I am a wife, mother and national speaker who has authored 17 books, including "When Women Walk Alone," "Drama Free" and my most recent, "12 Ways to Experience More with Your Husband."

Through my speaking across the country, personal discipleship of women, and writing and teaching, I strive to help women find strength for their soul through a more intimate relationship with Jesus Christ. Once they realize He is the Only One who satisfies, life takes a new, exciting twist. We can then take our frustrations and turn them into a deeper desire for God.

I live in Southern California with my husband of 30 years. We have an daughter who works for the Walt Disney Company.

I love writing, reading, outdoor activities and Jazzercise!

I am blessed beyond meausure to have read this book. I knew it would probably challenge me, but I am overwhelmed with the messages I received. So many parts talked to my heart. One of my favorite quotes from the book was live life with the man you love, not with the man you THINK he should be. Isn't that profound when you stop to think about it. I really thought about the part where Cindi talks about how much we might be praying to God to change our husbands, and when he isn't changing, that is God saying it is US he wants to change.

I loved the acronyms as well. C-H-E-E-R will be stuck in my head and heart, as well as the ABC's. I can't wait to come up with some of my own!

I have been singing the praises about this book for a long time. I am planning on re-reading over and over. I know my husband and family will be greatly blessed by the changes that are taking place in my heart and attitude. I think most of us know these things, but it is good to read them and put them into practice. Sometimes in our daily lives, we forget about what our purpose really is.

I looked up all of the other books as well and can't wait to read them too! Read this book, you WILL be blessed beyond measure.

I can confidently say that it was a transformative read. This book is undoubtedly a gem for any woman seeking to enhance her role as a partner in her relationship.

From cover to cover, I found myself absorbing a wealth of knowledge and wisdom. One of the standout qualities of this book is its directness. The author communicates her message in a clear and concise manner, making it easy to grasp and apply the principles outlined within.

It's important to note that "When a Woman Inspires Her Husband" is written from a Christian perspective. As someone who is not Christian, I was pleasantly surprised by how the teachings were presented in a universal and relatable way. Despite the religious perspective, the overarching themes of love, respect, and partnership are universally applicable.

In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend "When a Woman Inspires Her Husband" to any woman who seeks to become the encourager, motivator, inspiration, and admiration behind her man. Regardless of religious affiliation, the insights shared in this book are invaluable and have the potential to empower any woman to become a partner her husband would truly cherish and be genuinely grateful for.

It took me 2 years to read this short book because it was so unenjoyably. The book assumed that every wife was a stay at home wife. I work full time. I leave for work before my husband and half the time return home after him. Sorry I am not also going to be able to get dinner on the table and our home looking great. And what's this about having more manly smelling candles. My husband is the one who buys and lights all the candles. And none of them are "manly" smelling (lots of flower scents). It your not a stay at home wife and mom, don't read this book.

Great read! Very Biblically based and encouraging to not just survive in marriage but thrive and submit to, love, respect, and come along side your husband. Gave me some great tools for bettering myself as a wife.

This book was written specifically for me and my situation and it has taught me so much and allowed me to become a better girlfriend. I'll definitely keep it for when I get married and slack in inspiring my man. Thank you Cindi
