Are you a woman in the church wondering where your place is exactly? Have you felt discouraged to minister before because you are a woman? This book is for you. Jacki wonderfully relates biblical women to women of today and encourages all of us to live out the calling God has on our lives. Each chapter gives wisdom and understanding to what is means to be a Christian woman in the church and in the world today. I finished this book feeling encouraged not only to live fully the life God gave me, but to do it boldly. God uses the women of the Bible boldly and beautifully and He does the same today. There are even practical ways to help you discover what that calling and direction is on your life at the end that I found helpful as well!

Such a great study! I love the way Jacki points out women God used throughout the Bible and encouraged reflection and deeper thought with the questions at the end of each chapter. I finished feeling encouraged to accept the call to live out the Great Commission everywhere God allows me influence.

I read this book after hearing Jacki speak at a women's conference. She gives an explanation of several women of the Bible and how they discipled others and how we should look at their example. It was excellent and encouraging!
