Living in Absolute Freedom

by Donna Partow

Speaking to the Hearts of Women Donna Partow knows the hard road that must be traveled to escape a life enslaved by sin. She knows your struggles, your excuses, and the small ways that can encourage your soul. Most of all she knows the deep desire you have to experience freedom in Christ. Her newest ten week devotional, Living in Absolute Freedom, can be viewed as a map to help you navigate around the dead ends and rough patches that have stopped you before. Her first two devotionals, Walking in Total God Confidence and the now classic Becoming a Vessel God Can Use (with sales of 5,000 copies), prove that Partow is blessed with insights in how to relate to God that you and other women need to hear about. Her newest book begins a new journey that can be shared in a group or experienced during your own devotional time. Living in Absolute Freedom looks at the difficult issue of Christians living enslaved lives despite the proclamation that "it is for freedom that Christ has set us free." Legalism, sin, status, others' opinions, materialism, and wrong priorities can all set a believer in bondage. Whether spiritual, mental, or emotional, each is just as real and painful as any physical restraint, except the chains are fashioned from fear of failure, fear of success, or fear of rejection rather than links of iron. "Anything that holds you back from being and doing all that God has created you to be and to do" is Donna Partow's definition of slavery. With a personal transparency and vulnerability rarely seen, she articulates the types of bondage most typically found in women's lives today and then provides the necessary steps for regaining freedom and living in it. Glean God's special calling for you to live an emancipated life and embark on a journey away from captivity and into the delightful and expansive wonder of God's grace.

About the author

Are you longing to Do What Matters?

To live a life that actually counts for the Kingdom?

Do you read the great stories of how God worked throughout church history – and think: YES, that’s what I want to be part of!

I write books to empower women to Do What Matters - for their personal well-being, to strengthen their key relationships and most of all, to make a difference in this world.

My current mission is raising up an army of Kingdom-minded digital nomads. I keep scratching my head, wondering when the church is going to figure out that the greatest opportunity in history is right here, right now. It’s called location independence and it means you can live and work anywhere in the world you feel called to make a difference.

If you’re ready to combine your love for God, the thrill of travel and the skill required to build an online presence, then I invite you to come away with me to be trained at the annual Lifestyle Freedom Event.

A good interactive study to help you determine what enslaves you and how to break free with God as your emancipator. I agreed with most of what the author says, but had to go to the Bible when I wasn't sure she was on the right track. She is amazingly transparent which makes you feel understood. Highly recommend this study either for a group or on an individual basis.
