She's Got Issues: Seriously Good News for Stressed-Out, Secretly Scared Control Freaks Like Us [Paperback]

Nicole Unice (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 18, 2012

We’ve all got our issues! Maybe you feel like life just isn’t going your way, or you’re afraid that you don’t measure up to other people’s expectations. Perhaps you have a hard time managing your temper or have someone in your life you just can’t forgive. We deal with our “issues” every day in one form or another; the problem is, after a while, they start to feel . . . normal. Unchanging. Just part of who we are. And we forget that we have access to the power of Christ—a power that can transform our everyday weaknesses into our greatest strengths and gifts.

In She’s Got Issues, Christian counselor, ministry leader, and regular mom Nicole Unice explores the ordinary issues that are keeping you from the full and free life you were meant to have. Applying years of counseling with practical scriptural teaching and a fresh and authentic voice, Nicole shows you how to let God freely shape your character—and transform your life from ordinary to abundant.

5.0 out of 5 stars She's Got Issues {and seriously good news} October 5, 2012

By Natasha Metzler

Format:DVD-ROM

The women who have been coming on Tuesday evenings are warm, fun, and faith-filled. They are also insecure, controlling, fearful and angry. Basically, they're just like you.

Following the guidelines of Nicole Unice's new DVD group experience based on her book She's Got Issues, we've been meeting to talk, eat some food, watch a teaching clip and share our hearts.
Of course, I love taking time to interact with women, {I also love the excuse to bake yummy treats and light a few candles.} but my favorite part about this experience has been that the book and the teachings are so, so good and so, so applicable.

Each week there is something heart-grabbing that stops me in my tracks and gives me an "ah-ha" moment. Something that sends me searching through scripture and underlining or scribbling notes.

Complete with quizzes to help you understand your weak points, teaching to direct you back to what God would say, printable journaling prompts and a great clip just for leaders- the DVD experience of She's Got Issues has everything you need for a successful group study.

In the introduction Nicole takes time to explain how the book came to be and to give a little glimpse into her personal walk with God. It's a beautiful story and so full of grace that it makes you hungry for more.

Even if you can't do a group study, the DVD is a wonderful tool for personal use.

I received this book and DVD from Tyndale Publishers in exchange
for my honest review.

5.0 out of 5 stars Connection and Recognition April 17, 2012

By Jacky

Format:Paperback

While the title alone brings an instant sense of connection and recognition, Nicole Unice takes women of all ages well beyond the world of "self-help" books. Unice invites the reader to have the courage to recognize those things that have left us with a life of inward frustration and longing for more - all while keeping an appearance of "me...what issues?" She guides us with a biblical and theological depth to a place of hope and engagement for God's transforming work in our lives for His purposes. "She Has Issues" is a book to be shared with every friend because we are all on the same journey.
