Victorious Women  is the long-awaited sequel to Virginia’s popular women’s book, On the Other Side of the Garden. Most of its chapters are based on letters she has received since the release of her first book.  Women wrote to share how God had changed their lives through Biblical womanhood.  Virginia soon realized that the victories, struggles, and questions expressed must be shared with others.  She believes the joy over what God has accomplished in the lives of these ladies will inspire others to look to Him for the victory in their own lives. While On The Other Side of the Garden presents the principles of Biblical Womanhood, Victorious Women, produces many practical real-life applications.

A few of the subjects addressed in this book are:

• The secret to Biblical womanhood – trust in God

• How not to be affected by your husband’s moods

• A woman’s words – uplifting or undermining

• The super-woman syndrome

• Victory over financial worries

• Dealing with unfaithfulness and the victory of forgiveness

Testimonials/Endorsements:

"This book has been a wonderful resource of Biblical wisdom for me. Virginia explains how our words and actions are powerful displays of our trust, or lack of trust, in our husbands. We can truly build someone up, or tear them down with a few words. Not only was this bit of wisdom helpful in my marriage, but with my friends and family as well. This principle made me re-evaluate how self-centered I could be (even if it was unwittingly) with my words. Virginia illustrates this principle, and many others with real life stories in an applicable and easy-to-read format."

Some women are not going to like this book! But it doesn't really matter what we "like" or not. What matters is that the book is Biblically sound and the author has done a wonderful job addressing issues such as perfectionism, how to speak to your husband, financial worries, forgiveness in the marriage, etc. While I don't agree with every single thing she has written, I admit that it's quite possible that I have not matured to the point in my own marriage and life that I'm willing to accept what she has written. The tone is sweet and gentle while her admonishments and advice are shared in a caring manner, not in a judgmental, harsh way. This book definitely deserves five stars and I would highly recommend it to any married woman - young or old - or any young lady about to be married.
