Breaking The Glass Slipper not only debunks but shatters the common narratives that hold women back in their personal, family and work lives.  Women need to be hear these things and Elaine Turner delivers in a laugh out loud, straight forward and honest fashion.  This is a must-read and must-share pick; put this on your book club list asap.

I was truly impressed by this book and the stories inside.  Most of the time it is difficult for us as women to share our stories or even read each other's stories without judgement. I know I remember wanting to read and respond with my own thoughts to #YesAllWomen, but stopping because I didn't want to get caught up in the "drama." You Are Not Alone set out to change this internal struggle we as women often have and has succeeded. I feel grateful to have read it. While the book does share stories that can be hard to read (but that most women can relate to!), its message is what makes it beautiful. The first few chapters and especially the message to male readers really set a positive tone for this book even as it addresses difficult topics. The message here is not that we as women are looking for sympathy or a place to hate on the opposite gender. Instead, it is one of banding together, sharing our stories in order to make a change together for the next generation. Whether you are male or female, this is a must read book if you want to finally get past the finger pointing, the good guy/bad guy, the too sensitive labels and onto thinking about how and why we must make changes together. At the end of the book I truly enjoyed the sharing of the prompts that were used for the authors. This step really makes the book not just an inspirational read, but powerful enough to start a movement through the sharing of even our most difficult stories for a greater good and change. Highly recommended.

This book is so true of the new attitudes of our 'new women'. If you stand in judgement you will not accept change into your life. There are beautiful women out there working with their sexual power for healing. There are many people out there that suffer with their intimacy problems and sexual inabilities. Most can be healed with love and a patient friend and partner. Perhaps the partner is not able to give this unconditional committment to helping them. Probably they don't have one.
Gone is the prostitute that took drugs to give a man relief for money - the picture painted in our media. The new women are beautiful in their hearts, good living, caring for their body - the garment they wear over their soul.

Think about everything you read here... It is happening in our world today and futhermore the healing is working !!!

This book is a must read for women who are ready to move to the next step in their life.  Dr. Jordan carefully gives her audience a jam packed tool to access where you are and figure out where to go.  We all have to make our own choices and hearing women's stories about their choices makes that journey a a little less scary.  Knowing we aren't alone and truly have the power to achieve is a joyous experience.  The book is easy to read and savor.  I totally see it as a tool that you can easily return to when you work on revising or adapting your life plan.  Thank you Dr. Jordan for sharing this wealth of e
Information and experience.

Oh my goodness, here I am again to tell you about a wonderful new resource for women.  I was blessed by Tyndale to review Nicole Unice's newest release, "She's Got Issues (A DVD Group Experience), AKA "a Bible study".  With a title like, "She's Got Issues" I figured it had to be good because who doesn't have "issues" :)  Tyndale sent me the DVD Curriculum complimentary and I in turn am posting this review.

  I had never heard of Nicole Unice before, but after watching the entire DVD of her new study I am sure I will hear of her more often in the future.  Nicole is a counselor and a ministry leader and she based this DVD study on her popular book with the same name "She's Got Issues".  (Taken from back cover of DVD) "Nicole talks candidly about the everyday issues that can hold you back from living free and loving well."

  The DVD is set us as a 6 session teaching series with an introduction and wrap-up included.  (Taken from back of DVD) This study is "perfect for churches and small groups, this group experience includes candid interviews, individual journaling prompts, insightful and biblical teaching from Nicole, and group discussion."

  One of the things I like the best about this study is when Nicole interviews a woman from the group that she is teaching.  The 4 or 5 minute interview begins each teaching session. Nicole interviews 6 different women over the 6 sessions.  Each woman that is interviewed talks about one of the topics that Nicole will be teaching on (Control, Insecurity, Comparisons, Fear, Anger, and Unforgiveness).  The women being interviewed are completely honest and vulnerable when speaking about their specific "issue".  The interviews are a wonderful way to set up the teaching session by Nicole.

  I had mentioned that I had never heard of Nicole Unice before so I didn't know what to expect when it comes to her teaching style.  Well I can say that Nicole does a wonderful job at addressing all of the 6 "Issues" and she gives biblical insight and counsel in how to deal with each issue.  Her teachings will challenge participants to wrestle and fight to find freedom from the issues and sin that bind them up physically, emotionally, and most important; spiritually.

  After reviewing this DVD experience I want to gather a group of women together and go through this study.  It is suggested on the back cover of the DVD to go through this Group experience with a  bible study group, or a women's group.  An hour would be sufficient to meet, or you could go a little longer than an hour.

 I would say you probably should also purchase the book if you are going to complete this study as the book goes more into detail and includes information that is not on the DVD.  I fully recommend this study to all women, whether as an individual or in a group.  I am definitely looking forward to hearing more from Nicole Unice in the future.

I have a bit of a different take on the blessing this book provides for a woman to mentor another woman to become a Heroine. Mother to daughter, friend with friend over coffee, mentor and mentee. Women need women to reduce isolation and increase a sense of connection with other women. Our time with other women is so limited and many times relegated to coffee breaks in pressured work environments. Sharing life with others is enhanced with spending time and exploring the challenge of being a woman in todays fast paced culture.
Laura skillfully leads the reader in developing as a Heroine internally and sharing outwardly with others in her community. Her appropriate use of scripture enhances the sense of mission coupled with the wisdom of Gods Word. She exhorts and encourages women to excel in boosting your love of life.
This a focused, rich devotional that any woman will find encouragement and support through interacting with the material, her community and her Lord.

Such a great tool! Truth is not complicated. Holly Duncan has done a beautiful job of getting to the heart of the matter for every human being. She reminds us that we matter! We are important to God! When we believe that about ourselves, we can easily share that truth with our loved ones. I bought 10 of these books, and have given them as gifts to parents of newborns, elementary students, friends who need encouragement, and I keep a copy on my own desk!  This book is full of life-giving words that we all need to speak over others and ourselves daily!

Let's imagine that all of us, including our mothers, aunties, cousins, sisters and friends, had read this book when WE were younger!  What would our lives look like?
Now think about the power we have to share such innovative and compelling wisdom with our daughters, nieces, and friends.  Get this book into
the hands of every young woman you know! It is a step by step guide to living your best life right here, right now. I highly recommend it!

I am currently facilitating this study at our church to a group of 25 ladies from all age groups. We are only in our fifth week, but I have been so blessed by the application the women are already applying to their lives from this study. As the adage goes, "The teacher learns more than the students." This is so true with the wonderful study. Hannah has so much we can learn from her life. We all are barren in our own way, waiting for God to "open our womb." It's in the "waiting" that we'll find the "blessings." This can be done as a group or on your own. You will be blessed!

It arrived a couple of hours ago and i went straight to Susan Faith's sharing of showing up and connecting to the world!  The miracle of feeling 'a misfit' and seeing it transform in our lives where each one of us does belong 'here'.  We're all included in life and our voices are important to hear!  i'm very much looking forward to each one of your sharings.  Thank you.  This is powerful!

This book is very inspiring and empowering! I'm really pleased with this book and I recommend it to every woman. We all should read something like this to remind ourselves how important it is to put ourselves first and express our true selves in everything that we do, including in the way we present ourselves to the world. Thank you for the inspiration Rachel!
