It's the heart of Beth Moore

If you love Beth Moore, you will not only have a compilation of some of the wonderful personal writings she has shared in her studies, but you will also learn more about Beth and the challenges she has faced in her life that has made her the inspired woman of God that she is today. God uses her mightily to minister to others, and her tender heart and love for God comes through so beautifully in this additional gift of creative writing and poetry. A delightful, heart-provoking read.

Open, honest, heart-warming thoughts on God's graces.

Taking one from laughter to tears, both from sadness and happiness, this book touches the heart and spirit by relating how God's grace touches our lives as women. Whether you are single, married, a mother or not, you will be touched by the openness and honesty of Beth Moore as she relates how God has worked in her life and how He can work in yours!

Great resource of hope that I come back to time and again.

I bought this book at a First Place Conference after having the blessing of hearing Beth speak and share some of the works from Things Pondered. Beth has the gift of putting into words what many Moms and women feel in their hearts, but may be unable to express with words. A great book to encourage intimacy with our Heavenly Father.

The author's candidness is encouraging...we all struggle!

With all of the self-help books and motivational seminars, it's easy to feel inadequate in this life. It's almost as if, when you're facing illness or sadness or failure, YOU are to blame, because someone out there has a solution you should have seized. The reality of it is, we are not in control, despite what our egos think! And sometimes, we will face these struggles...inevitably! The key is to be anchored to Someone greater than yourself! I found Beth Moore's book refreshing and so funny. She is candid about what we face in life...the disappointments, the trials, the joy, the wonder of it all. And she makes no apologies for relying on Jesus Christ as her only sustanance. I would recommend this book especially to moms, adoptive parents, brides-to-be, and grandmothers needing a good laugh! A quick and thoroughly enjoyable read...

A gift idea for those who have done a Beth Moore Study

For those who have done an in- depth Beth Moore Bible Study, this book is a compilation of her wonderful poems from her journal writings. Beth has a unique way of writing that reveals her tender heart toward the Lord and causes you to evaluate your own relationship with the Living Lord Jesus Christ. THINGS PONDERED FROM THE HEART OF A LESSER WOMAN would make a great gift for anyone who has sought the heart of God through a Beth Moore Study.
