Becoming Women Of Purpose

Although women have unprecedented opportunities and options today, their lives are still often filled with the mundane, the difficult, the downright tragic. And the challenges of life become even more difficult when there doesn't seem to be any purpose for them. Without a sense of purpose, our lives can become unmanageable and unfulfilling. These studies will help you discover God's purposes in your life--in your creation, your salvation, and your giftedness; in your work and home life--and will give you the framework you need to live a purposeful life that brings glory and honor to him.

Women sometimes wonder, Who am I? Why am I here? While society emphasizes wealth, success, and the pursuit of pleasure, the truth is that we are created by God in His image, and our fulfillment is found in pursuing His purposes for us. In 11 sessions, Becoming a Woman of Purpose topical Bible study by Navigator author and Bible teacher Cynthia Heald will guide you to a better understanding of your identity, God’s will, and His intended purpose for you as His unique creation. If using in a group, personal study is needed between meetings.

We are living in exciting times, where God is stirring His daughters to step up and grasp hold of His Kingdom purposes, daring to apply His truth to their lives at new levels. In so doing, they are influencing others to do the same - and the Kingdom is rapidly growing stronger as a result. Patricia Talbott is one of these women at the forefront, and her book will be a powerful tool to help release this great potential. Cherie Minton, Co-Founder, Hope Force International I have known Patricia for 20 years, and from the time I met her I knew she was a woman of purpose and destiny. She is also a woman of discernment, wisdom, courage, prayer, determination, obedience, faith and commitment! For women of all ages this is a wonderful book containing Biblical truth, with application. Patricia has found such treasures in these women's lives, treasures that can be become part of our lives today. She has already incorporated many of these values in her own life, so she writes with authority. I highly recommend this book for individual and group study, for processing and for reflection.

100 days of scripture-based devotions for an intentional and abundant life rooted in Christ Why do some women seem deeply rooted in peace and joy—even in difficult circumstances—while others of us struggle daily with feelings of dissatisfaction, worthlessness, or anxiety? Being a Christian doesn’t mean we’re exempt from pain and suffering—but it does mean we are called to a higher purpose and can claim the gifts of the abundant life that Jesus promises. Sara Daigle is passionate about sharing a message of deliverance, freedom, and ultimate love with women from all places and walks of life. Her passion gave birth to this book composed in devotional form with a Bible verse and prayer for each day, focused on leading women out of the labyrinth of their own thoughts into a higher identity and value found in Christ. For those facing uncertainty and life changes, Sara reminds us that Jesus has “come to bring abundant life that doesn't end when one season flows into the next before you catch your breath.” For those who look around and see women who are prettier, more accomplished, better moms, or even “better” Christians than they are, we are shown that “There is no joy fuller than living out exactly what He's gifted us in without comparison to another.” Readers will resonate with Sara’s authentic voice, honesty about her own struggles, and the wisdom that comes through hard times and a rich relationship with God. This devotional is geared to bring even the busiest of women into daily intimacy with God. It is written to help each heart know they are not alone, but destined for a life of meaning, identity, and purpose in union with a Creator God who designed each of us just as we are.

Have you ever been in a place where you feel lost, confused and stagnant? Whereby you are in pursuit of acquiring God's divine purpose for your life? You are not the only one. I was lost, confused and felt stagnant. I didn't know what God had specifically called me to do for Him and it was frustrating. However, in my pursuit to becoming a woman who desired to live God's perfect will for my life alone, there is a certain journey God took me through in order to understand what it truly means to live a purpose driven life and how to ensure that I stay in His unique path for my life as His daughter. There is a specific life that God desires all His children to live so that they can walk and operate in the full manifestation of who He has destined and preordained them to be. I know I am not the only who has gone through or will go through this phase in life, whereby you are in a place of confusion and you see life as one big puzzle that needs to be solved. Therefore, this book for is a source of encouragement to all women out there who find themselves in a similar predicament to let you know that regardless of whether you know your purpose right now or not, you must always remember that you were BORN ON PURPOSE FOR A PURPOSE. Being a Purpose Driven Woman does not only begin when you find out your purpose and know the specifics of your purpose, but when you come to the realisation that you indeed have a purpose and have been born for such a time as this. This book is not going to tell you what your purpose is (your purpose is hidden in God alone), but what it truly means to be a Purpose Driven Woman in order to walk in and fulfil your God-ordained purpose. This book will share with you what God taught and continues to teach me about being a woman of purpose, everything I learnt during this season of my life, and the process necessary that will prune us into becoming Purpose Driven Women.
