Customer Reviews

a must for women!!!

this is one of my all time favorite books ever!! I have read it many times and led a small group discussion with other women. I found challenge and strength and help in its pages and think Paula is a woman of great strength with an immensely tender heart. Her ability to empathize and yet challenge us to change and grow is a rare gift. You will be blessed if you give this book and its content a place to work in your life.

Strong Study for Willing Hearts

As a Bible study leader in women's ministry this is the kind of book/resource we pray God will lead us to. We are using it for summer Bible study and the impact has been very powerful. Paula Rinehart encourages us to fearlessly explore the places we have been in our lives and discover how God can use our experiences to impact positive change and grow closer to God. Paula teaches us to understand that God can, and will, use sorrow and suffering to make us Strong Women with Soft Hearts. The resources, quotes and study questions are fantastic. Through our tears, smiles and laughter our study group is richly blessed by Paula's words.

this is a great book and very peaceful to read. loved reading it

This book deserves an "Oprah" audience.

This just may be one of the most impactful books by a woman for women that I've ever read. It's not likely to be an "Oprah" pick, but it deserves that kind of audience. If you're a woman who's caught up in doing to much and feeling too little, you owe it to yourself to read "Strong Women, Soft Hearts." You might just recapture a little of the passion, hope and honesty that the world and its cares manage to squeeze out of most of us over time. It's "Braveheart" for us girls. Don't miss it!

If you loved The Sacred Romance, you are in for a treat!

If you loved the Sacred Romance, you are in for a treat with this new book, which I endorse as my personal "Book of the Year" Paula may be the most gifted woman writer of our day, up there with Philip Yancy in insight, honesty and beautiful use of the language. It's perfect for a small group study or book club as well, asking deeper questions of the soul -- leading to discussions you won't easily forget.
