When passivity and false niceness don't bring the abundant life Jesus promised, some Christian women try even harder to hide behind a fragile façade of pleasant perfection. Paul Coughlin and Jennifer Degler give women the empowering message that they have options far beyond simply acting nice or being mean--if they will emulate the real Jesus Christ and face their fears of conflict, rejection, and criticism. Brimming with enlightening information, thought-provoking questionnaires, real-life stories, and biblically based teaching from both the male author of the pioneering No More Christian Nice Guy and a female clinical psychologist, this book will motivate women to allow God to transform them into authentic, powerful women of loving faith.
A provocative challenge for men to discover and exercise masculine faith, expressed through Thumos--the Greek word "courage," leading to greater power, purpose, and integrity.
If you've picked up this book, it's likely you or someone you know has been a victim of rape, incest or sexual abuse. You are not alone. According to RAINN (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network), every 98 seconds, an American is sexually assaulted. On average, there are 321,500 victims (age 12 or older) of rape and sexual assault each year in the United States. Sexual abuse is rampant in our society, and the effects are devastating. Every survivor responds to the trauma in their own unique way, with symptoms that are mild or severe, short or long-term. Written by a survivor and counselor, this devotional is a powerful tool to help find answers, comfort, healing, and most of all–hope. Common issues and coping mechanisms of sexual abuse are tackled, along with the author's personal experiences. Journaling, prayer, scriptures, writing, and other exercises are used to facilitate healing, turning the ash and stone into beauty.
