Women of Passions by Jan Ross and Jeanice McDade

Women of Passions: Ordinary Women Serving an Extraordinary God is a remarkable collection of stories and inspirational prose providing the reader with a powerful connection to the Heart of God. Women from various backgrounds and walks of life open their hearts revealing life as it really is...no fluff but pure honesty and transparency, sharing pain and victories, concerns and passions, strivings and worries and disappointments, all with a personal revelation of God's intervention leading to an unparalleled peace.

Whether you're a mother, a wife, an empty-nester, a single mom, unmarried, a career woman, a widow, a mother of a emotionally or physically challenged child, a non-custodial mom...whether a young adult or a seasoned saint, you'll identify with the treasure of realness captured in this book.

One thing we learned in writing and compiling these stories is that no two women are exactly alike but there is a profoundly common thread in every life--We all find ourselves reckoning with life's circumstances at the foot of the Cross of Calvary. We've learned there is no victory apart from Jesus Christ yet none of us have found the path to surrender to be an easy road. God's absolute faithfulness has made life possible--He's made it possible for us to carry on, move forward, and know that "all things work together for good to those who love God and are called according to His purposes" (Romans 8:28).

Regardless of your age, vocation, personal interests or level of spiritual maturity, the stories in this book will lead you to your knees in prayer, to your feet in thanksgiving, or to the phone to share with your closest friend. You're guaranteed to find at least one story that you will quickly identify with, one chapter that will give you hope no matter your given circumstances in life.

Used as a devotional, shared in a small group setting for discussion, or picked up when there are only a few free minutes in your busy day, you are invited to press beyond your comfort zone to experience the unexplainably passionate love shared between a woman and her God.
