This book is awesome!!! It is VERY well written and intelligent. Not only does it capture the beautiful picture of singleness and purity for young women, but it is personable and can be related too- even if you are already in a relationship. It is in no way "preachy," but filled with God's love and emotion. It is a well thought out concept and is written in an intriguing way that young people, like myself, will enjoy reading.
I have read a lot of relationship and purity books, namely Josh Harris's books 'I Kissed Dating Goodbye' and 'Boy Meets Girl'. These books were totally written for young people and excellent. One thing that I wished for however when reading Josh Harris's books was a book that showed a woman's perspective of the subjects of marriage, dating, purity and so on (because although for men and women, I felt the books were more for young men, because it was a man's perspective for the majority)...Well, I can honestly say that 'Ready For Him Today' was the book I was hoping for!! I compare its outline to Josh Harris's books, as well as the honesty and open way the author writes. It is almost like the author opens her heart to her readers and ministers to them through truth, reality checks, and Biblical encouragement. It really focuses strongly on us young girls and what we go through...
It is an excellent read for any woman who questioned her singleness and has a desire for more of a relationship with God...it really gives you strength to wait and prepare for Him and His will in your life- whatever that might be!!
I know the author personally. Her book is real and true- and she lives what she writes. It will make you think, look at your heart, question your own emotions on many subjects.... I wish there was a Bible study guide to go with it!! Great tool to strengthen yourself, daughter, sister, friend...even my mom enjoyed reading it!!! It is beyond excellent!!! If you want to buy a book that helps you with preparing wisely for the future- buy this one!!!!

I've read a lot of books "for single young women" and have found most of them unhelpful, at best. Sometimes it's because I don't find that the author has much credibility on the subject (written by someone who married at age 18?). Or it's because the book is just not very practical or applicable to everyday life. Or it's because the author comes across, intentionally or unintentionally, as someone who has it all figured out and has never struggled with any of the things we weak folk who require such a book do. Or it's because a book that purports to be about singleness is actually focused on that inevitable day when you will, of course, get married, and the only question is what to do with yourself until that day.
Here, finally, is a book that's about what it claims to be about - living in a way that honors God now, while single, regardless of whether you get married or not. Here is an author who is honest about her own lack of perfection (in a way that rings painfully true with this reader) and the fact that she doesn't always have a pat and perfect answer. Here is a book full of both good doctrine and practical application. Here is an author whose goal is to honor and serve God with her whole life ... and to lovingly encourage me to do the same.
