Customer Reviews

This book helped me!

I had just departed from a 5 yr relationship when I read this. It set my feet on a higher spiritual plateau. The title of the book was deceiving (as most of her titles) and had me thinking I was on my way to my next relationship. However, it set my sights on not just the right man, but THE MAN, the Lord! It was refreshing, empowering and encouraging. Despite the fact that Mckinney has never been married do not let that discourage you. She comes from the only knowledge that matters and that is the WORD. Everyone has not been destined to get/be married; also, who else to minister to someone except the one who is in the same season with you...what an encouragement. Its such a catch 22 - to always hear women bemoan their singlehood and not having a mate but they have not excelled in the principle things (that is delighting themselves in the Lord and learning to please Him.) What an embarrassment to God for women/men to continuously pursue a thing so much that we forget about all He has blessed us with and who He is and the provisions He made and the great love He has for us to send Jesus to die for us. Its like saying "Lord, you are not enough, you haven't done enough" and throwing a temper tantrum...ok, off my soapbox - sorry. Back to the book, it helped me to fall more deeply and more intimately in love with the Lord. Another book that helped me with this is McKinney's book - The Secrets of an Irresistible Woman A MUST READ.

Every single, Christian woman should read this book!

Excellent book! Michelle McKinney-Hammond is a very down-to-earth writer. Reading her book made me feel like she was talking directly to me over a cup of coffee. The content is very encouraging for single Christian women who worry about finding "Mr. Right" before their ovaries dry up!

WOW - this is a must for every single woman!

I am not an avid reader and so a book must grab my attention in the first couple of pages or it's on the shelf - this one got me on the introduction! I read the first 3 chapters without stopping (not even for bathroom breaks!). Michelle tells it like it is and brings scripture to light for the single woman. She shows you why failed relationships should never have been started, giving you the motivation to get your life on track with God so when the 'right bus' comes along, you'll be ready for it. I highly recommend this book to single women of all ages! I even bought another book to give a friend so I can re-read mine again!

Wake Up Call!

Michelle McKinney Hammond is truly inspired by God! She brought up so many 'issues' I needed to address in my life. The book was bought, by a friend, for my birthday. It is the best present ever! After being a widow at 17 and three failed marriages.... I finally understand that what I was looking for in a man...can only be found when I surrender to God. No man can fulfill the need in me, only God can do that. THANK YOU MICHELLE FOR FOLLOWING YOUR CALLING! MANY HAVE BEEN BLESSED BECAUSE OF YOU!

The Best One Yet

Michelle's new book is her best yet. She lays out the terms on which we can choose to work with God as He brings about the best in our lives. If we work with God, He'll make sure the right bus stops on time, and doesn't pass us by! We can decide whether to submit our actions to a higher authority, or we can pretty much choose to go our own way, which will result in missed connections!
