I really enjoyed this book! It was one of the first self-help/inspirational books that I picked up. I read it for the first time years ago, and I still find myself re-reading it and referencing back from time to time. Michelle McKinney Hammond does a great job connecting with the reader. Its a short read, with study questions for self-reflection and improvement. Something I carry in my purse!

There are good snippets of information that was new to me. While there was more 'sound bites' I've heard before...the reference to scripture, thought provoking questions at the end of each section and end of the book check list were invaluable. Overall good lessons on how to be the Proverbs 31 woman.

Great Analysis of Proverbs 31 Woman

In each chapter I found myself. I read my feelings good and bad. I found that I wasn't alone and I received biblical direction.
