Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
This book calls women to look away from new self-improvement strategies in order to find the abundant life and joy God offers them in Jesus.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
The siren call of self -- What the giver of life intended -- Rooted in Christ -- You are what you eat -- Built up in Christ -- Established in Christ -- Finding lasting joy.
Women today feel a constant pressure to improve themselves and just never feel like they're "enough." All too often, they live their daily lives disheartened, disillusioned, and disappointed. That's because joy doesn't come from a new self-improvement strategy; it comes from rooting their identity in who God says they are and what he has done on their behalf. This book calls women to look away from themselves in order to find the abundant life God offers them--contrasting the cultural emphasis on personal improvement and empowerment with what the Scriptures say about a life rooted, built up, and established in the gospel.
