Talk: How to be a Proverbs 31 woman: Does the Proverbs 31 woman sound intimidating? Does she ever rest? How can you even compare? Learning about the historical background of the Proverbs 31 woman and understanding the biblical context of this passage makes the Proverbs 31 woman sound much less daunting. After hearing about the passage's background, you may even say, "Yes, I can be a Proverbs 31 woman!" 

However, not only can you be a Proverbs 31 woman, but you can also be like Mary, of the famous Mary and Marth duo, who sat at the feet of Jesus and learned from him. Combining the truths displayed in both these biblical women--Mary and the Proverbs 31 woman--provides a model for you to serve others and draw closer to God.

There are many tips and tricks that you can use to help the newspaper reporter write an article that will interest readers and compel them to buy your book.
