4.0 out of 5 stars Chocked full of wisdom, March 3, 2007

This review is from: What Happens When Women Say Yes to God: Experiencing Life in Extraordinary Ways (Paperback)

Lysa TerKeurst's book, What Happens When Women Say Yes to God, is all about divine surrender. Through scripture and personal experience, she serves as a guide as to what can be attained through developing a wonderful and complete relationship with God. She begins her story with what took place during a plane ride when God told her to give away her Bible. It was a tremendous decision because her personal Bible had all of her notes and several highlighted, tear-stained memories. Yet, she did as she was guided to do--and it changed not only her life, but the lives of two others.

The author shares that she was adopted by her stepfather when her Mom remarried. As the mother of three biological children, to adopt was a hard decision for her. Yet, once she connected with two teenage boys from war-torn Liberia, Africa, she began to reconsider. She knew that she would have her hands full with five children. Still, she decided to heed God's command, and states in her book how fulfilling life has been since she did that.

Lysa shares many other stories of her life. Her husband and she once found themselves blessed with a little extra money. She excitedly began to plan how she would spend the money. Her husband wanted to give the money to the ministry! She was beside herself because they were always giving and giving. She started out using kind words to persuade him and when that didn't work, she became cold and angry. So, he relented. Yet, God had a lesson in store for her! Once she gave into God's will, she was able to find the peace and the object she had been searching for.

The book is chock full of all kinds of wisdom and direction. There are also numerous Bible Study questions and quotations for all readers to follow. I enjoyed the book and its message.

Lysa TerKeurst is providing a simple word of advice for all women to take to heart: Let Go and Let God!

Armchair Interviews says: Simple but powerful message.

This review is from: What Happens When Women Say Yes to God: Experiencing Life in Extraordinary Ways (Paperback)

We have an Aglow Bible Study with all types of Christian Churches represented and find the Bible Study is perfect for the beginner and the seasoned Christian women. It has flowed with where we are and what
helps each of us. It is not so deep we lose the new Christians and all of us can learn something new from this Book.

We have about 18 ladies involved and I would recommend this for any
Bible Study Group seeking common growth in the common ground of our
belief in Jesus Christ.

This is really a great book. I'm taking it just one chapter at a time for maximum value - I want to remember what I'm reading. Each chapter has a study guide at the end. I would highly recommend this book for those who are interested in a closer walk with God.
