praying for your future husband

Yay!  I finally finished the book:D  I am honored to be reviewing this book and I am super excited!  So with that, I'll get started on the review:)

Praying for Your Future Husband
by Robin Jones Gunn and Tricia Goyer
(copyright 2011,  207 pages)

Wow, where do I start?  This is one of my top favorite devotional books!  I love both Robin's and Tricia's writing styles.  They make me smile:)
This devotion has thirteen wonderful chapters; each with a few paragraphs of Robin and Tricia's "love stories" (yes, their past and present love lives), many Bible verses and famous quotes, other girls' love stories, group questions, and finally a prayer for your future husband and yourself. 

I recommend this not just to teenage girls who are waiting for their Prince Charming, but to any single women out there!  This is the book to get for your best friend, granddaughter, daughter, niece, or small group.  Hands down, a must have.

Before I read this book, I didn't really pray for my future husband.  I guess I thought it was kind of pointless; why pray for someone I don't even know yet?  Besides, God would make it all come together for my future husband and me.  I don't need to pray for him now.... or do I?  

Now that I have read this book, I have a completely different point of view.  I should be praying for my future husband!  I should be praying that he follows God day in and day out, and that he'll save himself for me someday!  I never realized how really important this is until I read this book. 

So if you are pondering your Prince Charming, read this book!  Not only has it changed my point of view, but it has better prepared me for the future.  I really do believe that God is weaving my future husband's and my lives together as I type this out :)  

For those of you who have read the Christy Miller series (and if you haven't you must read them!), remember when Christy started writing letters to her future husband and put them in an old shoe box and stuck them under her bed.....?  Well, I just happen to be doing that, now!  I cannot wait to share these letters with "him" after we're married :D  I just can't!  I actually feel like I'm talking to him in some sort of way (it makes me feel all warm and bubbly inside *smile/giggle*).

Hey, guess what?  Robin wants to let you guys to read the first chapter of Praying for Your Future Husband!  It's totally free, and totally worth your time:)  Check it out here

I love you my dear friends!  It was nice chatting with you:)  So long lovelies *hugs/kisses*
