This book is just what I needed! I love the truths that Nicki Koziarz pulls from the Bible for us to apply to our daily lives. This was a much needed reminder for me.

This is one of those books EVERY woman should read. I believe at some level or another, we all battle with comparison. Nicki invites her readers to study the lives of two well known women of the Bible: Rachel and Leah, two sisters married to the same man, battling to gain his undivided affection. She has a talent of dissecting the Scriptures and helping her readers to apply it to our everyday lives. This book will make you take an honest look at your life and encourage you to be delighted in who God has created you to be.

I loved this book! I just adore Nicki’s writing style. She makes her books feel like an easy conversation with a friend, even on the hard subjects. She couples that with Bible knowledge and research in a way that understandable to the average reader. You definitely won’t be disappointed in this book.

In Why Her?, Nicki tackles the issue of comparison through the story of sisters, Rachel and Leah. Nicki gives us personal stories that we can all identify in ourselves. She has summaries at the end of each chapter to reinforce what was discussed. Reading this book helped me identify how much comparing I do in my own life, and didn’t realize I was doing it. It demonstrated how it engrained in our culture and how following the Biblical teachings we can break the cycle. I look forward to completing the Bible study in order to delve even deeper.

It was such a pleasure to read this book.
First, I participate in a P31 online bible study on this book and i was provoked to reconsider my attitude. It’s so easy to get involved in the comparison trap.
The book enlightened my view on relationships.
The story of Leah and Rahel is uncovered and the author comes up with a 5 truths you should learn them by heart:
1. You need to be honest
2. See it like it really is
3. You don’t always have to be okay
4. You didn’t do anything wrong
5. Her gain is not your loss

The writing style of Nicki Koziarz is captivating and it made me feel like she was talking right to me.
I would definetely recommend her book!

I received a book from the publisher, B&H, for my honest review.
This was an awesome read. Nicki's writing style is enjoyable and easy to relate to. Comparison is something every woman faces and Nicki does an awesome job of writing about the “6 truths we need to hear when measuring up leaves us falling behind.” Nicki uses examples from her life and also the story of Rachel and Leah from the Old Testament. This was a book you definitely needed to read!

This was the exact thing I needed to read. Ms. Koziarz used personal anecdotes to weave biblical truths into her book “Why Her?” And it worked seamlessly.
As women, especially, we find ourselves playing the comparison game and it’s just not fair. It’s not fair to us or others.
With humor, humility, and heart. Ms. Koziarz told it like it is. She used scripture to back up each of her truths and laid it out simply for the reader in the context of Rachel and Leah and the love God had for each of them.
On a personal note, I can’t tell you how much this book has helped me. I struggle with jealousy and insecurities just as much as the next person. And this book helped put things in perspective for me. I’ll be coming back to this one often.

I loved Why Her?. Nicki has a wonderful way of helping you grow closer to God. We all at some time measure ourselves or our husband's or our children to others, but God loves us for who we are.

If you struggle with feelings of inadequacy and jealousy due to unfavorable self-comparisons with others (i.e., you feel like you can never quite measure up the standards of someone else), than Why Her contains a message that you need to hear!

Through highly transparent stories of the struggles that she has gone through in her life, Nicki authentically conveys what it’s like to struggle with these issues – and shares the biblical story of Rachel and Leah (two sisters married to the same guy!) to teach us 6 truths that will help us to transform our lives.
Once I started reading Why Her, I could not put this book down.

I highly recommend this book to you!

I was excited to read this book but was underwhelmed. There are definitely some nuggets of truth and important stuff in this book but you must dig for it. Dig through fluff, endless “have mercy’s”, and the author just trying to force humor. However, I know plenty of women who will LOVE this book.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for letting me read and review this book.

This was a great read! An encouraging message of perseverance and pushing through when things get hard. There is beauty when we don’t give up!

I liked the idea of this book a bit better than the actual book, since i felt as if the author took a bit of a preaching tone throughout this book that i don't enjoy.
I like it when authors try to show the reader their side of the argument/discussion, try to get the reader to see their side and even come over their idea of thinking. BUT i hate it when i feel as if the author pushes their ideas onto me.
And sadly that is exactly what i felt in/with this book!

I am however sure that this book has a lot of readers that will love how the author did and wrote this book!

As always, Nicki Koziarz encouraged as she led me in "Why Her?". One of the reasons for choosing this book was her authenticity. She does not disappoint, as she leads us closer into God's Word and helps us realize the freedom found in discontinuing comparing ourselves to anyone else. No one's life is picture perfect. Koziarz in "Why Her?" was wonderful!

Beyond poignant for all. There is nobody who wouldn't stand to gain something from this book, because we all compare ourselves to others whether or not we intend to. Nicki Koziarz knocks it out of the park again, adding true vulnerability with sparks of reality checks throughout. I found myself in these pages a lot - but then I realized that it wasn't because I was bad (nope, just human).

Sorry this book just is not for me. I struggle as much with comparisons probably as the next person, having many chronic health problems, but most my questions come down to do I trust Gods sovereignty.... after all whoever compares has no understanding. Reading this book, I read more discouraging thoughts and wrongs ways of thinking than right. I just don't want to think like the author so I don't want to read anymore of it. If someone struggled with complaining, a book filled with examples of reasons to complain wouldnt be as constructive as a book about being thankful for example, the complaining would be automatically helped. Some people may already think like her and maybe will be reassured that they are not alone but I wonder if there is even enough good to outweigh the negative comments. Not for me.

n this book, Nicki presents six truths learned from Rachel and Leah of the Bible to help us avoid feeling less than from playing the comparison game. Each of the six truths spoke to my heart, but especially truth six. I love how she points out that instead of comparing ourselves, let’s learn from each other. My eyes were opened through this book to things in my life of which I was not even aware. Highly recommend.

I really loved this book and was provided this copy from the publisher in exchange for being a member of the launch team.

We are all uniquely made but we all get so caught up in comparison. We are so hard on ourselves as women. Always looking somewhere else and trying to measure ourselves by those standards and gifts instead of what God put in each one of us.
The author does a great job of sharing ways to stop comparing and begin to walk in who God created you to be. We all need some wisdom and guidance in this area.
This is a must read for all women.
I received a eARC copy from net gallery and this is my honest opinion

This is a great companion to the bible study by the same name. I had never done a bible study on Jacob, Rachel and Leah before. I never thought deeply about their predicament and the relationship issues involved.

I liked that the author was transparent in what she shared in reference to measuring up to others. I found this insightful, helpful and had me look at this story and scripture with fresh eyes. I highly recommend this book and the bible study.

This book focuses on an area that can be a problem that we don’t like to admit that we have—comparing ourselves with others. This can affect even Christian women at all stages of their lives.

To help us understand this struggle more clearly, Nicki Koziarz leads us through the story of Leah and Rachel. As we study their lives in detail, it helps us to see more clearly how comparison can be a silent problem in our own lives. The author also uses examples from her own life in ways that she’s struggled with comparing herself to others, and gives encouraging steps to help us more clearly see God’s goodness and purpose in our own stories. I enjoyed reading this thoughtful study on this topic.
