I enjoyed "Woman of Influence" so much that I'd like to influence you to read it to! This book focus' on character developement, leadership qualities, prayer, etc. I couldn't put it down. I was left encouraged and at the same time, challanged with the excitement of growth yet to come in my life. Thank you, Pam!

Women don't need to be spiritual super-stars to be used in ministry. But they do need to keep on growing so they can keep on reaching out. Pam's book helps women see the call to mentor other women as part of the spiritual maturity process. She does this by discussing how to develop ten character traits, all starting with "I": impassioned, individual, intimate, idealistic, interdependent, initiative, integrity, intense, inquiring, and infectious. Stories from great women of the past, those living today, and women whose lives have intersected with Pam's, all help readers see how God can develop those traits in their own lives. Mid-way through her book, Pam detours to describe what she calls "Project Esther." This is a challenge to women to remember the example of Queen Esther, the unlikely vessel God chose to do the impossible (to save the Jews from Persian annihilation). Pam's earlier involvement with Campus Crusade is reflected in her admonition to identify a unique skill (Esther's was a royal dinner party) as a means to share one's faith. For example, one woman turned a gingerbread house party into an evangelistic opportunity. Each chapter ends with an application section called "Living It Out." The book also has a personal devotional guide and a small-group discussion guide. Pam's conversational style makes you feel like you're being personally mentored by her. Her content is solid and will stir you to greater spiritual impact if truly studied and applied.

Woman of Influence presents 10 characteristics that are foundational to making an impact on others.

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
In a day and age when many leaders' lives don't match their exhortations the emphasis of this book is sorely needed. Certainly, if we are people of integrity, have inquiring minds and live infectious lives (just to mention 3 of the 10 traits the author covers), we are bound to influence others. So, Pam Farrel's message is clear that any woman can be a person of infuence.
My disappointment came from the expectation that she would state specific actions that I can take to be a more influential person. Since the book seemed to be designed more to be a general exhortation to touch the lives of those around you, it fell short of my hopes and thus gets 3 stars.
If you are looking for a basic book on character development, then Woman of Influence should benefit you. However, if you want to really learn specific steps to transform the behavior of others, may I suggest Influencer by Patterson, Grenny and others.
