Growing up, I was expected to look a certain way, act a certain way, and talk a certain way. My parents pastored a few churches and my siblings and I followed their every move like ducks in a row. Everyone thought we were the perfect family. Beautiful parents who made the ultimate power couple and their talented and even more beautiful children. We were praised, admired, and envied. Yet, little did anyone know what transpired when we said our goodbyes and shut the door to our home. No one knew the secrets, the lies, the betrayals, and the sacrifices.

In this audiobook, Crystal authentically shares her story of desperately trying to be liked by everyone, fighting against her wavering self-worth, and always feeling she wasn’t measuring up as a mother. But breakthroughs always start with a breakdown, and by discovering and practicing simple strategies, Crystal was eventually able to see herself and her life’s purpose in a whole new light.

Home. It is an elegant word, at once both simple and far-reaching. Home is a place to live in and feel comfortable, but it is much more than that. Home is where we are nurtured, where we live, and where we love. The language of home is universal. It is where we find the eternal in the everyday. But the home has been neglected. To millions of women today, there is nothing worse than being a “homemaker”. If only they knew the supreme value (and reward) of giving loved ones a place to call home.

If it is true that God is a male, then his divinity or deity is expressed in his masculinity. Yet, I am a woman, and there are parts of my body, such as my breasts, vagina, and womb that are telling a story about God that I have never learned or understood. This is an exploration of the significance of a womb that must shed and bleed before it can create. How will we engage our body which cyclically bleeds most of our life and can build and birth a human soul? How will we honor the living womb that lives and, sometimes, dies within us?

God calls all women to some level of leadership. Yet seeing yourself as a leader, discerning what you are meant to do, and navigating your role as a woman and leader can be a challenging task. Drawing on the wisdom of 40 years of ministry, Bobbie Houston helps all women to discover their specific purpose and divine calling in Stay the Path. She shares the truths and experiences that have kept her and her husband, Brian Houston, on course, on point, and focused on the path before them.

La dignité de la femme et sa vocation - objets constants de la réflexion humaine et chrétienne - ont pris ces dernières années un relief tout à fait particulier. On le constate, entre autres, dans les interventions du Magistère de l'église, reprises par divers documents du Concile Vatican II, qui a ensuite affirmé dans son Message final : "l'heure vient, l'heure est venue où la vocation de la femme s'accomplit en plénitude, l'heure où la femme acquiert dans la cité une influence, un rayonnement, un pouvoir jamais atteints jusqu'ici."

Esta obra é uma homenagem a todas as mulheres, mães, avós, profissionais bem-sucedidas em todas as áreas, executivas, professoras, enfermeiras, telefonistas, empregadas domésticas e donas de casa. Batalhadoras que, apesar de toda a luta diária, sabem que o seu importante desempenho é no lar, e o maior elogio que poderiam receber é justamente o que registra a Palavra de Deus: "Levantam-se seus filhos, e lhe chamam ditosa; seu marido a louva, dizendo: Muitas mulheres procedem virtuosamente, mas tu a todas sobrepujas." (Provérbios 31.28,29).

Es ist Zeit, mit Gott groß zu träumen. Denn die Berufung, die auf deinem Leben liegt, ist im Herzen Gottes geboren und hat ewige Resonanz. Tief in uns spüren wir alle, dass wir für mehr geschaffen wurden. Wir haben eine Sehnsucht in uns, oft verschüttet unter den Trümmern des Lebens und den Lasten des Alltags. Doch deine Herzenssehnsucht ist auch der Traum, den Gott träumt! Er ruft ihn in dir wach und lockt dich, seiner Stimme zu folgen. Lass dir wieder Flügel geben, die dich zum Horizont deiner vergessenen Träume tragen!

Eva, Sara, Rebecca, Rachele, Lea, Rut, Noemi, Ester, Giuditta, Marta, Maria, la Maddalena, la Samaritana... Nell'Antico e nel Nuovo Testamento non compaiono solo figure maschili ma anche tante donne. Sono fondatrici di stirpi, profetesse, donne qualunque che si trovano perciò a svolgere un ruolo cruciale, memorabile nella storia della loro comunità e della loro religione. Sono donne che hanno la forza di essere protagoniste del proprio destino.

More and more people - especially millennials - are turning to religion as a source of comfort and solace in our increasingly chaotic world. But rather than live a cloistered life of seclusion, the Daughters of Saint Paul actively embrace social media, using platforms like Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook to evangelize, collectively calling themselves the #MediaNuns. In this collective memoir, eight of these Sisters share their own discernment journeys, struggles and crises of faith that they’ve overcome, and episodes from their daily lives.

What if Augustine's Confessions had been written not by a man, but by a mother? How might her tales of desire, temptation, and transformation differ from his? In this memoir, Natalie Carnes describes giving birth to a daughter and beginning a story of conversion strikingly unlike Augustine's - even as his journey becomes a surprising companion to her own. The challenges Carnes recounts will be familiar to many parents. She wonders what and how much she should ask her daughter to suffer in resisting racism, patriarchy, and injustice.

As women, we are exhausted. Our hearts are being wrung out to dry - squeezed and yanked in every direction. We take care of everyone but ourselves. We've gotten lost in bedtime routines and our Costco lists. We have lost our voices in the storm of everyday life. We need to be reminded to reach inward and heed the quiet voice whispering, Stay. This book is for anyone who longs for a connection with God and his people but can't seem to escape the haunting feelings of guilt, shame, loneliness, and fear. 

Words are one of the most powerful forces in the universe, and they can be used for good or evil. When God created our world, He did so with words. He said Let there be...and it was so. While our words cannot bring into existence things that are not, they do have the power to build courage into a husband's life, instill confidence into a child's heart, fan into flames the dying embers of a friend's smoldering dreams, and draw the lost to Christ. This book is for every woman who desires to use her words to build up rather than tear down....
