About the Book:
The Beautiful Wife uses these inspiring stories along with biblical principles to guide and encourage any wife looking for God's best in her marriage. The Beautiful Wife answers serious questions women have about their roles as wives. Discussing everything from romance and money to beauty, communication, and sex, Sandy challenges women to open up and share their journeys so that together they can see God's plan for their marriages. "It is my passion to help women discover God's heart for their marriage, just as the other women helped me," writes Sandy. "When women share with each other the details of their journeys with God as wives, it's a beautiful thing indeed." The Beautiful Wife has two companion resources - Prayer Journal and Mentor's Guide.

My Thoughts:
I can not tell you how blessed I feel after reviewing this Bible Study. I love the way Sandy writes, as if she knows me and is speaking right to me. So much so I have several times wondered if she can some how read minds (or maybe my house is bugged)! Seriously though, I have not been able to join a Women's Bible Study for quite a few years now. But The Beautiful Wife Study has made me want to start up a Summer Bible Study at my house for my Homeschool Mama's!
I have to say I think Chapter 11: Professionalizing the Role of Wife and Mother - may have spoke to me the most. Sandy's "The Professional Wife's Strategy For Success" covers: Talking to Your Boss (God), Determine a Vision for Your Role as a Wife, Develop a Plan of Action, Get an Education, and Find a Mentor. She even has one for "The Professional Mother"! As a career girl turned stay at home mom and then homeschooling mama - I absolutely LOVE this chapter!
I not only had the privilege of reviewing The Beautiful Wife Bible Study, but the Mentor's Guide and Prayer Journal as well. WOW!!! The Mentor's Guide does an amazing job of really breaking it down and helping you as a Bible Study Leader. If you are just doing it on your own I highly recommend the Prayer Journal - well either way you should have it! Sandy breaks down prayers for you, your hubby and your marriage - plus leaves room for you to write down your answers to prayer!
I highly recommend this Study to any woman how is married or engaged to be married! If your church or small group hasn't discovered it yet - you need to show it to them! I know we could ALL absorb so much from Sandy's Study!
