From the Back Cover

RUN THE RACE WITH FREEDOM. The Christian life is supposed to be like a race-a race we run freely, unhindered by the burdens of this life. But often, the baggage we carry holds us back. It deprives us of our freedom in Christ and makes the race seem strenuous and futile. No matter what your age, circumstance, or spiritual maturity, Cynthia Heald will help you identify and lay aside the burdens that can make you feel "stuck," including past hurt and loss, poor self-image, approval-seeking, busyness, doubt and fear, and unhealthy influences.

5.0 out of 5 stars Becoming a woman of freedom is truly a possibility!, April 7, 2000

Lisa A. Snyder (United States --- Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Becoming a Woman of Freedom (Paperback)

Becoming a Woman of Freedom is a great growing tool for chronic worriers. Not only is the topic of worry addressed (along with many other things) the book constatnly takes the reader back to God's Word, to see what He has to say about the subject.

The book is an easy to read, thought provoking study and addresses those things that slow us down or hinder us as we "run the race" of the Christian life.

Always, in this book, there is a focus on Christ and how He lived His life. What a great example to follow!

The format is flexible in that each study can be used individually, or in a group.

Becoming a Woman of Freedom was a birthday present from my husband and is one of the best he could have gotten. Working through this study has uplifted, encouraged and challenged me. God has worked greatly through this book to help me grow in Him!

Hallelujah!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Bible study for women, March 2, 2008

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Becoming a Woman of Freedom (Paperback)

This book was used by a group of 11 college age women as a Bible study. One primary goal of the study was to spend time in God's Word and learn how to go deeper in our relationship with the Lord in applying scriptural principles to our lives and our relationships with others. This is the second Cynthia Heald study book we have used, with very positive feedback from the women involved in the study. It has generated great discussion, bringing relevant life issues under scrutiny as to how we live and incorporate our faith in a genuine way with our behavior and thought patterns.
There are rich quotes from men and women of the Christian faith and the study questions go deep into scripture, challenging the participants to spend quality time in His Word as we seek to know His will and desire for how we are to live our lives.

Great book, easy to read. I reading through this book with a group of women, and all of us appreciate the length of the chapters (good content, but short enough to not feel overwhelming) and the way that this study gets us consistently reading Bible passages and verses.
