me a new perspective on future relationships with men. I also now have the courage to hold true to my convictions.
