Chapter 6

I love this book! I purchased it for myself several years ago. Because of Chapter Six-The Pastor's Wife by Michelle Obleton, I gave a copy to my Pastor's Wife. We now have a new Pastor and I plan to give her a copy of Women to Women. The book is older now, but just as relevent as it was twelve years ago, Truth is timeless, inspiring and beautiful. I still own my original copy and use it as a valued reference resource. I would highly reccomend this book to any woman who desires to be a blessing to her family, her community, and gain greater understanding of her sisters in Christ, while maintaining personal integrity.

Excellent read for christian women whether african-am or not

This book is an excellent read for any woman, not just african americans. The book gives insight into the mind of a woman and all that Christian women go through in their daily walk with the Lord. The book acknowledges that even though you are a Christian, there are still issues you face that bring you to the realization that you are still human, and every thing is not magically fixed when you accept the Lord as your personal saviour. I would highly recommend this book and in fact, I am purchasing several copies for Christmas gifts.
