Review # 1 was written on 2010-03-25 00:00:00 Crystal Cline Okay, so I hesitated in buying this book. It reminded me, based on title alone, of that popular piece of chic-lit that came out a few years ago - The Girls' Guide to Hunting and Fishing. I never read that book - just never interested me - so I hesitated on this one. But I'm glad I read it. The full title is Wilderness Skills for Women: How to Survive Heartbreak and other Full-Blow Meltdowns by Marian Jordan, and well, I've been in one of those heart-break-ish, wilderness-y places for a few weeks now. It seemed this was the time to pick up this title. The basic premise is that Jones gives women advice on how to survive those times when it seems the around us has come apart in every way. Using Christian Scripture as her guide, she commiserates, gives me permission to grieve my pain, and encourages me to trust in the One who promises nothing but good. To be truthful, I think Jones would probably drive me crazy in real life - she's over-witty, if you know what I mean, and likes to use cliches a little too much for my taste. But the truth is I really appreciated her insights. More than that, though, I appreciated knowing I was not alone in this pain. She was really good at conveying that. So if you're in a time of trial or know a woman who is, this is a good read.

God was at work and His sovereign plan was unfolding before Joseph's brothers even began to plot his murder. God, in His wisdom and sovereignty, ordained that the caravan bound for Egypt would cross their path just in time to rescue Joseph from facing death. Perfect timing. Not too late and not too early. God has a purpose for Joseph's life, so what seemed like rejection was God's protection. If that is the case, then the same applies to me." -Marian Jordan Pg 46
