The Intentional Woman

For Women with a Heart for God
Are you being pulled in a thousand directions at once?
Women have so many options—career, family, church, community—that it’s easy for them to feel pulled in a thousand different directions and lose track of who they are. Co-authors Joan C. Webb and Carol Travilla have felt the pull of conflicting priorities and desires, and have faced confusing transitions through different seasons of life. Together they have developed an inviting, re-usable five-step process using questions, surveys, diagrams, and biblical guidance that will help women rediscover who they are and track a path toward intentional living—living as God uniquely designed them to live.
Do you long to know and love God more intimately?
If you answered "yes", then this book is for you! The Intentional Woman is geared toward Christian women who take their life and spiritual commitment seriously, yet find themselves sometimes struggling to accomplish their personal and spiritual goals. It’s a valuable tool to help women (individually or in groups) take inventory of who they are and will help them journey toward living an intentional, God-honoring life within the context of their current life season.
Each woman will be assisted in becoming proactive, instead of "just letting life happen to her." She will gain perspective about:

Each woman will be assisted in becoming proactive, instead of "just letting life happen to her." She will gain perspective about:
- Who she is now: present roles, behavioral tendencies, and life stage.
- Where she has been: her past experiences and accomplishments.
