"If we fail to choose it, by default we choose ingratitude. Once allowed into the heart, ingratitude does not come by itself, but with other seedy companions that only succeed in stealing joy. Derived from a popular Revive Our Hearts radio series, Choosing Gratitude: Your Journey to Joy challenges and equips the reader to live a life of intention, a life based on thankfulness for the freedom Christ has provided and for the blessings of others."--

¿Qué es la sabiduría y por qué es importante en la vida de cada mujer? Los libros de consejos para manejar los retos de la vida diaria encabezan las listas de libros más vendidos cada año, incluso cuando gran parte de la "sabiduría" que ofrecen resulta superficial a largo plazo. Las personas, sin embargo, buscan consejos prácticos y perdurables, y el libro de Proverbios es el lugar más sabio para comenzar. Analizando el libro de Proverbios, Lydia Brownback muestra cómo la Biblia aborda cuestiones de la vida real como el dinero, la pureza, el matrimonio y la rutina diaria. Escrito en un tono familiar y lleno de la experiencia de una maestra bíblica del calibre de Lydia Brownback, Mujeres sabias enseña a las mujeres de hoy cómo adquirir la sabiduría verdadera, conociendo mejor al propio Autor de la sabiduría y poniendo en práctica la riqueza de sus consejos más relevantes. Incluye guía de estudio ideal para la reflexión personal o el estudio en grupo. El problema para muchas de nosotras es que queremos una fórmula de tres sencillos pasos hacia la buena vida. Por esta misma razón, a menudo nos es mucho más fácil digerir una lectura rápida y fácil que tomarnos el tiempo para profundizar en la Palabra de Dios. No "tenemos tiempo" para conocer a Dios. "Tal vez mañana", pensamos; hoy sólo queremos algunos consejos sobre cómo minimizar el estrés, equilibrar el presupuesto y lograr que los niños se porten bien. Un vistazo al libro de Proverbios nos muestra justo lo que parecemos necesitar: instrucciones breves y concisas en anuncios tipo "X" (antes Twitter). Sin embargo, si abordamos Proverbios con una mentalidad de solución rápida, perderemos el punto general del libro: conocer y aprender a amar al Autor de la sabiduría. Sólo a través de conocer y amar a Dios (lo que Proverbios llama "el temor de Jehová") entenderemos cómo aplicar sus instrucciones prácticas. Las mujeres necesitamos consejos prácticos para la vida, pero aún más que eso, necesitamos corazones puestos en Aquel que gobierna todos nuestros aspectos prácticos. El libro de Proverbios abre la clave para ambos. Su sabiduría es eterna. En tus manos hay un libro sobre la sabiduría que se puede extraer del libro de Proverbios. Encontrarás nueve capítulos divididos en tres partes que puedes leer sola o en un grupo pequeño. Al final encontrarás una guía de estudio. Parte 1, ¿Qué es la sabiduría y por qué es importante? Parte 2, Seis cosas que las mujeres saben Parte 3, El retrato de una mujer How the Book of Proverbs Speaks to Everything Advice books are no short-lived trend, even though much of the advice parading as "wisdom" proves shallow in the long run. What we need is biblical wisdom, and even more than that we need hearts set on the One who governs all our practicalities. The book of Proverbs unlocks the key to both, helping us to face very real challenges such as: handling our freedom, independence, and material resources wisely keeping ourselves sexually pure practicing biblical femininity in a world that scorns us for it sustaining God-glorifying marriages elevating biblical priorities ahead of day-to-day pressures Exploring the timeless counsel in the book of Proverbs, A Woman's Wisdom teaches us to know the very Author of wisdom and to apply his relevant, how-to riches.

Before Sarah Styf turned eighteen, she was moved across the country four times, living in five states in four different time zones before she left her parents' home in Michigan for four years of college in Nebraska. As an adult, she and her husband started their family in Indiana, then chose to spend six years in Southeast Texas, before a significant life-changing event sent them back to the Midwest. There have been two constants throughout Sarah's life: faith and change. One of the ways she coped with change over the years was writing. After nearly a decade of blogging, Sarah noticed a common theme throughout her writing: life is a series of unexpected events, a blind journey through the challenges of being a human, raising children, maintaining a career, and getting older. In her first book, she processes her own journey of leaning into the unexpected and learning how to build a home when everything blows up in your face.

It’s time for women to reclaim what makes them uniquely female and affirm God’s breathtaking design for womanhood. “Wake up!” cries Jennifer Strickland in this bracing call to women. With womanhood itself under a withering cultural attack, this is no time for Christians to stand teary-eyed on the sidelines. Men are invading women’s sports and even bathrooms, while schools indoctrinate children in lies about gender fluidity. The assault of insanity on reality took normal women by surprise, but we can’t waste another minute in fighting back. Our culture needs an answer to transgenderism, pornography, sexual violence, and the lies that are crippling our young women and robbing them of their dignity We cannot abdicate our responsibility to the next generation. It is up to women who fear God to restore the true meaning of our name. Women have had enough. And now it’s time to rise up as emboldened warriors to declare the truth against the gender-bending culture’s lies. Jennifer Strickland, a podcaster, author, and former model, is calling women to use their influence to expose the lies of gender ideology and point children and teens back to God’s beautiful design for male and female. In I Am a Woman, Strickland calls Christians to uphold the dignity of womanhood with clarity and compassion. She urges readers to cherish the power imbedded in the name “Woman”—because women are not undefinable. The name “Woman” means guardian, rescuer, advocate, protector, and life-bearer. Women must reclaim their name and reject any agenda that diminishes the dignity of sex and gender for future generations—before it’s too late.

