Book Description

Publication Date: June 29, 2001

Today's young women are bombarded with messages contrary to the Christian life. They need a clear vision of purpose in order to walk as "princesses in God's court." For Such a Time as This: The Disciplines of Destiny, by Lisa Ryan, cohost of The 700 Club, helps women from the ages of twelve to twenty-five find their unique gifts and destinies. It draws on the biblical example of Esther, as well as modern-day role models, to deliver nugget-sized lessons on character traits such as courage, chastity, grace, and dignity. For Such a Time as This will transform young readers into mature women of God.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Life of a Queen, September 13, 2001

This review is from: For Such a Time as This: Your Identity, Purpose, and Passion (Paperback)

For Such a Time as This.....as I write, Peter Jeninnings is on the TV about the act of War on our country in NYC. Ladies, we have been called to the kingdom for such of time as this. The world is looking for real women with real answers and real hope. Lisa Ryan spells out some real lessons for young girls and young women a like in order to get us in a position to be the salt and light of the world. We are living in a time where young girls are standing up for God and His kingdom here on Earth. We have been called to be with HIM to have a divine destiny and run after the passions of the KING. This is a practical book that helps women discern from society's view on womanhood and God's purpose for women. It is a quick read. I could not put it down.

It has a journal questions in the back of each chapter as well as key verses. This is a book that is backed with and built on the word of God. It can be used as a Bible study for small group. The chapters are short and keep the readers attention. This is a great gift to a young woman to be accompanied by a journal and a girly pen.

My sisters.......go to be the women that God has called you to be.

4.0 out of 5 stars Esther 101, April 29, 2002

This review is from: For Such a Time as This: Your Identity, Purpose, and Passion (Paperback)

Esther's story is my favorite story in the Bible. She was a very strong woman who was fearless (she was not afriad to be herself). Lisa Ryan has done a great job applying this fabulous story to life as a young woman today. I found that the writing was somewhat silly (Mrs. Ryan sometimes used slang never spoken by anyone outside of middle school), but the message was awesome. Every girl should read this book!

It's a decent book, and I remember that I really liked the parts about Esther. A little bit on the superficial side, but a good book nontheless.
