Not for everyone

I hope someone finds this book helpful, but it was not my cup of tea.

This book is a contradiction.

Book states that you should not try to change your husband but change your view. Then proceeds to proide prayers that are geared towards changing the husband instead of the views of one's self. Not impressed.

Disappointed — Not What I Expected from a Christian Book

I really wanted to like this book, but it was deeply disappointing on multiple levels. One of the biggest concerns I had was the way the author placed blame on the wife for her husband’s infidelity. That message is both harmful and unbiblical. Marital betrayal is never the fault of the betrayed spouse.

The book also promotes the idea that you can "manifest" things into reality, which I find troubling. While I do believe that maintaining a positive outlook can influence our attitudes and decisions, the idea that we have the power to manifest outcomes ourselves leans more toward New Age thinking than biblical truth. Only God has the power to bring things into being.

Another major issue was the crude and vulgar language used when discussing intimacy between a husband and wife. It felt unnecessary and inappropriate—especially in a book that claims to come from a Christian perspective.

The audiobook version was particularly frustrating. It used a virtual voice that mispronounced several words, including books of the Bible—likely due to abbreviations in the text that were never corrected. This made it feel poorly edited and careless.

Overall, the book came across as self-promoting and lacked authenticity. I couldn’t finish it and wouldn’t recommend it to anyone looking for genuine, biblically sound encouragement.