I thought surely the memories would die. But they continued to haunt me. The angry faces of my captors. The abuse and the beatings. The burning shame at the unspeakable things I'd been forced to do.Dear God, I'm so afraid. I can't go back there.When Gina Cavallo finally escaped from her traffickers and returned to her childhood home, she soon recognized that her friends and family couldn't ever comprehend the otherworldly nightmare she'd endured for nearly three years. And she had no interest in revisiting those experiences either. So she returned to an old habit: She buried the memories of that hideous ordeal deep down inside, where she kept all the other dirty secrets of her life. And there they stayed for many years.But even the deepest buried memories eventually resurface. When a dramatic meeting at church brought her secrets back to mind, fresh and raw, Gina recognized that it was finally time to face her past and find healing from her brokenness. She knew God wanted to free her from the dark fear and shame of those memories. And she knew she couldn't do any of this alone--she had to start by telling her husband.A Survivor's Secrets is a powerful story of the often-overlooked aftermath of survival and the courage it takes to confront and overcome the demons of one's past. Gina Cavallo tells of the astonishing power of hope, healing, and the unassailable freedom found in God's redeeming love.

Tonight's the night, you think.You nestle in next to your sweetheart as he watches television. "Hey, honey, the kids are asleep," you whisper. "What do you say we go upstairs and mess around?""Not tonight," he says, not looking your way.Your shoulders tense as you sense this night ending as so many others have before."Come on, babe," you press on. "We haven't had sex in a while. I promise you'll enjoy it.""I don't feel like it. I just want to watch my show."And there it hangs. Rejection. Again.Why doesn't he want me? you wonder. What's wrong with me? And the tears come, as they have so many times before.If you've experienced this scenario, you are not alone. Despite the myths and stereotypes that suggest otherwise, as many as 30 percent of married women have a higher sex drive than their husbands. Some wives have endured months or even years without any physical intimacy in their marriages.I Want Him to Want Me is written for women who feel neglected or even ignored by their husbands sexually. Whether your relationship is dealing with mental or physical health conditions, porn use, infidelity, or other concerns, this book will help you learn to work together to attain the best sex life possible for both of you.

Yes, my sister, God sees you.He knows your name, and he will not leave your story without a redemptive ending. In Does God See Me? Dieula Magalie Previlon reflects on the story of Hagar, a young, desperate, pregnant slave in the Bible, to help us understand God's heart for those who suffer. Hagar's story reminds us that God is present in the center of our pain. You, too, can journey with Dieula to understand your trauma story, courageously face it, and find freedom to heal and thrive. Dieula shares her own traumatic experiences as well as stories from women from around the world accompanied by therapeutic strategies, reflective questions, and whole-body exercises to engage your full self in your healing process."This book is for my sisters around the world who are ready to take their first steps toward healing. As we travel together, you will be reminded that God is not outside this process. He is fully present and walking with each of us every step of the way."

Though tremendous strides have been made in cracking the glass ceiling in business, politics, medicine, law, and other professions, the same cannot be said of some congregations and denominations within the Christian church. This is particularly heartbreaking in light of the reality that Jesus and the early apostles and disciples cracked the stained-glass ceiling wide open in the first century. God has carved out places in his church for every woman who has given her life to him, and he wants us to shine in those places. He has given us the spiritual gifts we need to shine in fulfilling the purposes he chose for us. He does not want us to hide our spiritual gifts. He is displeased when or if we choose to hide our gifts. So, trust in the Lord, follow the leading of the Spirit, and walk in the purpose for which you were created.

Give yourself permission to slow down.Jodi Grubbs did not give herself permission for too long, falling headlong into the endless rush and exhaustion of hustle culture. After leaving her childhood home on the island of Bonaire in the Caribbean, she had assumed the rapid pace and stress of city living in the States. Soon she realized God was bidding her to a return to the "island time" of her past.In time Jodi found sanctuary and ways to care for her soul by making space for God, others, and herself. Evoking the contentment she once had in the gentle rhythms of Bonaire, she learned of another path: a path away from burnout and toward restoration. And she invites you, too, to grasp a sustainable approach to life anchored by the forced pauses of spiritual practices and an openhandedness before God. Each chapter offers slow-living shifts to help you put the concepts into practice. Begin to rest and let go of the need to keep up, as you learn to live slowly.

Motherhood is hard. Really hard. That's why we need a well. For centuries, neighborhood wells served as gathering spaces that provided community and relationships for women. This seven-week Bible study offers a modern day "well" for mothers to gather and experience the God who invites us into a process of spiritual transformation.

Die Erzählung »Ruth« ist die erfolgreichste Publikation von Lou Andreas-Salomé zu ihren Lebzeiten. Die Geschichte des Mädchens, das sich mit ihrem unbändigen Lerndrang einen Platz im Herzen des Lehrers erobert und am Ende doch enttäuscht wird, traf genau den Geschmack der Zeit. Gerade das Schüler-Lehrer-Verhältnis war es, was die damalige Zeit bewegte und zum Teil auch als anstößig empfunden wurde.Das Buch erlebte zwischen 1895 und 1928 zehn Auflagen. Unter seinen begeisterten Lesern sind berühmte Namen wie Rainer Maria Rilke und Sigmund Freud.»Ruth« nimmt eine Schlüsselrolle im Werk von Lou Andreas-Salomé ein - sowohl als die erste jener Erzählungen, für die sie berühmt wurde: Geschichten von jungen Mädchen und Frauen, die ihren Platz in der modernen Welt suchen, als auch als ihr Beitrag zur Literatur der Pubertät, der sie in eine Reihe stellt mit Wedekinds »Frühlingserwachen« (1891) und Musils Törless (1906). Das Thema »Pubertät« wird dem »weiblichen« Blick geöffnet.
