Girls with Swords
Author: Lisa Bevere
Publisher: WaterBrook
ISBN: 0307457826
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
A passionate call for Christian women to effectively "wield the sword" of their God-given feminine strength against any evil that threatens them and those they love. What if you discovered you have been entrusted with an invisible, invincible, and incorruptible weapon? Would you use it? In a day of worldwide trafficking, gendercide, discrimination, and other hostility against women, Lisa Bevere points to a biblical foundation to present a model of feminine strength that will empower women to live confidently. Drawing on the many references to swords throughout Scripture, the author constructs a revealing and compelling female paradigm that will impact every area of a woman's self identity, spiritual awareness, relationships, and life vision and mission. Long known for her passionate and articulate expression of biblical womanhood, Bevere presents fresh imagery--as enticing and strong as polished steel--to prepare women boldly for the challenges they face in today's world. It's not enough to just be wise and strong: Now a woman must know how to wield her sword. Creatively forging the imagery of swords, the Word of God, and the Cross, Girls with Swords will teach you: • How to speak the language of heaven on earth • What it means to intercede • What it means to carry your cross • What it means to be discerning • How to disarm the enemy • Why women are the enemy’s target—and why God needs them to be heroes It’s time to take up your sword and be a hero.

Jesus Is My Hero
Author: Dr. Scott Rawlings
Publisher: WestBow Press
ISBN: 1664270183
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 185
Book Description
One of the most frightening trends in our culture today is the exodus of churchgoers. Churchgoers who before felt inspired to worship and fellowship in their local church community are now leaving at a record pace. It is happening in every denomination, effecting every church. The crazy thing is, people are leaving and it is not because they no longer believe in God. They still believe in God and believe that Jesus is their savior. But, could it be that somewhere down the line, Jesus quit being their hero? Sure, He is our savior, but somehow we forgot that He is also our Lord. Jesus Is My Hero reminds us again how important it is to see Jesus for who He really is, a hero that we would want to emulate. A hero who not only has the power and the ability to make this world a better place, but also a hero who will make us better people. A hero who will bring out the best in us as we dare to do the impossible against supernaturally impossible odds. A hero who will inspire us again as he shows us how life is meant to be lived.
