In this delightful book, Leslie Parrott writes about the power of a woman's life and the ways in which a woman can make a difference in the world. So often, women feel that to find purpose in their lives, it's necessary to make major changes or to do something different. Leslie points out that as Christians, we are called to love God and others...that we are already making a difference through our loving acts and words and that we can make an even bigger difference by growing in our ability to love others.

My favorite books are those that are both ennobling AND enabling. Just like Dr. Parrott's earlier books with her husband, You Matter More Than You Think is one of those books. The poetry and personal experiences that she shares will inspire you to want to be a difference maker. And, the practical tips she provides will give you ideas for translating your dreams into reality. Many of the tips are familiar (e.g., allow painful personal experiences to sensitize you to others' wounds, use the observations of discerning friends to help better understand the difference you can make, and grow in graciousness by cultivating a heart of gratitude). But, the way in which Dr. Parrott puts it all together and shares her personal journey will inspire you to apply these truths in new ways. I highly recommend the book!

In an easy to read manner, the author guides the reader through a dicussion of how life's challenges and "pieces" help us to grow in our walk in Christ, if we allow this process to take place. I particularly loved how she shared her life's big heartbreak and how she SLOWLY was able to come to grips with how God could use it in her life if she let Him. I found the book difficult to put down and enjoy the Band of Sisters I now have in my life!

This book was very inspiring for me. It really helped me to see a new perspective on being a woman and a mother.

This book is much better then I had expected. It makes women stop and think of ourselves in a whole different light and our choices and lives touch all those around us.

This book is an incredible help for every woman.... so thoughtful and insightful. Reading is like spending an afternoon over coffee with the author. You'll love it.

Loved it!

Enjoying YOU MATER MORE THAN YOU THINK personally and through sharing with an Internet Group.

I especially liked discovery beach,my head in the dirt,dream venti and band of sisters.

Wonderful to see that I really matter even at age 88 plus

I reccomend for personl and groups

I really enjoyed this book and it's an easy read. Leslie Parrott shows us a serious as well as a funny side to the things that happened to her in life. She connects these with what the Lord say's in His Word that brings more meaning to life. Leslie shows us how we can use these same lessons and view points to enrich and bring more meaning to our lives and to the trials that we go through in this life.

This is a well written book that gets to the heart of so many issues that women deal with throughout their life. This is an incredible book that works well for women of all ages. A woman is not too young or too old to benefit from this book.

This book creates a beautiful picture of how all the different pieces from our life, both good and bad, join together to make something beautiful and important.

Not only do I recommend buying this book, but also re-reading it every couple of years.

Service in getting the book was very good. The book came in the condition that was given, very satisfied. Would buy again

This is a great book. I read a copy I borrowed twice. Then, I decided to buy one for myself and buy a second copy for a gift.
