Learning to be a complete woman

This book is wonderful because it not only helps to give you a different perspective into the life of the Proverbs 31 Woman, but also gives you wonderful and practical ways to apply these verses to your own life. I thought for many years that this passage was something I could never live up to because of the way it has been taught. Gundry shows you how to take care of your family, as well as your self. I have never read a book about wives, mothers, women and been allowed to think about and care for myself as well. This is a refreshing look at the Proverbs 31 Woman. Because of this book I want to be more domestic in ways of planting food and cooking more and making things that could be easily purchased at the grocery store because they are better and the rewards of doing it with my hands are more than I could ever have imagined. Please read and discuss and share this book.

Common Sense and Practical

"The Complete Woman" is a real life practical book for women just beginning to affirm themselves and their capabilities. Patterned after the woman in Proverbs 31 Gundry uses the term whole or strong to describe what God calls women to be. She deals with a multitude of subjects, earning money to retirement investments, working at home and outside home, trusting yourself, balancing living with perfectionism, reclaiming work's value and much more. This book is ideal for women who won't call themselves egalitarians, but live out the same common sense values. (This review was previously published in "Daughters of Sarah" Mar/Apr 1987.)
