Women of all ages and walks of life are experiencing challenges each and every day. The pressures of home, family, career and community are overwhelming. While striving to be everything to everyone, resentment and loss of self-worth evolve. Actions and attitudes are influenced by past events and have lasting effects upon their lives. The world tries to squeeze women into its mold - how to look, act, live, and eat. These images create the attitude of self-centeredness or it's demeaning and women allow the word "can't" to control them. God's Word encourages and tells women how special they are when they put trust in Him. And they "...can do all things through Christ." The reader will discover how to: Get past the past Adjust to different seasons in life See herself as God sees her Overcome fears and insecurities Turn negatives into positives Apply the Word of God Become a joy-filled woman of God ENDORSEMENT: " During the years that Pastor Betty Jo has been my friend and mentor, I have witnessed her deep love for others and her heartfelt desire to see us embrace and enjoy all the richness available through God's Word.
