Product Description

Nobody understands the issues women face better than dynamic Bible teacher and national speaker Paula White, host of a national television program, who crosses racial and gender lines with her messages. Many of these listeners are women who identify with Paula's straight-forward and candid approach as she shares from what she has experienced in life. Her openness, integrity, and honesty are what draw men and women to her. In this book, Paula highlights 10 women in the Bible and shows how God transformed their lives and can transform anyone's life who is seeking Him and the answers he provides throughout Scripture.

From Publishers Weekly
In this misleadingly titled book, televangelist White galvanizes women to confront their setbacks by recounting stories about the Bible’s handful of resilient women, like Leah and Mary Magdalene. Certainly their trials can be a source of inspiration to the Judeo-Christian faithful; however, much of their power is buried in the author’s superficial recitation of events and pithy sound bites. In the chapter on Ruth, for example, White aptly highlights the message that one’s past, no matter how ugly, does not determine one’s future happiness, but then she boils the lesson down to the irksome rhyme "leave and cleave." ("Leave the past…and cleave to today…") She also provides few personal details of her own past struggles, though she does mention that her father committed suicide and that she was sexually abused as a child. Thoughtfully interpreting these stories and candidly sharing her own might touch a larger swath of women.

Customer Reviews

Consumer False Christianity
Paula White is but another "peddler" of the pseudo-Gospel (that is false Gospel for the fools who read her book) in America. The false Gospel that thinks Jesus is some cosmic genie in the sky, or a slot machine waiting for his lever to be pulled.

But the people who listen to false teacher such as Paula White are those who are consumed by a truncated and narccistic world view that does not recognize that God is with the poor in their card board boxes, God is with the poor 2 billion in our world who don't have clean drinking water. God is not interested in you have a happy life. God is interested in you following his Son, Jesus, who is Lord over the whole cosmos. This Jesus calls all who would follow to a discipleship that is marked by a path of suffering, joy, desperation, confidence, and most of all a way of living that pours oneself out to the abandoned and vulnerable of the world.

People were not crucified in the 1st century for preaching a gospel about individual hapiness. The problem is that most of American citizens are ignorant fools, drunk on materialism. READ Matthew 24 and 25 and then look at Paula's false Gospel!

I bought this book and I think it is fantastic!!!!
I loved it and it has taught me alot and made me see these lwomen of the bible in a different way. Also it is amazing how we too have alot in common with them. when I started with Ruth I asked myself oh! what else could I learn from this woman but was I ever mistaken because there is so much that we as women can relate to them. I highly recommend it!

It's Your Time to Live the Victorious Christian Life!
Are there things in your life-spiritual or otherwise that are blocking your emotional, physical, relational or financial healing? Paula White writes about women in the Bible who have overcome increasing odds and equally painful situations to live out their God given destiny. You can too. Deal with it, confront and conquer and your latter shall be greater than your past. A must read for every woman, young or old who feels stuck, discouraged and weary. Truly inspiring as Paula White also weaves in testimonies from her own faith walk. Recommended.
