Certain Women Called by Christ by Paige Lanier Chargois Pdf

The scriptural text Luke 8: 1-3 (KJV), which mentions "certain women" who were with Jesus, is the basis of the book Certain Women Called by Christ. In this book, author and teacher Paige Chargois identifies 12 qualities evident in these certain women as revealed by these three verses. Written with powerful words and imagery, this book reminds readers that just as Jesus called His 12 disciples, these certain women also had an invitation from Christ and so do the women of today. Certain Women Called by Christ is a biblical, historical, and faith- and character-nurturing book written out of a desire to see the relationships among women strengthened. Through a thorough analysis of Scripture, the author looks at profiles of both biblical women and contemporary Christ followers who exhibit these 12 essential qualities of servant women. She "calls out" today certain women who are not afraid to make history and pave the way for others as she offers confidence building and assurance to women in the church today. She helps women see that by exhibiting these 12 qualities, they are validated in their call to share in the full ministry of Jesus. Readers will be challenged, like the certain women who walked with Jesus, to be trimmed of excesses, to be whole and not self-limiting, to have an intergenerational ministry, and to manage their households well as they come to know the power of the Lord and set their objective on glorifying Him.

(A)Typical Woman by Abigail Dodds Pdf

A Woman Through and Through In a culture that can belittle womanhood on the one hand—making it irrelevant—and glorify it on the other—making it everything—it’s hard to know what it really means to be a woman. But when we understand womanhood through the lens of Scripture, we see that we need a bigger category for what God has called “woman.” This book breathes fresh air into our womanhood, reminding us what life in Christ—as a woman—looks like. When we see that we are women in all we do, we can be at peace with how God has created us, recognizing womanhood as an essential part of Christ’s mission and work.

Calling to Christ by Robert Davis Smart Pdf

Although there is nothing sweeter than the Gospel, there is more sweetness to be enjoyed after ones conversion to Christ. Many Christians fail to experience transformation in the discovery of Gods call on their lives in the areas of work, family, and service. Even the idea of calling has been relegated to full-time vocational service, leaving out the other 90% of Gods people. What if we could overcome the major obstacles to joyful fulfillment in our callings to Christ? What about the importance of being called to an ordinary place that counts for eternity? What if we begin to live out of the heart God gave us rather than the demands and expectations of others we had not considered are ruling us in negative ways? Dr. Bob Smart walks his readers through the practical steps to owning Gods calling of us in all areas of life, which promises to lead to freedom and meaningful living in this second season of spiritual formation. This is the second book of four seasons of spiritual formation.

A Certain Woman by R. S. Gunn Pdf

Women of God are searching for direction and advice. Now they can meet that need and go beyond, discovering a clear mission statement to turn to in their lives. A Certain Woman presents a work of inspirational narrative nonfiction featuring unnamed or little recognized women in the Bible and pulling from the defining moments of author R. S. Gunn’s real life. It shows that God uses all His children for His glory, from Mary, the virgin mother of Jesus, to Rahab, Jesus’s great-grandmother several generations removed, who spent her younger years as a prostitute. These stories grant women power and offer a glimpse into the day that these biblical women received their call and answered accordingly. On the modern side, lessons and life experiences include military service, serious health issues, miscarriage, marriage, divorce, children, career shifts, unemployment, physical manifestations of stress, alcohol abuse, and idolatry as Gunn fought with God, pleaded with Him, and ultimately answered His call and met the conditions He required. This collection of personal and biblically inspired narratives offers a message of strength and power for women of God.

A Woman Called by God by Anious Yeakey Pdf

The Lord impressed upon my heart to write this book to encourage women in all walks of life who are faced with the challenge of leadership. Whether you are a mother, grandmother, aunt, sister, daughter, a teacher, a preacher or pastor, CEO, etc., we need to know that whatever title we hold was not given to us by man but the Almighty God. This book was written to build women up in leadership, not in their abilities but their God-given abilities; to open the doors of new founding faith in God; and to trust the godly training we have been taught by our many mentors. Women in godly leadership, we should walk by faith and not by sight with our heads up high, always looking to Jesus who is the author and the finisher of our most holy faith.

