I normally have very little time to get involved in friends blogs and facebooks accounts but this piqued my interest. I have been so stricken lately by my call as a mother and my own mission field right at home. I am coming to understand just how that might affect my ministry opportunites at church and in our neighborhood as well. God calls us all to minister and those of us who are mothers must also equip our children to minister, it's never to early to start! One of my daily prayers is that God will open my eyes to Him and show me the steps I need to take to prepare my heart and the hearts of my girls!<br /><br />Thanks for your work Suzie - Love!Rebecca Beadnernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2104851931526711710.post-41469662347114280702011-04-07T09:02:00.771-04:002011-04-07T09:02:00.771-04:00sounds like a good book for Tonya and I to read on...sounds like a good book for Tonya and I to read on the phone together on our journey to marriage<br /><br />we're reading the love dare right now, but this would be a great book for us to start reading after that if we win a copyTom Coburnhttp://www.tcoburn.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2104851931526711710.post-74487360819792041082011-04-07T00:54:12.531-04:002011-04-07T00:54:12.531-04:00Well done, Suzie.

It sounds like Carolyn Custis James has issued a cry for women to rally around -- and it's my hope we can make a difference.Pam Elmorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11453608981252001449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2104851931526711710.post-83136404331660712542011-04-06T16:02:35.510-04:002011-04-06T16:02:35.510-04:00Agree with above - I have been disillusioned with ...Agree with above - I have been disillusioned with women ministries for several years. Unless I'm married, have children or like to scrapbook - I'm not quite there. So have been pursuing other areas of interest (likeminded folks) not easy but its evolving. Most of all focusing on God's direction for my life not mine. End result - I just want to make sure I'm impacting where I need to impact despite life's circumstances. I will definitely put this book on my have to buy list. :-)Blu.Wingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01082232565135280625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2104851931526711710.post-11654890922020074282011-04-06T16:02:08.929-04:002011-04-06T16:02:08.929-04:00One of the lynchpins of my life is balance - that&...One of the lynchpins of my life is balance - that's gotten deeper and more profound in this past year. So I want to read the book to find more of the balance that should exist between male and female in Kingdom life. <br /><br />OK - the real reason is that I trust my friend Suzie, and so if she says I should read a book, I SHOULD read that book. :-DCalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02385029884329756020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2104851931526711710.post-79233310364497295922011-04-06T14:43:06.420-04:002011-04-06T14:43:06.420-04:00Heard a friend talk about this book and what a goo...Heard a friend talk about this book and what a good read it is.

YES!! This is the kind of thinking and writing that is so necessary in the North American church today! THIS is why "womens ministries" need so desperately to move beyond "girlfriends, chocolate and pedicures" in order to raise up desperately needed spiritual mothers and sisters. Can't wait to read this book -- thanks for the enticing review!Brenda M.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2104851931526711710.post-76775323774751621662011-04-06T09:55:37.848-04:002011-04-06T09:55:37.848-04:00Thanks for a great conversation on Monday on this ...Thanks for a great conversation on Monday on this topic.
