Reviewed as Print BookI got Preparing to be a HelpMeet because it looked so wonderful even though I’m already a married woman! I got so much inspiration and thought out of this book that applies to my marriage of 5 years. A wonderful read for any woman, single or married. Especially helpful were Debi’s thoughts on prayer in the first chapter. They set my own thoughts onto a more prayerful life, bringing my daily concerns before the Lord, helping to rely on Him in my own life, and bringing others before the Lord. May the Lord hear our prayers!

Reviewed as Print BookI was thrilled when I found out they were creating “Preparing to be a Help Meet” I had read my mom’s copy of “Created to be His Help Meet” and loved it but didn’t know how to apply it to my daily single life. “Preparing” filled in all that unknown knowledge! I read it twice and a year later I started a Bible study (using the study in the back – much appreciated!). Now I am engaged and we are planning a wedding in three months – the principles from “Preparing” have helped me grow spiritually and they continue to do so. Looking forward to a joy filled, Christ centered marriage! Thank you Pearls for these amazing books on the truth!

Reviewed as Print BookThis book was a wonderful read! I appreciated all the practical advice- it was challenging, convicting, encouraging and inspiring! Included in this book were a number of love stories. They each were unique and different, but all beautiful. All of the teaching shared in this book were straight from the Bible, and they can all be applied now in being a single young lady and then carried over into being a wife and helper to your future husband. This book is a very helpful and insightful read that I’d recommend to any and every young lady. Also in the back of this book are questions and a teacher’s guide- perfect for a small group or Bible study.
