Author Jennifer Rothschild knows how easy it is for young women to feel overlooked and invisible. Through the Bible's most unusual love story, found in the book of Hosea, Jennifer helps young women see that God loves and cares for them in whatever situation they find themselves in. They will discover that No matter where you are, God sees who you are and loves you faithfully. Through the story of Hosea and Gomer, God reaches out to you and says, "You are mine, and that makes you lovely. You matter and are never invisible to me."
Jennifer Rothschild is a recovering perfectionist who has learned to live beyond limits ever since her life drastically changed at the age of fifteen, when she lost her sight. Now, more than 30 years later, she boldly and compassionately teaches women how to find contentment, walk with endurance, and celebrate the ordinary.
She's the author of ten books, including the best-selling Lessons I Learned in the Dark, Self Talk, Soul Talk, the popular Me, Myself and Lies Bible study, and her soon to be released, God Is Just Not Fair.
As a speaker, author and accomplished singer-songwriter she travels internationally, offering fresh, sensible, Biblical advice to audiences who, like her, are determined to pursue healthy and fulfilling lives in spite of their circumstances. She has shared her practical and inspiring messages to arena-sized audiences across the country, and media outlets including Dr. Phil, Good Morning America, Life Today, The Learning Channel and The Billy Graham Television Special.
Jennifer is an avid listener of audio books, a C.S. Lewis junkie, and has a weakness for dark chocolate and robust coffee. She and her Dr. Phil live in Springfield, Missouri, and have two sons Connor and Clayton and a lovely daughter-in-law, Caroline. When she is not traveling, Jennifer enjoys nature walks, and riding a bicycle built for two.
I received a copy from Netgalley, in exchange for an honest review.
This was an inspiring read. It deals with the issues that young women face throughout their lives and how to stay connected with God through those times. This books reminds young women that how they feel is not who they are as a person. This books demonstrates to us that God loves us no matter what we do, and how imperfect you think you may look. To him, we are all perfect in his eyes. Jennifer Rothschild lets us know who we truly are and that God thinks we are valuable.
I've been reading this book with my teenage daughter. This message is so needed for young girls today! They are facing an identity crisis of immense proportions and the church needs to step up and remind them who and whose they are!
I was given an arc copy of Invisible for Young Women by the publisher and there partnership with Netgalley in exchange for my honest review:
This book reminds young women that how we feel is not who we are. We are reminded in this book not to allow ourselves to spend our lives comparing ourselves to others, because no matter how good we are at something we are sure to find a short coming. Most importantly this book reminds us that God loves us despite our short comings.
When we accepted Christ, he accepted us imperfections and all.
Jenifer Rothschild reminds us that we are to valuable to God to let corrupt thinking confuse who we are. The reader is reminded too that who we are and what we struggle with are not the same thing.
When your identity is found in Christ you are never invisible.
This book reminds us too that a self centered focus never leads to contentment.
If we encourage others instead of discouraging them we will be more content.
I recommend this book to young women 13to 18 years old, or for A Young Women's Bible Study Group.
Envy isn't really about her. It's actually about me. It reveals that I don't like myself very much.
Not really long ago, I was so bored I ended up making a video to entertain myself. In the video, I started with “Hello, I am Vanessa. Just so you know, I am a nobody.” Coincidentally, I read Invisible for Young Women because I needed to read a book before things start to get real serious (aka studying for finals). I chose the book because it was the shortest one on the list.
Great book for young teenage girls. Really tackles the real life issues that girls face today and provides a doable and understandable way to deal with these issues.
