• "As a young woman, Carolyn McCulley eagerly embraced many of the tenets of our 'feminist world.' A personal encounter with Christ radically changed her life and led her to pursue what it means to live as a redeemed woman. This book is the fruit of her journey. Her keen observations and thoughtful analysis explain the seismic shift brought about in our culture by the feminist revolution. Her biblical insight makes this a valuable resource for women who want to fulfill their created mission and live out the radical implications of the Gospel in a fallen world."—Nancy Leigh DeMoss 
• "Carolyn was once deeply influenced by feminist thinking, but came to see the bankruptcy of that worldview. She wants you to understand why much of what women learn about what it means to be a woman in today's culture (whether it is taught in college, read or heard via the media, or assumed in society) leads to a dead end. More importantly, she wants you to know why the Bible's view of womanhood inspires joy and peace."—J. Ligon Duncan
• It’s an excellent read and stirring challenge!—Mary A. Kassian
• "Carolyn McCulley is a gifted communicator and a careful student of Scripture and of the feminist movement. She's also delightful. I thank God for her ministry!"—Mark Dever
• "Carolyn McCulley is a great speaker with a radical idea—that the Biblical understanding of womanhood is a radical vision that confounds the culture and conveys grace. She is a Biblical voice for the recovery of Biblical womanhood."—Albert Mohler 
• "Few voices are speaking the truth contained in these pages—but so many need to hear it. Amidst our culture's radical confusion about womanhood, Carolyn teaches the radical truth of God's wise and gracious design for women."—Carolyn and CJ Mahaney
• Radical Womanhood is a subversive message of a better way for women. With courage, clarity, history and stories that stick, Carolyn delicately dismantles the shrines of feminism with the glories of biblical femininity.—Dave Harvey
• Carolyn McCulley combines solid research along with engaging personal testimony (her own and that of others) to give a clear picture of feminism’s influence over the past two centuries. Carolyn traces the first, second, and third waves of feminist ideology, and discusses how these ideas have influenced all of us more than we might have ever known. The foundation of this discussion is God’s Word, and Carolyn regularly demonstrates how God’s eternal truth is the answer to feminism’s questions and confusion.—Bruce and Jodi Ware
• "...Her recent book, Radical Womanhood: Feminine Faith in a Feminist World, is an answer to the questions she had when she was first introduced to biblical womanhood. As a product of the feminist influence in women's studies programs she wrestled through God's design for men and women. It is clear in this book that God has distinctly equipped and shaped her to evaluate our culture and point us to the Gospel."—CBMW 
• "In this well-researched and provocative book, McCulley examines the history of feminism, exposes the overtly anti-Christian beliefs held by many feminist activists, and explores the impact feminism exerts on contemporary society. As she scrutinizes today’s social mores in light of biblical teaching, she paints a picture of womanhood that is radically different from both the culture and many presupposed ideas of what’s expected of Christian women. Fascinating testimonies and McCulley’s personal writing style transform what could have been an academic tome into a profoundly inspirational guide. This is a much-needed book that will transform a woman’s thinking about herself and her world."—CBA Retailers+Resources
• This is a book that needs to be read by all women—and by men too!—Iain Duguid

