Title: A WOMAN’S SECRET FOR CONFIDENT LIVING
Author: Karol Ladd
Publisher: Harvest House
August 2011
ISBN: 978-0-7369-2965-3
Genre: Inspirational/nonfiction/women’s issues
Who are you really… beneath the surface?
Let’s be honest. Do you have confidence in your own abilities? How do you define ourselves? With money, a nice home, beautiful things, or your looks? Do you struggle with insecurity and self-confidence?
According to the author, women today judge themselves by what they see on TV. They never feel they are “enough” because they fail to recognize their identity is found in a deeper source. Karol Ladd will show you, in the pages of this book that when you understand your purpose and “walk with God-confidence” you will become what God intended you to be.
In the pages of A WOMAN’S SECRET FOR CONFIDENT LIVING, Ms. Ladd shows us how to:
1. Transform your thinking through powerful prayers
2. Cultivate potential by exploring the dreams God gives you
3. Step forward with a strong sense of identity in Christ
4. Deepen relationships and communications with others and with God
5. Shine with joy and assurance of what you bring to the world
Written as a book to study with a group of women, each chapter is short, and easy to read, where Ms. Ladd or someone else shares a story or two, then the lesson is taught with Scripture, and then a “application” so you can apply what you read and learned to your own life. Plus discussion questions are included (at the end of the book.)
English is my “thing” so I was really interested in the word studies there she dug into the root of different words to really show us what is meant by certain things. I found that quite fascinating. Ms. Ladd gives hints in the preface about how to find a group, and showed us how she formed her first group to study with, so even if your church doesn’t have small groups, you can still form a group of co-workers, neighbors, close friends, or whatever, and study it together.
If you are looking to become more confident as who God made you to be (and who isn’t) then A WOMAN’S SECRET FOR CONFIDENT LIVING will be a book you should pick up. I read this through quickly for review, but this is a book designed to take slowly, with other women, so you can get the fullest benefit from it. There is also a DVD set that goes with it. There are plenty of lined pages at the back of the book for taking your own notes. $12.99. 220 pages.

Who does God want you to be? Have you ever thought of that? Do you think you have arrived at the point and are living out your life as God intended? Karol Ladd's new book, will guide you in the right direction for finding the answers to these questions.
A short, easy to read book that you can study alone, or with a group of girlfriends, you will find out that God has much more for you, than most of us are attaining to.
Find your value and you identity in Christ. Be confident, but don't expect the confidence of the world to be the confidence you need in life. Grow your relationships, God's way! Bring joy and assurance to the people around you. All of these subjects and topics are covered in this book, she ends each section with confidence building steps for you to follow. Definitely you will not want to miss out on this book.
My favorite part of the book is the "Glorious Makeover" (chapter seven) we often focus on the outside too much and forget our true beauty comes from within and that if we seek His kingdom first that our true beauty will shine!
This book will bless you with the little side stories (I loved the one about the southern woman telling her that her dress 'flatters you to bits'), each story brings significance to the section it is related in. A great book that I will happily pass along to friends to share. 207 pages 4 stars.

Confidence is knowing who you are in Christ and believing that there is something bigger than you or your problems. Standing on a solid foundation of faith will give you confidence in all aspects of your life. Loved the confidence builders in this book. Recommended to all women who have faith that they are not alone in this crazy world.

Great book for anyone battling the voice in your head that brings up the negatives rather than the positives. Her "homework" at the end of each chapter had great information which reinforced the chapter. I've underlined so much of the book as each chapter had so much I found beneficial. And she references one of my favorite hymns - Glorious Day.

This book did not give much information. The author did teach about the bible. It was nice to be reminded about these things but the book was boring to me. It contained simple stuff that I already knew.

Wonderful for a group Bible Study.

October 22, 2018This is a study of the book of Colossians. I liked the text of the book and what she has to say. The questions and the video left me feeling that she missed the point at times. That is, that Christ is in us, is our life, etc.
