A Woman of Strength and Purpose: Directing Your Strong Will to Improve Relationships, Expand Influence, and Honor God
Cynthia Tobias. Waterbrook, $15.99 ISBN 978-1-60142-898-1
Tobias, who considers herself a strong-willed woman (SWW), invites other tough-minded women to quit beating themselves up for not fitting into gender stereotypes and use their fortitude to improve their own lives as well as those around them. She opens her upbeat and informative text with a definition of an SWW that includes many positives and a few negatives, warning that the norm for an SWW is to be passionate, persistent, highly effective, and sometimes a little bossy with her recommendations. Rather than trying to squelch all the good that SWWs do in this life, Tobias guides readers to live out their calling with strength and grace. Tobias shares practical suggestions of leading with integrity, directing one’s passion, living a married life as a SWW, and mentoring the next generation. Readers will find countless suggestions for better understanding their own SWW tendencies and learn how to make the most use of this dynamic temperament. (Aug.)
