As women, we want to fully live up to our God-given potential. But we fall victim to the messages the world whispers in our ears: “You need to buy all of this stuff in order to feel complete.” “You’d be a lot happier if you had a different husband.” “If you’re not super mom and you can’t do it all, you aren’t good enough.” The reality is, what the world tells us isn’t true. If we listened to these messages, our lives would become harried, empty, and phony. Instead we need to listen to the messages that God gives us in his Word. A great place to start is Proverbs 31. The woman described in this passage seems like the ideal woman, and she is. But even more, she is real. She is authentic and true, with a heart for God, a heart for her family, and a heart for her community. How do you become that woman? It’s a journey, and it happens by the choices you make every day. The NIV Real-Life Devotional Bible for Women will help you become the woman you want to be. With insightful daily devotions from Lysa TerKeurst and the women at Proverbs 31 Ministries, this Bible helps you maintain life’s balance in spite of today’s hectic pace. The 365 daily devotions inspire you to live authentically as a woman of God.

When you look in the mirror, what do you see? Do you see what you’re lacking—what the world tells you a girl needs in order to be beautiful?

We all know how difficult it is to feel beautiful in a culture where we’re bombarded with images of what everybody says “beauty” is. So how are you supposed to view yourself the way God sees you? The way God created you to be? Based on the bestselling True Images Bible, the True Images Devotional will help you begin seeing yourself the way God sees you—as one of his beautiful daughters. In this daily devotional you’ll read about Bible characters who display inner beauty and possess hearts that God finds lovely. Each devotional contains a verse from the True Images Bible, along with the devotional thought for the day. In addition, there’s another Bible passage to read, a prayer, and space to journal about what you’ve read. When you spend time with God each day—and learn what is truly.

Updated for this generation, this new edition is packed with tools and insight to help teen girls ages 13-18 navigate today's contemporary cultural issues with confidence, love, and grace.

Are you being duped? How would you know if you are or not? Have you embraced ideas and concepts that are working against you? Do you believe you will simply die, and that is the end of your existence? Do you really think all spiritual paths lead to the one true God? Do you think your life is all about you and your happiness? Do you believe in a 'god' of your own making? Have you really looked at truth for yourself, or have you only bought into what influential people around you believe? Are you so bound by contemporary models of diversity and tolerance that you do not know what truth is? Most of us want to believe in things that soothe our consciences or take the edge off our dissatisfaction with life -- but they do not ultimately give us lasting peace, hope or purpose. Perhaps you do not realize you are buying into a lie; we seldom do. Are you being duped? is a book about countering error with truth. It is about discerning what we are really embracing when we believe certain ideas or philosophies, and what the culmination of them will be. Kent Philpott, a pastor and teacher for many years, tackles these issues one by one. From his own experience of being duped and through the teachings of Jesus, Paul and the other apostles, Kent confronts these errors, explores their consequences and then provides a biblical response to them. Be bold and read on; if you do not think you are being deceived there should be no fear in being challenged, but if you are being duped and you do not realize it, this could be the most important book you have ever read.
