The Life Ready Woman: Thriving in a Do-It-All World by Shaunti Feldhahn & Robert Lewis

Well, if you know me or follow my posts at all, you have probably picked up on the fact that I am a very busy woman with a lot on her plate.

I commute at least an hour one way most days to my full-time job (and then back again).  I have a young son (who will be turning 6 soon).  I am the wife of a hardworking man.  Oh yeah, and I write a bit on the side when I am able.  (Which is really my outlet for the thoughts swirling in my head and is primarily my way of sharing with others what my Lord Jesus has done in my life and what He can do in anyone's life.)

Of course there are plenty of details I left out in that little life summary of mine, but you get the point.

I truly am a woman who lives "in a do-it-all world."  And I am trying to thrive in it, with God's help.

So, when I heard Shaunti Feldhahn on the radio on FamilyLife Today talking with the hosts about her new book and study, The Life Ready Woman, I was completely intrigued.  She described my life.  She described my emotions.  My struggles.  My desires.  She described me.

And, being a former Wall Street analyst as well as a current national speaker and syndicated news columnist, Shaunti knows what it's like to live in today's woman's world.  Her research studies and writing along with that of Robert Lewis' truly get to the heart of what women today need to hear.  They hit right where we need encouragement and tangible direction.

Shaunti and Robert don't just speak to women like me, but they specifically address, encourage, and guide all types of women in all seasons of life.  Additionally, Life Ready Woman is just a portion of a larger vision and project called LifeReady which reaches far beyond female audiences.  If Life Ready Woman is any indication, I would have to say that this LifeReady project truly will impact people, marriages, and families in a mighty way for the ultimate glory of our Lord.

Now, as you are considering this book for yourself or someone you know, I am off to get myself a copy of the study workbook based on it.  Who knows...you may see me leading an online Bible study of this soon...
