Good Service

The seller had the book in the mail by the agreed upon shipping date. Due to no fault of his, it took 16 days to get across the country. Good seller, just be sure to allow enough time for shipping.

We can all be positive women!

I just completed reading this book with a group of women at a friend's church and I just purchased 4 copies to give as gifts to women I care about.Ladd does a tremendous job of giving all women hope of being more positive no matter the circumstances. Using bible verses, stories of prominent women of history who have made a difference, and stories from her own personal experience she provides the reader with practical tools that can easily be applied by any woman, to improve her life and the lives of those around her. This book is full of encouragement and hope that we can all be positive women, full of wisdom, joy, love, courage, hope and more.

Wonderful book with many helpful tools for any woman

This book was fabulous and is a keeper for reference purposes and a definite on my shopping list for friends! Karol Ladd gives us tools for what to do - not just want not to do. She weaves in plenty of Bible verses which serve to encourage, teach and provide hope - and she does it so easily, I am encouraged to read my Bible more. She points us to God and reminds us continually (without pounding it in with a hammer) that he is in charge and we must rest in him. She specifically tells us that no matter what the choices we make in life, God is always with us and that we should not spend time regretting something we cannot change, but with Him make the best of it from today forward. And that is just one example from this book full of encouragement and hope that we can all be positive women, full of wisdom, joy, love, courage, hope and more. You can read this book a few pages at a time, a chapter or section at a time and still be blessed. It provokes thought, draws you closer to God and lifts you up. Her examples are helpful and don't cause you to lose focus. Rather, they enhance the Scriptures she uses (as examples should) and help you to apply what she is teaching in your own life. At the end of every chapter, and sometimes even within a chapter, she describes an activity that helps us in our daily walk. For example, listing all the things that bring us joy - or, as I did, simply visualizing them as we drive to work. The chapter on courage tells us that we have nothing to fear - and it gives several Bible verses where God has provided comfort by stating he has gone ahead of us - and Karol reminds us that we should cling to these verses when faced with fear. This chapter's activity is sitting down and writing out our fears, deciding what is in our own power to change and then giving the rest of it to God. This book is great for any woman - whether you're single, married without kids or a mother. Being a working wife with no kids (on purpose) I find so few Christian books that I can relate to and be encouraged by. While the author uses her daughters and husband to illustrate points, she also uses friends, neighbors and acquaintances which makes for a good balance since no matter our lifestyle or family make-up, we all have younger and older family members, friends and neighbors. She has provided tools for memorizing Scripture, tips for prayer and simple activities to apply what's in the book to our lives - to remind us of our sources of joy, our blessings, etc. There is so much more in this book than I could possibly summarize here. This book has been a blessing to me. Thanks, Karol!!
