Title: God’s Trophy Women Author: Jacqueline Jakes Publisher: Warner Faith ISBN: 0-446-57782-0 Genre: Christian Living
God’s Trophy Women is an almost devotional style book meant to encourage women enduring hardships by reminding them that God looks upon them as winners—as trophies He molded—and as treasures.
The book contains chapters with titles like:
. Little women: Little girls with big problems . The making of a trophy . When God’s best is bitter . Finishing touches and much more.
The chapters are divided up into a verse, and inspirational thought, and then a story by some of God’s trophy women, such as Jacqueline Jakes, Joni Eareckson Tada and other well-known women. A poem, prayer, and questions for reflection are included. The only thing that is really keeping this from being a devotional is the lack of an application.
God’s Trophy Women teaches us that as women we are blessed and highly favored by God, even if we don’t win tangible trophies, like Jacqueline Jakes has, or national acclaim like Joni Eareckson Tada. God still treasures us, even if our only claim to fame is being the best cook in the neighborhood, or a great singer in the church choir. Readers will learn secrets for survival, their pathways to success, and the qualities necessary to shine in their own lives. $14.99. 208 pages. |
