Each day presents women with an unending parade of choices. Some are fairly mundane, while others can prove to be life changing. In this new edition of Briscoe's popular book, she addresses the crucial issues that women face on a daily basis. Using the book of James as a model, Briscoe examines the following choices that most women face: To resist pain or to use it To gather wealth or to gather grace To speak wisely or to speak foolishly To value our time or to fritter it away To live for ourselves or to live for the Spirit To develop God's gifts or to waste them To persevere or to protest To stand for truth or to abandon it
Our women's Bible Study has really enjoyed this book. It tells us things we really don't want to hear but need to hear. Jill sprinkles it with her personal stories which help in the understanding of the subject. Really good and is challenging us to be more like Christ.
This book is AWESOME!

A group of women at our church (140 of them) are currently going through the book as a monthly study. The women read a chapter a MONTH and then we have a speaker and discussion time. The book is AWESOME and everyone has enjoyed the material. It's both "easy to read" and yet very challenging. I would highly recommend it for a personal read as well as one to be used as a group study.

Jill Briscoe is fantastic. This book is grounded in the Bible and gets to the heart of key areas that are vital to your Christian walk. Not an anemic gloss-over, nor a "health and wealth" God-as-geanie recipe book. Jill challenges the reader to make real grown-up Christian decisions about truly living your life for Christ, but does it in a wonderfully humble and loving style. With plenty of scripture and real-life examples, it is one of those books that are easy and enjoyable to read, but not a quick read because it is constantly prayer and thought provoking.
