The world's notion of femininity and Gods are totally different. Line up with God's vision of femininity and find yourself and your life transformed. We are not weak nor are we inferior to men as today's feminists believe that men think we are. We are not victims and when we walk according to God's plan for our lives, you can't go wrong.

Wow !
I have learned that with God I am so powerful. (Well actually I knew that);)
If I acquire some of the characteristics of some of the women in the Bible, I will be the woman God wants to me.
This book covers everything. From how we as women treat each other, why we as women are the wayt that we are, and how to respond to men in a proper and respectful manner.
