Book Review - Title: A Woman After God’s Own Heart by Elizabeth George

After reading Jim George's book titled God's Man of Influence, I was intrigued to find out what other books were written and found this book by Jim’s wife, titled “A Woman After God's Own Heart”. I gave it a read to see if it will be useful for my wife to read as well.

What a discovery! Elizabeth George sets the woman's heart in the following three parts:
(1) The Pursuit of God
(2) The Pursuit of God's Priorities and
(3) The Practice of God's Priorities

From about every chapter of the book, Elizabeth shares her experiences and lessons she had learned through interactions in her ministry as well as in her home. Thereafter, she also points us to biblical examples. She then ends the chapter with practical steps on how to apply the lessons learned. So be prepared to take down notes for review and application.

Elizabeth outlines the pursuit of God’s priorities through setting our hearts aright in the woman’s relationship to her husband, to her children, to her home, to herself and to her ministry. Through these areas, I have noted she somehow covered useful topics like Devotions, Prayer, Obedience, Priority Setting, Personal Development, Parenting, Motherhood, Home Improvement and especially practical steps towards Spiritual Growth.

The book also includes a helpful study guide for personal reflection and application.