• "Young girls grow up dreaming of wedding days and the births of children, but for many women in this particular generation, those days may never materialize.  Ask ten people why they think that is and you will have ten different answers.  Carolyn McCulley's Did I Kiss Marriage Goodbye? will not offer any answers either.  What she does offer is a healthy heaping of biblical encouragement for women who desire to live to the glory of God while waiting for Mr. Right. For the Christian married woman with children, the calling and tasks are obvious.  She finds satisfaction and joy in fulfilling her roles as wife and mother as described in the Bible.  But what about the single woman?   Is a never-married woman less feminine than her married, procreating counterparts?  McCulley explains that femininity is God-given, not activity driven.  'Our femininity is not dependent on marriage or motherhood to be fully expressed.  We are feminine from the moment we are conceived because that is God's design, and He has a purpose for our femininity throughout the various seasons of our lives' (p.51).   This is one reason this book is a good read for any woman, never-married, married, divorced or widowed.  McCulley addresses biblical, fruitful femininity, with a specific emphasis on the never-married woman.  She addresses three important areas of a single woman's life:  her relationship with God, her relationships with men, and her life in general. . . Being a married woman with four children, I surprised myself highlighting as much as I did.  I learned a little something about what to teach my sons to look for in a virtuous wife and what to teach my daughters as I prepare them for courting and marriage.  At the end of each chapter, McCulley includes a helpful list of books and articles for further study, which I plan to utilize.  If you are a single woman, no matter your age or stage of life, and would like to read more about trusting God and glorifying Him during your time of singleness, then I highly recommend Did I Kiss Marriage Goodbye?"—Discerning Reader
• “Carolyn McCulley pierces right to the heart of single women in this excellent study on God’s plans and purposes for singlehood. Drawing from her own longing as a forty-year-old single woman, she describes singleness as a gift most people would rather do without, but which holds unexpected blessing. Don’t look here for advice on finding a husband. McCulley teaches women to treat all guys as brothers in Christ, not dividing them into possibilities, just friends, and “I’d rather not even talk to him!” While sympathizing with the pain single women feel, she pulls readers beyond their pity parties to see the real potential of singlehood. Following instruction found in the life of the Proverbs 31 woman, McCulley shows readers the importance of guarding their hearts, being hospitable, and finding ways to interact with children. Other topics include finances, service, and growing older. Chapters contain many examples from the author’s own life and others’, increasing the book’s readability amid otherwise serious prose. Joshua Harris, the author’s pastor, wrote the foreword and came up with the unique parody title. Recommended for single women who are looking for more than just the right guy to come along.”—Christian Book Previews
• “This is one of the most honest, heartfelt books on being single you’ll ever read.   Carolyn McCulley knows how it feels to be a single woman…she views it as a gift from God that allows her to perform a unique role in the body of Christ. “Why aren’t I married?” isn’t the question to ask,” says Carolyn, “because it implies lack.” The essential question is, “What is God doing with and through my singleness?” With refreshing candor, she reminds us that God is working in our lives. He wants us to live to the fullest of the gift of being single, pouring His gift into the church…the place and people He loves.  We encourage every single woman to read this book to be greatly blessed with a new sense of purpose in life.”—Crossings club review
• “McCulley, a 40-something still-single woman, offers hope to fellow nonmarrieds who question their worth outside the roles of wife and mom and who wonder if God's forgotten about them. Using biblical examples of the single woman's role, she encourages readers to see their singleness not as a burden, but as a unique gifting and role in the church.”—Today's Christian Woman magazine
• “McCulley's book, which includes a foreword by best-selling author Joshua Harris, affirms single women without decrying the institution or goal of Christ-centered marriage. The author teaches that 'your singleness is not about you,' a message rarely heard in this generation. Biblical and contemporary illustrations are used to demonstrate the value of following God's path and trusting Him step-by-step, whether that means a wedding in the future or not. With her sense of humor intact and without taking a cookie-cutter approach to the issue, McCulley offers a breath of fresh air to single women in their God-given 'current assignment.'”—Christian Retailing magazine
• “This book is one of the most biblical, substantive, and helpful resources I am aware of on this topic.

I am confident that every woman who reads this book will be greatly blessed, challenged, and encouraged.”—Nancy Leigh DeMoss, author, host of Revive Our Hearts

• "Did I Kiss Marriage Goodbye? is an insightful and cross-centered look at faithful obedience lived out in a life spent in singleness. Carolyn McCulley doesn't mince words about the real struggles singles face, but she won't leave you in despair, either. Instead, she consistently focuses on the gospel and the good news that soon there will be a wedding ceremony where the sorrows and disappointments of this life will be swallowed up in unbounded joy. In the meantime, though, happiness and delight can be yours as you learn how to pick up the basin and the towel and rejoice in the fellowship of believers."—Elyse Fitzpatrick, author, founder of Women Helping Women Ministries
