Kim Gaines Eckert / IVP Books (InterVarsity Press)Subject: Pastoral Helps; Women
p $15 ISBN:9780830833733
Women who long for wholeness, admit something is missing, and are willing to engage on a journey toward emotional healing are stronger than they think, Gaines Eckert says. As a practicing counselor, she uses helpful examples and real-life situations. Her realistic approach offers tips, suggestions, activities, and images to assist readers on the journey, but acknowledges there’s no quick fix to life’s deep pains and difficulties.
“God’s intent is not to help us avoid pain and maximize pleasure,” she says. Rather, God intends to help us grow up in Christ, as we find wholeness in community with Him and others.
Stronger Than You Think is ideal for group study, as each chapter concludes with “Tools for the Journey,” and the concluding section is dedicated to discussion/reflection questions. Readers who take the message to heart will find Stronger Than You Think worth far more than the suggested retail price.

Thanks for stopping by my blog, Carrie. You go to TG? I just recently begun attending there. I'm glad to meet you. Maybe we'll run into each other at church sometime.
Hey sissy, are you stronger than I think?
Hey Carrie, it's been a while. Hope you are doing well.
I recently read the book, A Grace Disguised, and it was about how God uses the losses in our lives to deepen us. Loved it. So profound. This sounds like a good book.
Hope to connect in 2007 with you.
