I Wanna Be

by Beth Redman

Beth Redman, bestselling author of Soul Sista, has written a unique, much-needed new book to affirm and encourage young women in their relationship with God and with others.The author sets out to fight the 'women's disease' of today's paranoia, inferiority and insecurity. From a strong scriptural basis, she draws out the need to learn to be secure, without comparing ourselves to to 'run the race marked out for you' in your own lane, forgetting where everyone else is.Returning to God's original design for women and his love for them, Beth asserts that Eve was not an afterthought, and that the biblical role of 'helper' has long been abused. A true helper is strong, protective and wise, and these are qualities to be embraced by young women, whether single or married. Resolute and practical, this book addresses the issues they face in working out their vigilant against 'infection' - that is, gossip or comparisons, and the freedom that comes with this security in themselves;how to approach the exercising of gifts in the church without 'feminist aggression';how to heal self esteem, body image, and relationships;forgiveness;believing and speaking the best - clinging to God's truth;being all that God designed them to be.A powerful, empowering guidebook for women in their late teens and twenties, it's the spiritual equivalent of a day at a health farm, but with deeper, longer-lasting benefits!

[Tanaya Singh · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a good book for any women of God who want to be encouraged to live like Jesus who truly WANT to be a women of God. This book explores the things which us woman want in life, like a big life, but Beth explains well that we need to accept the small things in our journey to that life God has made for us and that these little blips are preparing us for that life. The book encourages women to be like the women in Proverbs 31, uncomplicated, determined, warming and has a zeal for God.
