A Must Have For All Women.... - This book is an amazing map for the journey of a woman's lifetime. Never has a book so related to women's issues and self esteem. Any woman who has ever wanted to take charge of her life and all she can be really should read this book.

EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED AND MISLED - As a Christian, I was very offended by the views and statements in this book. Sue Patton Thoele (author) states in this book..."Is it possible that we are made in the image of a Mother God, a feminine creator, a divine spiritual essence? We're beginning to accept the answer as yes."
Sue continues to lead her readers into using the divine feminine within and uses what SHE calls "prayer" as a means of overcoming negative emotions. This "prayer" is either directed inward to oneself or to a Mother/Father God, not to God in heaven.
To top it all off, she has one of her chapter topics labeled "bitch". I know that the same points in this section could be made in a much more tasteful way.
If you are considering this book and have any belief in God whatsoever, you may be offended as I was and be very disappointed that you wasted your time and money.

One of the best friends I've ever had! - Years ago I opened this book and recognized myself in too many ways. Through gentle nudging and no nonsence from Sue, I was encouraged to admit "Hey, that's me!", followed by understanding, then action to change. This book changed my life, and continues to do so, as every so often when I can feel myself slipping into self doubt &/or martrydom I pick it up again. I can't lend it out because I have highlighter all through it! But I have sincerely recommended it dozens of times, & will continue to do so.
