She Believes: Embracing the Life You Were Created to Live

Debbie Lindell with Susy Flory. Revell, $15.99 trade paper (272p) ISBN 978-0-8007-2442-9

Lindell, a pastor's wife, speaker, and founder of the Designed for Life Women's Conference, offers a simple message to her female audience: God designed you and he loves you. Lindell's text covers the gamut of scenarios and situations where many women struggle to feel competent, accepted, and cherished. She implores Christ followers to understand that they were designed on purpose and that believing changes the heart, affects the mind and spirit, and makes companionship even better. Lindell shares her own lifelong feelings of inadequacy with tender transparency, then rallies to share her experiences cheerleading other women to biblically sound self-esteem. She describes common pitfalls women face as they attempt to prove their value to others and steers women directly back to God's word. Lindell's message is full of hope and positivity, which women will find timely no matter what season of life they are in. (Oct.)
