Today, Roberta talks to Kim Maas about her new book Finding Our Muchness: Inheriting Audacious Boldness from Women of the Bible, available from Chosen Books publishers.

You are a part of a great company of women who are called and empowered by God.

At the forefront of every move of God have been women. These women found their muchness--their ability to be brave, dream big, take risks, rise to their calling, and advance the Kingdom. It's time for a new generation to find their muchness, too.

With fresh prophetic insight and practical wisdom, Kim Maas calls you away from the competing voices in culture by reminding you of the brave women in Scripture. Battling struggles, loss, and judgment amid cultural oppression and religious suppression, these women were politically savvy, prophetically perceptive, and covenantally obedient. And their lives give you permission to be audacious, showing you how to

● break through cultural barriers, religious traditions, and political limitations
● refuse to be defined by your circumstances
● dream, risk, and fight again
● discover your Kingdom identity and purpose

Now is your time to rise up in faith, move forward with boldness, and fulfill your role in God's plans for our time.

Today, Roberta talks to Cindi Martin about her new book Choosing Intimacy: Exploring Christ’s Model for Mutuality and Deeply Connected Relationships, available from Morgan James Faith publishers.

From Genesis to Revelation, Choosing Intimacy goes on an in-depth exploration to discover the biblical foundation for mutual intimacy.

People are lonely. Too many suffer from fractured relationships and simultaneously long for deep connection with friends, family members, and co-workers. But the unrelenting persistence of addictions, abuse of authority, and struggle with depression, anxiety, and anger leave people feeling empty and powerless.

Increasing numbers of Christians entering counseling offices wonder why a love for the Lord, obedience to God’s Word, and commitment to clearly defined roles do not result in satisfying intimate relationships. Where did it all go wrong?

Choosing Intimacy offers a refreshing biblical perspective, over 40 years of professional counseling experience, personal insights, and practical skills for overcoming the power struggles that strangle intimacy.

Today, Roberta talks to Michelle Bengston about her new book Sacred Scars: Resting in God's Promise That Your Past Is Not Wasted, available from Revell publishers.

We all endure trials, pain, and hardship in this life. The enemy often uses those experiences to convince us that our brokenness disqualifies us from ever being used by God again--that we can no longer be a testimony because of our emotional or physical scars. The truth is, your past pain and brokenness actually serve as preparation for what God wants to do in you and through you, if you will but surrender to and trust in him.

In Sacred Scars, neuropsychologist and fellow sufferer Dr. Michelle Bengtson helps you

· understand suffering through a biblical perspective
· discover how the trials of your life serve a purpose
· reflect on the healing that God has accomplished
· comfort others with the comfort God has given you

Just as Jesus's scars didn't disappear after his resurrection, our scars tell our story and lend credence to our testimony of the love and power of God. If you are ready to turn your past pain into present comfort and future hope, let Dr. Bengtson be your compassionate guide.

Today, Roberta talks to Cally Logan about her new book The Wallflower that Bloomed: Finding Your Place at the Lunch Table of Life.

Introducing The Wallflower that Bloomed by Cally Logan, an empowering and thought-provoking exploration of the hidden potential within each of us.

In this profound and introspective book, author Cally Logan, renowned for her impactful works Hang In There, Girl! and Dear Future Husband, unveils the untapped brilliance often overlooked in those who adorn the walls of life like forgotten decorations. As children, many of us are burdened with labels such as "shy," "quiet," "awkward," or simply "different." These descriptors, casually assigned by others or even self-imposed, confine us to the sidelines, rendering our voices faint and our presence unnoticed. But within the depths of our being lies a multitude of stories to be shared, perspectives to be offered, and reflections to be pondered.

The Wallflower that Bloomed challenges societal norms that pigeonhole individuals into these predetermined roles of invisibility. With heartfelt sincerity, Cally Logan urges us to strip away the stigma associated with being an outsider, to cease judging those who prefer solitude, and, most importantly, to learn to truly see others for who they authentically are. Moreover, this captivating exploration compels us to reflect upon our own journey towards self-acceptance and self-love.

Instead of resigning ourselves to a life of isolation and judgment, we are invited to embrace the notion that we can stand proudly in our uniqueness, fully blooming into the remarkable beings we were always meant to be.

What if we shattered the preconceived notions and misconceptions that surround individuals labeled as "wallflowers"?

What if we focused on truly knowing, accepting, and appreciating one another for the awe-inspiring qualities that set us apart?

And what if, in the process, we also learned to extend this grace and understanding to ourselves?

The Wallflower that Bloomed sparks an introspective journey, inviting readers to break free from the confines of societal expectations and embrace their inherent worth. With Cally Logan as our compassionate guide, we are encouraged to unleash the dormant potential within us, stepping into the fullness of our being and embracing the brilliance that lies within. Prepare to be inspired, challenged, and transformed as you immerse yourself in The Wallflower that Bloomed.

This book will show you how to model the qualities you want to build in your kids, control anxious thoughts, and help your kids rest in their identities as children of God.
