Originally when I was offered the opportunity to review this book, I asked one of my “besties” to read it and give me her opinion. You see she is an amazing and beautiful single “holy honey” (as Rebecca St. James would call her) and I thought that she would be the perfect person to read this book. This would have been her first blog post, ever, and well, she bailed on me. Well, not really, but I guess I wasn’t very clear on the expectations of a book review so here I am writing the review.
As a married women, getting ready to celebrate my 8th year of holy matrimony, I didn’t think that I would get much out of this book. Fortunately I found that not to be true. There are a lot of truths that hold true in both our married and single lives.
While reading, I often felt convicted on many of the aspects of dating that the book spoke about. I wasn’t a Christian in my younger years and I dated many of the wrong men at the wrong time in my life. I was particularly interested in the list of major turn offs which I am pretty sure I exhibited all of them in most of my dating life. Honestly after reading this, I am not sure how I ever got married. God must have really been looking out of me and protecting my heart.
In the section on Spiritually Connecting, I really appreciated the focus on how couples need to keep Christ centered and work on building each other up. To focus on creating a supportive and loving relationship in Christ verses each other. It is a good reminder, even for me in my marriage.
Overall, What is He Thinking? was an interesting and enjoyable read. I definitely would recommend this book to all single women who are looking to make more right choices than wrong ones in finding their spouse.

A dating mishap of mine is just not being as open about myself and what I stand for.

My dating mishap is when I was younger. I always was falling for the alcoholics thinking they would change. Wish I knew then things I know now.
I never dated before but am extremely interested in this book. Want to be able to read it before I start dating so I know what to avoid and what I really should do.
