Disciplines of a Godly Woman [Hughes, Barbara] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Disciplines of a Godly Woman Review: Great book - The only part I didn't really care for (and please don't base your decision on my opinion about 1 chapter) was Discipline in Singleness. Author gives one view of many for singleness. I'm in a different place and walk in my singleness through my own trials and didn't find much edification in this chapter. I personally didn't care for this chapter, but again, that's just my own perspective. She does mention some things that I did like, but a lot I didn't. Author struggled with this chapter and understandably so, as she has been married for so long. And nothing wrong with that either. I highly recommend this book. So much good Godly things to learn. Great book to study with other women from different walks of life. Review: Great book for a subject not taught on a lot - I have really been challenged lately in my lack of discipline in my spiritual life. I have also been surprised at my lack of knowledge in certain parts of this area. I'm not certain why it isn't taught on a regular basis in our churches or ministries, but I really wish it was. Since I knew I needed some extra guidance and study in this area, I was thrilled to see a book specifically on this topic and just for women. It was exactly what I needed to read. This book wasn't a "make me feel good" book. It was challenging and there were parts of it that I wasn't really looking forward to doing. Like a good exercise program, it's sometimes hard to actually lace up those tennis shoes. If found that same problem was true when it came to spiritual disciplines. It requires time and for those of us who are busy (really...who isn't these days...), we have lost the respect for silence and mediation and contemplation that we need to have to help further deepen our relationship with God. The book really required me to be honest with myself. I have the ebook version of this book, but I plan on buying the physical copy because I really want to highlight it and study it. I think it would be a great women's ministry tool. Barbara is constantly pointing her readers back to Scripture and what God says. This is also a book I'd love to use to mentor other women. So much changes when our eyes are focused on godliness and growing in holiness. __________ I received this book free from Crossway in exchange for my honest opinion of this book.

Good for younger women as well as older
I read this book as part of a women's Bible study group. I was a little unsure at first since it is written by a women older than I, and I was unsure if I would be able to relate. I must have forgotten that the Bible is timeless!! This book is written with the Bible breathed in every sentence. Every chapter is relatable no matter how old you are or what life stage you are in. I HIGHLY recommend this book to any woman learning more about living a Godly life. It exposed some topics that I would have never thought about and highlighted others that I needed clarity on. GREAT read!

The best book for women who want help to live Biblical Godly lives
Probably the best book I have ever read on for women who want to live Biblical Godly lives. Whether you're single, married, young, or older, or anywhere in between, this book will offer encouragement and insight.

Beautiful beautiful book! I’m only halfway through but I would highly recommend to anybody looking to deepen their relationships with Christ, learn how to stay disciplined as a daughter of the Most High, and who isn’t afraid to be clocked!!!

When you try an author you have never read before, you never know what you will get. With this book you will get something unexpected and exceptional. It is not always a comfortable read, but it is grounded in Scripture and is an excellent resource for personal use or group use. It would be great for disciplining women in the church. I bought more copies for friends and a copy for the church library, as I intend to keep my copy and read it again.
