It
is very difficult to translate English into Japanese. This
tremendous task has been done by Kiyoko Oka. She has also
served as my representative to the publisher and will represent
me with the classes. Kiyoko first heard of Fascinating
Womanhood while traveling in Europe. Someone had given her the
book in English, she read it and was favorable impressed. She
wrote to me wanting to know of the possibilities of getting it
translated and published in Japan. This opened a correspondence
in which I asked her to try to find a major publisher there
with the hope it would lead to something. The outcome was that
her husband had a friend who was a publisher and this soon led
to a contract with Cosmo 21 and Kiyoko become the translator.
Korea:
About a year ago a literary agency in Korea, The Eric Yang
Agency, wrote to me with an interest in finding a publisher in
Korea. This lead to a contract with the publishing company, Jae
Cheon, to translate and publish Fascinating Womanhood in Korea.
I have received word that the first edition of Fascinating
Womanhood in Korea will be on the market about June lst.
In February I received an inquiry from another literary agency
in Korea, Duram Kim Agency, with an interest in finding a
publisher in Korea for The Fascinating Girl. They have found a
publisher who has offered a contract and I have accepted their
terms. I am getting very curious about what is awakening
interest in that country. So far I don’t have a clue except
that we are likely receiving divine help, prompted by the many
deserving Korean women in need of this knowledge. Hopefully we
can begin classes soon in that country.
Spanish:
We are completely sold out of the Spanish edition of FW. I know
there are many Spanish women waiting for the new edition to be
published. Please be patient. The translation is almost
complete. It is being translated in the 1991 edition of FW and
that has taken a lot of time but it will be worth it.
Publishing it will also take time but it is all in progress.
Russia
and Indonesia: The translating and publishing in those two
countries seems to have come to a halt. We will have to seek
divine help to open doors there.
North
Pole, Alaska: Believe it or not we have a newly authorized
teacher in North Pole Alaska. And yes, there is actually a
small community in Alaska called North Pole. The Post Office
gets hundreds of letters every Christmas addressed to Santa
Claus - from kids everywhere - and the entire town enjoys
making something of it. Our teacher in North Pole is Nikki
Hunter. How about writing something about this far away place,
Nikki and let us know what life is like there and how you feel
about Fascinating Womanhood.

Comments from
Grateful Students
Hello from Japan:
“I was very impressed to read the Japanese translation of
Fascinating Womanhood. And I really appreciate you for letting
me know this precious wisdom without which no one will know
where our married life will go. I also want to tell my friends
about this book. It will be a great help to all of us. I think
these are really important teachings to form the basics of our
human happiness, including our health and raising our kids
properly. I am also surprised to know that this universal
wisdom for happiness is the same all over the world, no matter
what background or culture we are from. I will try to join the
online class. I am pretty excited about this. God bless you”
Naoko Andou, Japan
“Sandy’s online
class has given me insight, wisdom and the courage to stick
with the concepts. We have had our problems but now I look at
them as being my fault, my weaknesses that caused them. Some of
our more serious problems are his fault. I can’t change that
fact but now I understand that I can change myself and that is
the basis for all positive changes. This class has been a joy
and a booster for me to hang in there. And it has been a
delight to have found other women on the same path. All of you
have had a hand in teaching and a compliment to Sandy’s
abilities as a teacher.”
“Your teachings
should be a part of every high school, like home economics. If
young ladies knew how to handle difficult situations and
understood men, it would be more valuable than geometry and
science. And it’s not too late to teach older women. I would
love to be a part of teaching this wonderful way of life. It
would be such an honor to help women enrich their lives and
save their marriages before it’s too late. I tell women to
not think about leaving their husbands – don’t! It’s a
jungle out there. Fix your marriages. The grass isn’t greener
over there. Now I’ll be able to help them know how to make it
work.”
Important Notice: All Fascinating
Womanhood teachers, both offline and online, must be authorized
to teach Fascinating Womanhood by Helen Andelin or an appointed
assistant in the main FW office. If your teaching permission
has expired and you definitely plan to teach, or to continue to
teach a class, email our main office and request a renewal of
your permission to teach. Please do not apply for a permission
to teach Fascinating Womanhood unless you are seriously
planning to do so. We do not want just a large number teachers.
We would rather have a small group of seriously dedicated
teachers. If you have questions please call our main office at
1-800-890-1750.
Discussions: Due to popular demand, the
Discussions will be re-instated early next month. Mrs. Andelin
will participate, as she has time, and you will have the
opportunity to discuss the FW principles with her and each
other. There will be rules: When a visitor expresses strong
opposition to our teachings, her remarks will be placed in a
special box called "Sticks and Stones" and you will
have the opportunity to defend the FW point of view. When a
visitor presents a topic not related to the teachings of FW, it
will be placed in a box called, "Off the Subject."
Participation in the Discussions will require no username, no
password and no fee. I invite you to join women all over the
world and enjoy our common bond of a career in marriage and the
home. .
