Raising a Lady in Waiting

"Within the pages of this fantastic book, Jackie Kendall passionately delivers with wit and wisdom a framework to help parents usher their princess into the arms of a committed prince, not a court jester.

No fairy tales here, just biblical truth assisting dedicated families through discerning conversations and life skills which hold the potential to impact generations."

- Michele Wetteland Mom of five, children’s author, and wife of New York Yankee World Series MVP, John Wetteland

"A ready resource for all moms as they cheer their daughters on to become girls after God’s own heart. Jackie Kendall passionately equips mothers to fight for the hearts of their girls by sharing key principles which will guide their daughters to make good choices and wait for God’s best."

- DeDe Kendall Elementary assistant principal and co-author of Lady in Waiting for Little Girls

"Jackie Kendall not only teaches this life message of how to guard your daughter from a Bozo and guide her to a Boaz—she also lives and breathes it with all of her inmost being and infectious energy. Jackie’s passion, wisdom, and understanding, combined with her love for young women and her desire to see them walking in the truth of God’s Word, propels this message in her newest book.

This is a must-read for every mom who desires godliness for her daughter!"

- Vicki Rose Author, speaker, and Jackie’s prayer partner for fourteen years; wife of Bill Rose, Limited Partner of the New York Yankees; mother and mother-in-law of two very precious women who waited

"What a perfect read for the parent who yearns for a future Lady In Waiting! As a Christian therapist I regularly attempt to teach my single and divorced ladies to stop looking for Mr. Right but to use the “waiting room” time to focus on their own walk with the Lord.

When a woman learns to love what the Lord loves, how could she help but be drawn to a Boaz who in many ways exemplifies Christ himself ? And when she learns to love what the Lord loves, a Boaz couldn’t help but be attracted to her—a woman whose eyes are fixed on the pleasing the Lord. Only then can we see a true “love story from the Lord.”

These are the principles Jackie so marvelously articulates in her book Raising a Young Lady in Waiting. Jackie’s brilliant knowledge and love for God’s Word, along with her love and devotion for the young women she serves, shines through each page. Parent, grandparent, child-worker—all will be blessed with the words in this book."

"There is simply no greater investment you can download into your daughter’s life than the principles in this book!

Having coached and counseled kids from the teens to the twenties for a quarter of a century, I assure you the anchor holds in these chapters. Besides that, I am living proof, having received one of Jackie’s original manuscripts in 1988. No Boaz has had more prayer than mine. He has been well worth the wait, thanks to Jackie’s teachings!

As the pages turn you will find the time-tested skill set you need to design a Princess for King Jesus—a true Lady in Waiting."

- Theresa A. Gernatt, “Coach Tag” Former Division I basketball player and coach, high school coach, and counselor

"I am so excited for moms everywhere to read this book and begin teaching their girls at a young age the timeless message Jackie teaches in Raising a Lady in Waiting!

Having done Jackie’s original Lady in Waiting study later in life, I can only wish that I had learned these principles at a younger age and avoided much heartache. I have lead the Lady in Waiting Bible study all over the country—with high school girls all the way to adult women—and have been blessed to witness the fruit in so many of their lives as they waited for their “Boaz,” and are now raising children to know and love the Lord."

- Kathy Edwards RN Traveling Nurse in the NICU

"Raising a Lady in Waiting is a must-read for any mom—but then again, I would read the phone book if Jackie wrote it!

Her style of hard-hitting practicality mixed with insightful biblical truth always challenges me. Jackie has taken her decades of Bible study, mixed it with the time-tested truths she laid out in Lady in Waiting, and compiled them into an essential manual for every mom.

This book will never make it to my bookshelf; it will stay prominently positioned on my bedside table as a constant reminder and reference point in raising my daughter to be a Lady in Waiting! The best part: I know that as I guide my daughter through the principles in this book, I’ll be learning and growing myself!"

- Sami Cone Founding blogger at SamiCone.com, Nationally syndicated radio personality, TV’s Frugal Mom, author and conference speaker

"As a mother of two young daughters, and a college softball coach, I am thankful that Jackie Kendall has put to pen what the Lord has laid on her heart to provide a resource to help us encourage our daughters to seek after God’s best for their lives.

Through the pages of this book, women will learn practical ways on how to empower their daughters to boldly pursue a man who will treat them with love and respect, and will truly be their Boaz. I married my Boaz seven years ago, a man of God who honors me and provides an amazing example of how a husband should treat his wife.

I have seen how the principles of Raising a Lady in Waiting guide and inspire young women to wait for God’s best. This book is certain to continue to positively impact lives for future generations!"
