Overview
With an attention gabbing title how could I not grab this book for review!?!
Natalie started her journey as an associate women’s pastor not by choice. Her heart was in worship. She was a worship leader but one day she was called into a meeting and her staff position was changed without much consideration. This book is about her journey and the joys difficulties that come with working with women both inside and outside of ministry.
With chapter titles like:
- women are so mean
- Women are so jealous
- Women are so catty
It could feel like it’s going to be a negative perspective on women. One could say “well I guess it depends on the woman “ but that’s not the point of the book at all.
The book encourages women to set aside these attitudes and perspectives and become less judgemental and embracing becoming cheerleaders of each other . This world is bad enough in these areas, the church shouldn’t be a place of meanness, jealousy and cattiness.
At the end of each chapter there are 2-3 thought provoking questions that help you go from where you have been to moving forward in your walk with Jesus and the women within your circle.
My Opinion
As a women’s ministry leader WENEED THIS BOOK! How could I not choose to review this book.
Can I just tell you I have always heard that women are catty- but I never knew what that meant! The author does a fabulous job explaining it!
This book hit some very tender spots. As points of reflection and repentance in my own heart and to help heal spots from painful moments experienced at the hands (or should I say mouths) of other women.
Here’s just a few of the reminders I needed to hear…
- If they are willing to gossip to you they are willing to gossip about you.
- We all struggle with these things at some point or another we just have to be honest with ourselves about those struggles .
- It’s our job to build up not tear down .
This book is so full of hope and encouragement to help women succeed in their relationships with each other.
I’ve enjoyed working through the study questions at the end of each chapter. It’s helped me to grow in how I work with women in general and they have helped me to be honest about where my heart is.
There’s honestly so much within all of these pages that challenged my heart.
I Can’t recommend this book enough. I also can’t wait to take women through it I will be purchasing my own hard copy !
I give this book ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Thank you #NetGalley for providing me with a free PDF copy of this book . No expectation of a positive review .
