You Matter More Than You Think

This is a great book. I read a copy I borrowed twice. Then, I decided to buy one for myself and buy a second copy for a gift.

women do matter

This book is much better then I had expected. It makes women stop and think of ourselves in a whole different light and our choices and lives touch all those around us.

Excellent for every woman...

This book is an incredible help for every woman.... so thoughtful and insightful. Reading is like spending an afternoon over coffee with the author. You'll love it.

You Matter More Than You Think

This book was very inspiring for me. It really helped me to see a new perspective on being a woman and a mother.

A marvelous and inspiring book!

In this delightful book, Leslie Parrott writes about the power of a woman's life and the ways in which a woman can make a difference in the world. So often, women feel that to find purpose in their lives, it's necessary to make major changes or to do something different. Leslie points out that as Christians, we are called to love God and others...that we are already making a difference through our loving acts and words and that we can make an even bigger difference by growing in our ability to love others. My favorite books are those that are both ennobling AND enabling. Just like Dr. Parrott's earlier books with her husband, You Matter More Than You Think is one of those books. The poetry and personal experiences that she shares will inspire you to want to be a difference maker. And, the practical tips she provides will give you ideas for translating your dreams into reality. Many of the tips are familiar (e.g., allow painful personal experiences to sensitize you to others' wounds, use the observations of discerning friends to help better understand the difference you can make, and grow in graciousness by cultivating a heart of gratitude). But, the way in which Dr. Parrott puts it all together and shares her personal journey will inspire you to apply these truths in new ways. I highly recommend the book!
