Summary: Best book I've read so far on this topic for women
Review: A great book just to read, or to use as a Bible study. Elizabeth George writes beautifully to women of the Christian faith. This book, when used with the study guide in the back, is one that really helps women to know how to love God in all circumstances, and how to rely on him through the day to day. Nothing short of spectacular.

Summary: Life-Changing Book
Review: I've spent a lot of my life being held captive by Giant Despair. This book brought me hope, help, and refreshment. If you have ever struggled with the "If only" of the past, the "What if" of the future, or the "It wasn't supposed to be like this!" of the present, you will enjoy this book.

Summary: In the Midst of a Storm
Review: It wasn't until I came upon a trying situation that I started to read this book that I had for 3 years. It has changed my attitude during my VERY difficult situation. Let me share with you an excerpt that has meant so much: "There is nothing--no circumstance, no trouble, no testing--that can ever touch me until, first of all it has gone past God and past Christ, right through to me. If it has come this far, it has come with a great purpose, which I may not understand at the moment. But as I refuse to become panicky, as I lift up my eyes to Him and accept it as coming from the throne of God for some great purpose of blessing to my own heart, no sorrow will ever disturb me, no trial will ever disarm me, no circumstance will cause me to fret--for I shall rest in the joy of what my Lord is--That is the rest of victory." No matter what I'm facing, I know that if I continue in His will, I will only come out a winner.

Summary: Another good book from Elizabeth George
Review: Please use extreme discernment and wisdom in reading this book. It comes from an extreme Calvanistic point of view and although there are many good lessons to be learned from the studied scriptures, they are primarily based from a wrong foundation and on OPINION. If you are one who practices calvanism, then this is the book for you but from a Christian foundational standpoint, it is misleading and false. Just because someone says they are a Christian and writes a book based on scripture does not make it true. Be careful what you read! The only true author is God himself!! Kristine Simon

Summary: A Must-Read for Christians
Review: This book is written for women, but I am just one of many men who have benefited greatly from Elizabeth George's fantastic first work, Loving God With All Your Mind. In her own gentle way, Elizabeth takes us on a journey through her own personal struggle with depression. Unlike most self-help bestsellers, George isnt' content to leave the reader depressed just like she wasn't content to say depressed herself. Instead, she takes us on the same journey through Scripture to find lasting, life-changing answers. It wasn't until I read Loving God With All Your Mind that I realize how much control we have over our mind. We don't have to be besieged by worry and fear. We don't have to live in bondage to the opinions of others. We don't have to operate in a bubble of our own self-consciousness. Christians can rise above this by yielding their minds to the Holy Spirit. If you never read any other Christian book, read Elizabeth George's excellent classic, Loving God With All Your Mind. Make a permanent place for it on your nightstand.

Summary: A MUST READ!
Review: This is a book for all Christian women who truly want to deepen their walk with Christ and learn to love Him more. I believe that we could all be better examples after applying the principles that Elizabeth gives us by allowing Christ to live His life through us.
