About this ebook
For All Women Who Want Faith that Engages Their Hearts and Minds
God has given every woman the ability to have an extraordinary faith--one that involves both the heart and the mind. Yet many women's faith is grounded solely in their hearts, leaving them unable to defend their faith or susceptible to the latest spiritual fads.
In this book, Patty includes real-life stories and examples, including her own experience coming to Christ after a ten-year search for truth. She reveals how beliefs are not just about the intellect--they play an active role in behavior, in relationships, and in families. Finally, she demonstrates how you can share and defend your faith to those you love in a persuasive yet relational way.
Includes questions for personal study and large or small groups.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The book surprised me. It is much deeper and more involved than I imagined by the cover title. The old adage is true, "you can't judge a book by it's cover." That said, I enjoyed it and learned a lot. I've met various people I've befriended over the years, one is Mormon, one is Wicca, one is Agnostic, one is an ex-Catholic who doesn't know what she believes anymore being hurt by the Church. So, there is a big open door for me personally to utilize the teachings in this particular book to be able to answer any questions and be an effective witness for Christ, written by a very knowledgeable Christian Apologist. There is a brief inventory checklist in the appendix that let's a woman gauge where she is in regard to what she believes. Also, an overview of Theological worldviews which is very informative a well. Notes, references, glossary of technical terms in the back were really helpful. I would definitely recommend this book to any woman who wants to share her faith in this 21st century with it's mix of world religions and cultures. I received this book from Bethany House Publishers in exchange for an honest review.
