Brave Woman, Mighty God - by Laura L Smith (Paperback)

About the Book

"Navigating through life can feel like wandering through a maze-we encounter new beginnings, unexpected endings, and everything in between. But we have something amazing in our favor that helps us rise above the barriers so we can utilize our talents, champion what's just, take courageous steps, reach out for support, and so much more. We have a God who empowers us to do what we can't do on our own. Reflecting on the stories of resilient women in the Bible-those who were struggling with being seen, who were falsely accused, who were embroiled in tumultuous relationships, or who were balancing work and family-author Laura L. Smith reminds women of the profound and steadfast love of God. Through the experiences of these women, we witness God's power and faithfulness. He has intricate plans for our lives, and he promises to walk alongside us through every trial and triumph. He shows us that we can get through the hardships, and we can do what he has planned for us to accomplish"--

Book Synopsis

"The women in every chapter face impossible situations--but with the God who makes all things possible. Every woman needs this book!"
--Amy Seiffert, author of Grace Looks Amazing on You, Starved, and Your Name is Daughter

Find strength, hope, and resilience through God's mighty empowerment.

Are you facing challenges you're not sure you can handle? We all have them--in relationships, work, health, marriage, parenting. Sometimes we feel like they're too much or too hard. Like we can't do what needs to be done.

But you can. You can rise above the barriers, use your talents, stand up for what's right, reach out for support, speak up, and so much more. You can because God empowers, equips, and cheers you on in everything you're facing today, tomorrow, and every day.

In Brave Woman, Mighty God, Laura L. Smith reminds us of the steadfast love of God. Through reflections on thirty resilient women in the Bible, such as Sarah, Ruth, Abigail, Elizabeth, and Priscilla--women in the middle of their own trials, falsely accused, in tumultuous relationships, in danger, burdened by responsibilities, or balancing work and family--you can witness God's faithfulness in the ways He empowered them to do mighty things. With the same strength, wisdom, and courage God gave these women, you can step into abundantly more than you ever hoped or imagined.

"As we seek to develop courage and live as the daughters of God He has called us to be, we all need this message!"
--Rebecca George, author of Do the Thing and host of the Radical Radiance podcast

We so often hear about the men of the Word--what a gift to see light shed on the women. Laura is so exceptionally skilled at connecting our own everyday realities to the very real lived stories within the pages of Scripture. Her writing style is easy yet eloquent; she brings these biblical figures into your life not as unrelatable historical characters but as real women you can connect with--even see yourself in--and continue to learn from today. They are sisters and friends and mothers like us, and they are beautiful, broken, flawed, redeemed . . . like us. Brave Woman, Mighty God is a beautiful reminder of the work God has started, which didn't end with them--and won't end with us. Beyond that, it's a reminder of how deeply God loves us and how intentionally He chooses us, in all our mess and whatever our circumstances, for the good of His glory.--Erica Ligenza Gwynn, host of the Thrive Podcast, and creator of cominguprosestheblog.com (9/11/2024 12:00:00 AM)
