Women Of Grace

Every woman has something in her life that's broken and needs the covering of God's grace. None of us have lived perfect or pristine lives. We all have baggage in our past, secrets in our closets, or hurts in our heart. The Lord, however, stands ready and willing to cover our lives with grace. He reaches into our pit and redeems. He uses the difficult events of life to bring hope -simply by grace. Eight imperfect women in the lineage of Christ prove that no one is beyond the grace of God. Using the genealogy of Jesus, as recorded in the book of Matthew, Jennifer explores the Biblical accounts of these eight women, illustrating each account with pieces of her own story. Women of Grace brings home the truth; God's grace is bigger than our choices.

Experience the grit and grace of seventeen women of the Bible through creative first-person retellings of each person's story. This book connects preteen girls with the women of the Bible, showing them that they are created in the image of God to do mighty things in this world. Grit and Grace is for girls who long to know where they fit in God's kingdom, who want to know they are made for more than the frilly and frivolous, and that they can make a difference in the world around them. Through stories, reflection questions, and action ideas, the book helps readers become the gutsy, grace-filled girls God made them to be.

The deeds, miracles, and teachings of these nine Women of Power and Grace will be an inspiration to those who seek the deepest, most powerful forms of spirituality. The book includes many of their teachings in their own words, with special emphasis on the women of India, who teach the sublime nondual Vedanta philosophy -- one of the greatest philosophical achievements in the history of human thought. The stories of these spiritual champions of the highest order will excite the reader with the possibility of his or her own direct God-Realization, the fullness of Divine Love, Bliss, Peace, Freedom, and Power.

What happens when women give their lives over to God? They become vessels of grace, bearers of healing, consolation, encouragement, and strength to a troubled world. Far from being passive, the woman of grace will actively embrace God's will, actively seek out the suffering and lost, and actively bring God's healing love to others. If she accepts God's call to authentic womanhood, her role, in the words of a closing speech at Vatican Council II, becomes nothing less than to "aid humanity in not falling." Full of Grace will empower all women to fully embrace their God-given identity.
