My sister (19) and I(16) have read your AMAZING book and it has helped us not just as young ladies but as future wives and mothers. Everything said in the book touched our hearts in a special way. The illustrations and stories definitely made it more personal and helped us understand the concept more. The list, you gave, of things to do to prepare have been more useful than you could know.We both have personally taken on the ' challenge'. Just recently we both took turns staying for four days each with a lady whose husband was out of the country for two weeks. We not only kept house, but also helped cook, taught school and went grocery shopping. We got to experience a true mother's role. These past two weeks have been more beneficial for our future motherhood than anything, thanks to your suggestions. Our next goal is to save money to buy groceries for a family and also to make our own clothes. Sareena is looking into starting an herb garden, and I am looking into learning home remedies and first aid. We just really wanted to tell you just how much your book and words have impacted our lives. We have greatly appreciated our book and share it with our friends every chance we get. We are still soaking in all the information and taking it all to heart. Thank you for what you are doing to help young ladies prepare for their future lives. May God continue to use you greatly. Thanks, again. In Christ's love, Sareena and Siarra P.S. I ( Siarra) have had the pleasure of meeting one of your employees, Kirsten, and she was so encouraging to me. I am now praying about getting together a 'Preparing' bible study in our church. Please keep us in your prayers, as you all are in our's. Mrs. Pearl,Hi.

I also ordered a case the books of created and wait on God's lead to give them to who he wants and we are now going to order another case of created...I was so excited for these books and didn't even bother just ordering one because I was SURE I would love these and thought it so wonderful to have literature to hand to girls who weren't married yet! I got them just last week and immediately began reading...My husband was hesitant on me reading it because I was already married...but I told him I wanted to read what I was going to hand out...as I was reading, I became confused...I had a time in the past where my Pastor actually told me to leave my Husband, who wasn't my Husband at the time, but he was into some trouble and someone who I beleived was good even though...I beleived in the Power of God and that my husband was called by God even though he was held captive to the world...Anyways he is in Prison now but serves the Lord with such a Pure heart! I praise God for him and who he is now is who I have seen from the very beginning! It's a very long story but finally I married him despite all people and my fears had to say about him and trust in the Lord...Well when I was obedient to my Pastor there was a single assistant youth pastor who came to the church and something inside of me wondered if God was bringing someone better in and I had to let go of the other...but this Man, my Husband, was chosen by GOD to be my Husband...Or I should say I was chosen by GOD to be his Wife!..Anyways I felt like I did it the wrong way when I read the first chapter of your love story with your husband and it brought up those memories which hurt my husbands heart and he then Got protective...I do have to say I wasn't LED by God to order the case of preparing but I was wanting them...and my Husband went along with it because we trusted you for the many other teachings we have read from you...I wish I could have read the rest of that book...but My husband asked me a question and I can't lie...He asked me if I would have read that before we married would I have married him and I said probably not because I would have been going against what you were teaching in the beginning as to go to seek godly counsel...I'm still a little confused and have this question roaming through my mind, were you LED by God to write this book or did others just want you to write it...you know ideas flowing about from eachother...it makes me so sad! The Lord has used you to be such a blessing to me and my husband and many others which I have passed along created...I so badly want to read prepared but I do not have the blessing from my Husband to do so and I am also a little afraid to read it due to being misled...I understand the jist of it that you are to spend your time preparing to be a help meet way before you meet your Husband as in Proverbs it says she brings her husband Good and not harm ALL the days of her life which I beleive start from the very first breath you take and not the day you become married...Please write back and pray that if this is truly from God and pure and not from wrong motives that my Husband would be led to bless me to read it and again purchase a case to pass out to do God Will! God bless you Abundantly and please let me know...were you truly led by God? I truly do love your teachings!

When I first heard that you were writing it, I couldn't wait until it was done, and when I saw it at our local homeschool conference, my sister and I bought it right away. I finished reading it in two days, and am very excited about what I have read. It is very practical and I am looking forward to reading it again, this time taking notes and taking action on the things I'm learning. I am twenty, so this is very timely.

My husband bought it for me for my birthday and I have been devouring it!!! I don't know how to put this... I mean no offense in any way... on page 51, the word "priest" is misspelled... just know that this book is very much appreciated by both my husband & I. Our marriage has been blessed because of Created... and your obedience to God's Word--- and my husband has mentioned that he had noticed a difference!!!

Tue, 27 Apr 2010 00:50:22 +0000 http://new.nogreaterjoy.org/?post_type=articles&p=8460#comment-2774 I have to agree with Sara. While I'm thrilled to know that there is now a book of sound advice preparing ladies for marriage, I cannot help but to feel burdened with the thought that marital success depends entirely on the wife's right behavior. I liked "Created" but was left wondering "where are the teachers who are willing to set the men straight?" I hope that "Preparing" will be candid enough to tell single women that sometimes the man you *think* you married isn't what he seems at all, and that the uphill climb that lies ahead is often lonely and perilous. And even doing all the right things as a wife is no guarantee that your husband won't persist in being selfish or downright mean. I wish "Created" had addressed that more. I have to agree with Sara.