Called by God: Discernment and Preparation for Religious Life by Rachael Marie Collins Pdf

In Called by God: Discernment and Preparation for Religious Life, Rachael Marie Collins provides an overview of the spiritual life—both its joys and its challenges—and guides women as they discern whether they are called to be religious sisters or nuns. In a series of letters written by the author to a trusted friend discerning whether to enter religious life, Called by God explores both discernment and spirituality. The key to discernment, Collins argues, is to prepare for religious life by entering deeply into a life of prayer and sacrifice so that one experiences and begins to understand the “work” of a religious before entering the convent. Called by God draws heavily on the wisdom of great Catholic women such as Teresa of Ávila, Thérèse of Lisieux, Zélie Martin, Edith Stein, Teresa of the Andes, Elizabeth of the Trinity, Miriam Teresa Demjanovich, Elizabeth Leseur, and Caryll Houselander, among others. Women discerning a vocation will benefit immensely from the discussions about the difference between religious life and marriage, the nature of a vocation, the supernatural superiority of religious life, and spiritual motherhood in Called by God.

The Calling from God by Dr. Lowell Hardy Pdf

The Calling from God shares an in-depth analysis of various callings to individuals to preach from a biblical standpoint. It comes in unique ways for each individual. So the exact nature of the calling from God is difficult, at best, to describe, for it does not lend itself to any private interpretation, especially to someone not privy to the calling. Within the text, the reader will learn about the struggles of various people with God and within themselves. All experiences are coercing, demanding, and cajoling for sure. However, the one called has to determine within oneself what Gods will is for him/herself. The Calling from God will serve as a guide to those seeking answers about their possible destiny. The book takes the approach that many are called, but only a few answer because of uncertainty. The book will help one decide what to do based on their life-changing experiences with the power of the Lord Jesus Christ. The ones called must make sure of their calling, for there is much to do since the harvest is great. This book shows in detail some of the preparation needed as one grows in service to the calling from God. All Christians are called by God the Father to be witnesses of his resurrection power by grace through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. For sure, a call in any form lays a heavenly claim upon the one called. This book helps one understand the calling from God and will help one reach a sound decision based on their life and experiences in comparison to selected biblical callings. The Calling from God will serve a reference manual and a valuable source of information for anyone thinking about answering or has answered the call from God. The decision to serve is very personal, as you will learn from the book The Calling from God and many biblical examples. If you are struggling with the decision to serve or not to serve, this book is for you. You will know after reading The Calling from God if you are one of the few chosen to serve and trust Gods wisdom in leading you to point others to the uplifted Christ. Will you answer the call from God? The alternative is to wrestle with the Spirit, as conviction works slowly and agonizingly in the soul. This book is a must read.

Women on the R.U.N. for Jesus by Helen Cummings-Henry Pdf

Empowering women to be all that God wants them to be! In early New Testament times, women gathered at the well, drawing water and talking to one another about their lives and probably helping to advise each other about the problems or dilemmas in their lives. But one woman went to the well when she knew the others would not be there because of her shameful lifestyle that was unacceptable. She waited until much later, thinking she would avoid a confrontation with those who she knew would avoid her and look on her with disdain. But along came Jesus, who knew when she would be there and brought along understanding, compassion, and love. He left out condemnation and judgment and instead brought GRACE. (God's Riches At Christ's Expense) It was this encounter that changed her life and her lifestyle. The purpose and the vision of Women on the R.U.N. for Jesus is to minister to the total woman (spirit, soul, and body); gather women from different ethnic backgrounds and Christian denominations; open the doors of communication through fellowship; and provide the tools necessary to become the women that God has called us to be. Women on the R.U.N. for Jesus started with two women who were hungry for the Word of God. "For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them" (Matt. 18:20). The group meets once a month to empower women to become all that God wants them to be. Please join us!
