Women's Issues in The Books Store

This lighthearted and inspirational collection of brand new devotions shares a message of grace with the warmth and wisdom fans have come to expect from Women of Faith.

Fans of the Women of Faith conferences have time and again sought the insight, wisdom, and teaching of these inspired women. And when it comes to God's grace, there is no message the Christian can hear too often. Whether anchoring their families or pursuing their careers (or both), women need to be reassured that their striving to be like Christ is always met with heaping portions of God's grace. Contributors include Sheila Walsh, Luci Swindoll, Mary Graham, Patsy Clairmont, Marilyn Meberg, Nicole Johnson, Thelma Wells, Carol Kent, Sandi Patty, and Jan Silvious.

For many of us, the word alone evokes dread. It’s not that we don’t want to be disciplined physically, mentally, and spiritually. The challenge seems too hard, and the motivation more about duty than desire. When it comes to our Christian walk, we don’t want to be legalistic and just follow some set of rules. That’s not what it’s all about, right?

Barbara Hughes answers with this encouraging reality: The true heart of spiritual discipline is a relationship with God. As you grow in that relationship, embracing your heavenly Father and his ways, you discover that discipline is your lifeline to him. It is how he gives meaningful shape to all the days of your life.

Mothers and daughters have a lot to talk about. That’s how God designed it. A mother is her daughter’s first role model, teacher, and friend, and she carries the responsibility of passing on to her daughter a legacy of biblical womanhood.

Join mother-daughter team Carolyn Mahaney and Nicole Whitacre as they give you insights and suggestions on how to talk—really talk—to each other about what it means to become a godly woman. Tips and study questions make it easy for moms and their pre-teen and teenage daughters to read, share, discuss, and grow.

“The Mahaney women’s chatty and comfortable approach is deeply biblical and straightforward, connecting with all sorts of relationships, including single moms, stepmoms, adoptive families, and those in either healthy or challenging relationships.”
—Noël Piper, author of Treasuring God in Our Traditions

“This delightful read is filled with warmth, wit, and wisdom—and loads of practical ways to apply the gospel to real issues facing teen girls.… I am grateful for this call to mothers to pass the legacy of biblical womanhood to their daughters.”
—Susan Hunt, Women in the Church Consultant, Presbyterian Church in America

Born to shop. A woman’s place is in the mall. We laugh at the stereotype of woman shoppers, but the reality is that millions of women struggle with handling money. With compassion and understanding, Karen O’Connor helps women evaluate their spending habits through questions that include:

• Does spending money make you feel better?
• Do you shop when you’re under stress?
• Do you dread having your money–handling habits exposed?

From excessive shopping to penny–pinching, from splurging to refusing to buy necessities, Karen explores the reasons behind the misuse of money. Then, drawing on her experiences and biblical insights, she reveals practical strategies readers can use to develop a healthy view of money and regain control of their spending.
