Girlfriends' Guide to the Bible: 12 Virtues for Transformational Living (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780999866207)

Welcome to the Girlfriends' Guide to the Bible. Join us on a journey of transformational growth and uncover the answers to many of life's questions. Oftentimes we are asked to be every-woman all at the same time. Suddenly, our questions become--How do we do it all, with the least collateral damage to our minds, bodies, and spirits? How do we make a significant impact in our families, neighborhoods, and communities, despite unbalanced gender expectations? How do we succeed and grow in our male-dominated day?

Learn how to live your best, blessed life through the voices of key women who braved the gender divide in biblical stories that have been told for ages. As we dig deeper into the traditional stories of Abraham, Moses, and Jesus there are women of triumph, women of courage, and women of integrity. We will view the biblical stories through new, rose-colored glasses to explore the positive impact of women in establishing the Bible as the bestseller of all time.

Watch the Bible come alive as never before through the voices of heroines of the Bible like Eve, Esther, and Mary Magdalene. Girlfriends' Guide to the Bible provides an in-depth study of biblical heroines, virtues for transformational living, and encouragement exercises with practical tools to navigate life with better precision and focus.

It is amazing how the most forgotten about women of the Bible...those that were the most discarded and disregarded during their time, made the greatest impact on the history of our biblical teachings. This is because He who is within us, is Who everyone should see. Our light comes from the illumination of the Word inside of us. It is a fact that light can only shine through a vessel that is broken. Time and time again, God chose women that were broken, to shine His light the brightest.

The Samaritan woman with five ex-husbands, who was living with a man who was not her husband, became the evangelist to the Gentiles of Samaria to spread the Good News. Rahab was a prostitute who then became the key to the Israelites possessing their Promise Land, and a part of the lineage of Jesus. Mary Magdalene, who was demon-possessed and once believed to be a harlot, set the foundation for what Christianity is today.

We should find encouragement in the lives of these biblical women. Encouragement that, even with all of our brokenness, we can still be used to bring glory to this Earth. All of that past "not-so-good" stuff makes us uniquely qualified to make a positive impact on the world. We will explore the virtues that these women exhibited in the face of all odds, and attempt to find comfort in their stories of triumph and perseverance.

Their biblical stories of obedience, leadership, and loyalty are the blueprints for life.

Let's embark upon our transformational journey together
