God Where Is My Boaz: A woman's guide to understanding what's hindering her from receiving the love and man she deserves Paperback – November 4, 2013

You have to buy his books!

I have had brief personal chats with Stephan and I love his style of expressing himself and willingness to help. His continual display of empathy is very uplifting. So, when I see a book by him I must jump right on it.I found this book to be enlightened, compassionate, sincere and insightful for women that is Single and wishing to one day becoming a wife to a man of noble character. Though the book is an easy read, I kept finding myself stopping to digest the concept and to open my mind and heart to change; I actually had to vision what was written. I like seeing scriptures used in writing his book.Many things were a strong confirmation of things I am presently doing or have done, also an eye opening to things I must do!The story of Ruth and Boaz is well known to me with all its detail, he did not tell the story differently than I knew of. What was different is how he applied the story to today's living. He addresses dealing with the pain of the past and heals yourself and loving yourself. I was enticed and delighted because I was one of the Women he spoke up - Waiting for my Mr. Right. Thou I thought I was being active in my desire; I still had more to do. I had to get out of my comfort zone and make myself available was a confirmation of what I just start doing. Also as what I have found uncomfortable in dealing with in realizing how God's path for me maybe not be what I envision or whom. It was real talk about mating and picking the right man for me. I did have to say Amen and laugh many times because he was eliminating many ideas or excuses. Yes, he gave you another way of looking at things or things to consider.Instead of waiting to be a wife, he has me looking at things as thou I am a wife NOW. This has been strange; since I am single and not dating but I get his point (this will be an ongoing process). I really love the section about having a personal relationship with God (not religious). Seeking God in everything we do.I love that he how he laid the book out:The Story of Ruth & BoazYou Must Forgive & Heal, Then You Can LoveYour Way Isn't God's WayYou Expect God to Deliver a Man to Your DoorstepYou're Too Occupied with the Wrong ManYou're too Focused on What You WantGod's Already Sent Your Boaz, You're Not Embracing HimGod Wants You to Focus more on himMore Questions & AnswersPoints to RememberI like how he seems to know what questions will be asked. He has a questions and answers sections after each section. I thought to myself, he does not have my one question listed but yes he did! Yes he spoke on a wide range of things facing Single women. It felt like a brother having a loving heart to heart conversation with his sister about being single, dating and getting married.Thanks I truly enjoy reading this book and found myself rereading it regularly. I had and am making changes in my life. I am a work in progress and the best is yet to come! I feel more empowered than before! Again thanks!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I have followed Stephan on social media for a couple of years but not had the pleasure of getting his books until now. I purchased the audible version but will also be reading it and replaying the audio again. He touched on some issues which really resonate with me as a single woman of God who is abstinent. To be honest, I often say I am in waiting but seriously by putting myself in a waiting process--I may have unknowingly limited myself from meeting potential Godly men for courtship.Also, my shyness with men can get in the way of developing a steady association let alone a friendship. I was raised old fashioned and it makes me feel strange to even greet a man I do not know...because I don't want him thinking I am thirsty (its based off my past experiences). I'm an all or nothing type. My assumption was because I was not willing to have sex before marriage that it was a major barrier to me stabilizing relationships with men I dated and found very attractive with 'good resumes' as Stephan put it. Now, I am reassessing myself. I haven't dated in about two years and do not want my 'prime' to pass by without considering the possibilities. The book could have touched more on developing yourself as a single woman but I think there are SO many books already out focused on that. It is imperative to hear a man's perspective on relationships and especially as they relate to our spirituality and well-being. Stephan is trying to connect to women who strongly desire marriage and feel they have did the right thing (in their hearts anyway) so why no man or God or no man at all? Lol, this book was a God send because it helped me realize I am blessed to be single and to NOT idolize marriage. I don't even care about a wedding anymore, the marriage is crucial! The woman of God should have already prayed concerning if marriage was something she truly desired on her own or if it was a societal pressure. At this point, I would be willing to accept if God has called me to singlehood but God did not call me to singleness. He called me to serve Him and whoever I marry should be doing the same. I had a recurring dream about a counterfeit man coming into my life--he seemed like a perfect catch but he ended up not being the man he presented himself as. God is allowing me this time to get my life together and get my emotions in check. This book also leads me to believe I may have already met the man but I'm not sure if I am ready to accept it...which opens up another issue. Sigh! Well God Bless Stephan for a well-written book...! I will definitely recommend it to my single friends.

I like the book. It has a good message overall. However, what I wish books like these would emphasize on the great opportunities that come with being single and how to cope with the possibility of being single for a lifetime. I may sound like a pessimistic, but I'm tired of focusing wholeheartedly for something that may not be God will for my life. I just want to genuinely enjoy my life without worrying about my future marital status. I hope to have a family on my own. However, this pass year I asked myself how I would I cope with life if I found myself still single ten years down the road despite all my best efforts. I've been single for long time and know others in my same position.It hurt to realize that there a possibility I will never get married. I don't believe in running away from things. So I am looking for books that not prepare you for new husband but also allow you to accept the present. I would like to hear from people who wanted to get married but found themselves single for most of their adult life. I want to hear how they coped with the disappointment of not getting married.

The author of this book gives so much insight on how to navigate the daring world. I have all of his books and I have never been disappointed. It's a must read for singles and for those in relationships and even marriages. We can all use this advice to let us know what we deserve or if the person we're with is right for us.

I have read a few books about relationships but the presentation and guidance in this book comes with compassion and understanding. I will definitely be telling my friends. It’s a must read for all who seek the right person in their life.

Very helpful advice that every woman with or without religion should read. Answers questions honestly and really makes you like at yourself and your actions when you are dating. I wish men would read stuff like this too, sometimes feels like women are the only ones trying to improve relationships and men are making the money off of us as they are the ones writing these books.

Apart from a few grammatical errors e.g using there instead of their, this book is a must read. There are basic but important principles on letting go of the past, hearing God and acting on His word and stepping out in faith. He also talks about living a life worthy of your purpose and general human relationships.We sometimes forget our baggage prevents and clouds is from being open to receive love.Great book

It's a good book to read, makes you think, reflect and evaluate yourself. It's great conditioning for how to carry yourself as a young woman, stay positive in your search and preparation for that special one

Ok read. I had greater expectations but don't think this book went deep enough, felt it tried to cover too many areas. A lot of things I knew or had read elsewhere. Don't feel this book really prepares women to finding their Boaz but gives a sense of hope of the possibility
