A Look into A Woman's Soul ( is a brilliantly written work filled with depth, perception, honesty, forgiveness, and love. The author "Jordan Austin" has done it, again, with this mystifying look into what many women think, feel, and experience; but yet are never able to fully express. Except Austin has done just that. When asked precisely how she had managed to accomplish this marvel, she had smiled and had intently stated, "It wasn't me. It was through God's power working within me because left to myself, there is no way I could have written anything as truthful, heart-felt, and real as the words that I had put down on the paper." Austin's humbleness is an inspiration in itself. Although many have commented on the "impressive verses, word choice, alliteration," and "unique subject matter" of her poetry; she continues to take no credit for herself, but she continues to offer all glory to God. She said He is and always will be her greatest inspiration. One of her deepest desires is to touch as many people as she is able through her writings; and in doing so, hopefully they will begin their own quest for a deeper and more personal relationship with a God of their understanding. The poems, written in "free verse" range in subject matter from letting go of an "unhealthy relationship" to being a "warrior for God." Although the poems are geared towards the "female" population, there are excerpts that men who are "emotionally mature" enough will absolutely enjoy and come to appreciate and better understand not just the "heart" of any woman in his life, but he also will be given a glimpse into a "true woman of integrity's" soul. The factual life of Austin has been less than perfect, and this "true life" account of some of its deepest, most intimate details are so brilliantly recorded on paper that the reader will know first hand about exactly what the author had been experiencing at the time she had written each poem. Austin has expressed in various interviews that writing is not just something she does, it is more accurately about "what she is." This makes perfect sense after reading just one of her selections. She does not just write words on paper, as the words are intermingled so cleverly that they bring with them a new meaning to what would normally even be the most mundane of topics. She continues to write and to pray that "God" will someday "bless" her by allowing her to be a full-time writer and a "motivational speaker." If this book is any indication of her dreams coming true, it would be safe to say that this one will definitely be the one to do it.
