About the Author:
Is your life built on the Rock or on Sinking Sand?
Since founding Restore Ministries International, an online ministry for women, Erin Thiele has touched the hearts of thousands of women around the world. Her love for the Lord, and her dedication to follow the uncompromised Word of God, is evident to all who have read her books, have met her, or have known her personally.
Where have you built your life? Jesus told us that only the lives built on Him, the Rock, will stand when the rains come, not if they come in the form of a sickness or death in your family, financial troubles, or your husband leaving you.
It is our hope that you, through reading this book, will choose to put away the ways of the world and come to know the Lord more intimately by seeking and trusting Him alone in every aspect of your life. Where have you built your life?
Before rebuilding, you must have good blueprints. Your blueprints must be His Word, which you will find in this book. Always read the Scriptures; never skip them. Next, you must find the Cornerstone that everything will be built on. Our Cornerstone is taking Jesus as your Lord, not just your Savior, and then to go beyond joy as you become His beautiful bride. With a renewed mind, the Lord's blueprint, and Him by your side, you will then be able to rebuild your life instead of foolishly building it on sinking sand. Those of you who are sitting amidst rubble because your house has fallen (through infidelity or divorce) really have the advantage. You are motivated to begin to rebuild your life. This is where I was when I first began writing the book for women. It was painful for me, but it was worth every tear I ever cried!

A Wise Woman workbook—so much help and hope!

Restored After Our Divorce
I found this book thoroughly amazing because I finally got to see the mistakes I was making. This book is a must for every woman after the Restore Your Marriage book. Praise God, I am now restored AFTER our divorce!
★★★★★
Learning to Be a Godly Wife
I recommend this book to anyone who is married or who ever wants to be married. It helped me learn how to be a godly wife. So many of the principles can be applied to all of our relationships, not just our marriage. The biblical principles in it were new to me because I had been so diluted by the ways of the world.

A Workbook That Helps You Do His Word
The workbook is truly a workbook! At the end of each chapter, you have questions and homework, which helps you become not only a hearer but also a doer of His Word. The testimonies keep you encouraged that things can work out for the good. There are a lot of Scripture verses for you to jot down on note cards and keep handy to help you maintain your faith as you are going through your trial. This helped me know that GOD will prevail and that He will give us the desires of our hearts in due time. PTL!

Timeless Principles for Every Wise Woman
The Wise Woman and
Restore Your Marriage principles are
TIMELESS and must not be viewed as a “one-time,
got that part done” type of thing, but as an
ongoing, INTEGRAL part of every WISE WOMAN’S life!
The Lord showed me the other day that the reason
my restoration was stalled and eventually
destroyed back in ’08–’09 was because I was not
RENEWING MY MIND with the Wise Woman principles.
Like any test, you must be prepared and study the
RIGHT material in order to PASS, or you will fail
as I did.
Of course, our tests in life never end, even when
our families are restored. We must constantly be
in the Word, in season and out of season, studying
to show ourselves approved—a workman who does not
need to be ASHAMED. Perhaps that is why so many
women walk in shame: because we are not renewing
our minds and cleansing ourselves with His Word.

Wearing My Ring in Faith
This is my first praise report ever! Today I put
back on my finger the alliance ring he once gave
me. I lost my wedding ring a long time ago. My
husband left in November—there was another
woman—and later divorced me without me signing
the papers.
Since then, I have started to read
A Wise Woman. Yesterday I read about
DOING the Word, not just BELIEVING it! So I put
on my ring to DO and to show what I believe in:
our restoration in God’s time. There is still a
lot to be done in me, but I NEVER expected to be
where I am at this point!
Glory to God! I am actually working with God
toward a restored marriage! Who would have
guessed? Thanks also for my wonderful ePartner
from Florida. I pray she is safe!
★★★★★
Becoming a Helper Suitable
I was reading A Wise Woman when the Lord
prompted me to reread the chapter “Helper
Suitable.” Crying, I told God that my desire is
to be a helper suitable for my husband. I asked
Him to break and remake me into the helper He
created.
On Monday, my husband asked if I could make dinner
for the family! Later that week, he asked if I
could make him lunch! Before my husband moved out,
I hated cooking. I did it with resentment, but God
is breaking and remaking me. Praise the Lord!
★★★★★
Hope and a New Relationship With My Father
I would definitely recommend this resource, as God has used Erin in a way that is shedding light and saving so many marriages from destruction today. Erin’s humility and transparency have given me hope and opened the door for me to experience my Father in Heaven in a whole new capacity!
★★★★★
A Book for Women From All Walks of Life
This is truly a perfect book for all women—single
or married, young or old, widowed or barren, and
women from all walks of life. Had I known about
these principles before, I could have been in a
better position and had a better relationship
with our Lord.
God is a forgiving God, and it is never too late.
God loves us so much that He gave His only Son.
With that said, God accepts us at any minute of
the day! By following His precepts, we are all in
perfect Hands!
★★★★★
A Must-Read for Women
I think this is a must-read for any woman with children or any newlywed. It helps women seek God for every aspect of their lives, including work, home, husbands, and children.
★★★★★
A Life-Transforming Book
The book A Wise Woman Builds Her House: By a Fool Who First Built on Sinking Sand is life-transforming. I recommend this book to any woman who can read. Because it has been directed by our Lord and is filled with so many Scripture references and so much encouragement, it can only bless those who read it. I am very thankful it was recommended to me.
★★★★★
Build Your House on the Rock
I would recommend A Wise Woman to help women build their houses on the Rock, the Word of God; to have a quiet and gentle spirit; to be won without a word; and to have kindness on their tongues.
★★★★★
A Guide for Women, Young and Old
I would recommend this book to all women, young
and old. This is a guide for women to experience
the Lord in ways that many women who attend
church every Sunday never do.
This book has really opened my eyes to the truths
of the Word of God. It showed me how easily the
world’s ideas about women and how they should be
can creep into your life. I see this happening
even among Christians.
“Therefore, everyone who hears these Words of Mine and acts upon them,
may be compared to the wise, who built their house upon the Rock.
And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew,
and burst against that house; and yet it did not fall,
for it had been founded upon the Rock.”
