Synopsis

Women in ministry face needs that are often overlooked by the local church, and consequently remain underdeveloped as they seek to lead and guide those in their care. 

The need to shape emotions to guard and fulfill God's purpose and the need to bond in order to build a community of authentic, lasting friendships are distinctively feminine and foundational to a successful ministry. 

As the founder of Inspire Women, Anita Carman is uniquely qualified to offer practical, biblical training and resources to support leaders, and those thinking about leading, on the front lines in our churches. 

Transforming For a Purpose covers the three primary emotions--loneliness, rejection, and fear--that a leader must overcome to maximize her impact while providing a personalized curriculum to knit the hearts of those she serves.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

Starting a family is a soul-shaping, world-altering experience. Unfortunately, in a culture of competing values and protracted timelines, couples are increasingly backing their way into parenting or missing it altogether. By the time the average couple tries to have kids, they are often beyond their late twenties and surprised to learn they’re sliding past the peak of their fertile years. In Start Your Family, Steve and Candice Watters encourage couples to be intentional about their timeline in the early years of marriage and to trust God to help them boldly launch their families. Responding to the most common doubts and hurdles, they offer biblical inspiration for the questions, “Why have kids?”, “When is the best time to start?”, and “How can we fit kids into our lives?”

 

 

“This book is astutely wise. It cuts against the grain of weak and fearful thinking. It will startle you and free you to trust God with your family and your future. That’s when you find what real life is all about.  You can never afford to have kids—so why not trust God and get started?”

—Steve and Mary Farrar, authors of Point Man and King Me (Steve), and Reading Your Male (Mary)

 

“A remarkable, go-against-the-grain book, with wisdom, practical advice, and biblical application bounding from every page. The Watters have written an emotionally aware and intellectually astute book that is as sensitive as it is compelling.”

—Gary Thomas, author of Sacred Marriage and Sacred Parenting

 

“Ably written and offering both practical advice and spiritual encouragement, Start Your Family should be read by every Christian couple entering into marriage or considering whether to start a family or have another child.”

—Allan Carlson, president, The Howard Center for Family, Religion, and Society

 

“Just like ‘in the beginning,’ the family today is at the center of a great spiritual battle. Start Your Family will certainly inspire couples to reclaim the blessing of children and, through that, build a true culture of life.”
—Christopher West, Fellow, Theology of the Body Institute, and author of The Love That Satisfies and Good News about Sex and Marriage
