GET UP, GIRL, LET’S GO—tracy hester

Christian women are hurting but do not know how to shake the pain. They may even feel guilty for their pain. After all, shouldn’t Christians be able to overcome their problems?

Some emotional problems go so deep that uprooting them is more than a notion. And as much as one wants to be released from its grip, the pain cannot be soothed until the source is discovered and discarded. Get Up, Girl, Let’s Go: Getting Unstuck and Living Free takes women on an interactive journey to identify:

• destructive family patterns,

• the source of bad decisions,

• God’s healing and restorative plan,

• the purpose for which they were born, and more.

After twenty-four years of marriage, Tracy began a journey she’d never imagined—walking through a divorce. Overwhelmed by pain, rejection, and abandonment, she fell into a pit of despair and depression. A note from her daughter, pleading for her to survive, started Tracy on her healing journey, getting unstuck, and discovering her purpose.

ON PURPOSE —julie zine coleman

Many Christian women are torn between how the church has taught traditional gender roles and the liberty they see secular society afford to women. But what if the church’s conventional teachings on the place of women aren’t really biblical at all?

With each chapter, Julie Coleman thoroughly reveals how the timeless principles in the Bible actually teach freedom for women. In fact, when rightly understood, these verses are a wake-up call that we are handicapping the church’s role on earth by limiting women unnecessarily. Instead, men and women should be working side-by-side for the advancement of the kingdom of God.On Purpose is an enlightening study offering a fresh, scriptural perspective.
