Review # 1 was written on 2015-06-30 00:00:00 John Alatorre Look, there's nothing wrong with contrasting Proverbs 7 and Proverbs 31. But don't turn it into a parade of judgement, condemnation, and blaming women for mistakes that are equally the man's (specifically in regard to sexual sin). I'm sure Kassian is a great mom and a nice person, but even in just the introduction she comes off as shaming women who wear makeup and like to keep up their appearance. She also shames people who stumble in their Christian walk. She puts all the responsibility for staying "pure" on the women/girls in relationships and none on the men. This is not what girls need to be reading to teach them to be Christlike. This is teaching girls to judge their peers and their elders, to blame themselves when boys push them for more, and to aspire to a standard that a lot of women and girls, myself included, don't find at all appealing--marriage and motherhood. Paul says when he talks about marriage that while it's better to marry than to burn with passion, marriage (and relationships in general) are NOT to be our primary focus. Our focus is to be on God and on serving him the best we can as we are right now. He also says that marriage is not to be entered into lightly, and that sometimes it is better to remain single. We need to stop teaching girls that the ultimate end they can achieve is to get married and have children. As Christians, our ultimate end is to lead a Christlike and God-pleasing life, bringing Glory to God by our words and deeds. The boys get taught that. Why should girls be different?

Review # 2 was written on 2013-07-01 00:00:00 Sarah Roesler I heard about this book on Moody Radio. I really disliked this book. I found most of the points she tried to make contrived...and solely based on her opinion. I did not trust the author as a narrator or guide as I was constantly required to dissect and analyze every assertion made. Many points were not biblical even when she cited verses. When placed in context, she was stretching The Word much farther than it was intended to go. I was frequently reminded of the adage, "Any fool can make the Bible say anything they want." As I didn't trust her, it made the easy-read, much more difficult. I would not recommend this book for anyone...except maybe a married woman, and then not even with a strong recommendation.
