It's time to venture off the beaten path to see that we've already been given everything we need. We've already arrived. You see?You'll see.

How do women remain courageous enough to confidently soar above life's challenges to impact their world and become generational influencers?

What if from the garden until today, deception from the evil one has been the driving force of conflict between men and women? His first tactic of deception worked with Eve, what if it is working on Adam today?The revealing of this deception of Adam and how it is still in play today is our discussion in this book. It is that deception that lessens the efficacy of the Great Commission and has caused, and continues to cause, a huge rift in the church to the benefit only of the evil one.The rift is between Adam and Eve but it is fueled by that great deceiver in the garden. Even with the restoration our Lord brought, the rift is still very deep and very wide today.We are going to pull back the curtain and see the puppet master at work. We will see how we are his unwitting puppets. We must cut the strings.Our common enemy has worked very hard to divide us, but we can stop him in his tracks by recognizing his influence and standing together.We are to fight the enemy, not one another. United against the evil one and set free from his schemes we will finally turn and face him down. The key to doing this is by knowing and living the truth together. He is terrified of our recognizing his hand in the divisions of the church and that we would then unite against him.The evil one has kept us focused on opposition with one another in order to divert our attention from his plans and, in turn, causes us to disempower the church. Imagine what we can achieve by working as a team against this adversary.

A memoir of Johnson's unusual upbringing during the 1970s and '80s, interwoven with the story of her transition to parenthood in post-recession Portland, Oregon. In the weeks after her first child is born, Jessica E. Johnson receives an email from her mother that contains artifacts of the author's early childhood: scans of Polaroids and letters her mother wrote in mountain west mining camps and ghost towns-places without running water, companions, or help. Awash in love and restlessness, Johnson begins to see how the bedrock images of her isolated upbringing have stayed with her, even when she believed she was removing herself from their logic. As she copes with the swirling pressures of parenting, teaching at an urban community college, and a partnership shaped by chronic illness, Johnson starts digging through her mother's keepsakes and the histories of the places her family passed through, uncovering the linked misogyny and disconnection that characterized her childhood world-a world with uncomfortable echoes in the present and even in the act of writing itself. The resulting journey encompasses Johnson's early memories, the story of the earth told in the language of geology, bits of vivid correspondence, a mothering manual from the early twentieth century, and the daily challenges of personal and collective care in a lonesome-crowded Pacific wonderland. Mettlework traces intergenerational failures of homemaking, traveling toward presence and relationship amid the remains of extractive industry and unsustainable notions of family.

What would you do if your religion forced you to choose between the church and your children?That's the dilemma Lisa Hoelzer faced after raising her four children within the confines of a strict, high-demand religion that dictated almost every aspect of their lives, from how they dressed to what they ate to how they used their time. Her vision of their ideal future started to change, however, when one child announced they were bisexual. Then another made a similar declaration. Additionally, her children struggled with anxiety and depression-conditions the church didn't prepare Hoelzer to deal with. If she followed the church's restrictive teachings, Hoelzer would have to turn her back on her beloved offspring. For this and other reasons, Hoelzer's small misgivings about the church grew into large objections.Letting Go recounts the story of how, when faced with a transformational crisis that could have destroyed her family, Hoelzer chose a difficult and forbidden path that would change her world and theirs for the better. This is a book for anyone struggling to push ahead when there doesn't seem to be an easy or obvious path. Whether you're deconstructing religion or parenting a teen struggling with mental health, this insightful book will engage you with its thought-provoking ideas. With warmth, vulnerability, and insight, Hoelzer empowers readers to accept their children as they are and step into their more authentic selves.
