You will find her gracious and giving spirit contagious as you see how God has blessed her as she has surrendered to Him. She truly is a blessed woman of God with a passion to lead women to the heart of God. I highly recommend this book.

Debbies insights on molding and mentoring Gods rough and unpolished daughters provide inspiring hope for the hopeless. Theres an immediate identification with Gods powerful, feminine mentors of the Bible when we realize Gods hearts desire is to use each of us in a very significant way. As Debbie says, we dont realize that our mistakes, weaknesses, and lack that we think would cause Gods opportunities to pass us by actually make us the perfect candidates for His purposes. Truly God is looking for daughters through whom He can show Himself strong and mightyyou and me. Although were not qualified in the natural to do what Hes asking, He is more than ready to equip and empower us to fulfill His passionate vision for each of us. Our deficiencies are Gods opportunity to be God of the impossible.

The Blessed Woman is written with an authentic grace-filled charm that speaks to the heart of every woman at each stage of her life. The books transparency and vulnerability draw the reader in by chronicling the lives of the author and the incredible women of the Bible, making them relatable and real to us. Pastor Debbie unearths their human frailties, fears, and shortcomings, and ultimately their manifested faith and reliance on God, taking them from the conception of their purpose to the birthing of Gods vision through them just like He wants to do with each of us, transforming the ordinary to extraordinary.

I love the heart and soul of Debbie. Not only is she an amazing woman of God, she is also a friend! Her passion and commitment to women is inspiring and captured so well in her new book, The Blessed Woman. Debbie conveys a clear vision of empowering seasoned Christian women to become the mentors that God created them to be, as well as redefining femininity. Im excited to see how her book inspires women to be leaders they are destined to be!

C HRISTINE C AINE

Pastor Debbie is one of the humblest and gentlest women I have met. These character traits peg her as a true leader and as such, anything she has to say or write is something I would listen to and take to heart. Debbies book will help all of us not only believe in ourselves but also step into our roles as women to do the things only women can do.

Debbie Morris has begun the conversation that every Christian woman needs to have. Reading her book, I see now how Debbie is so genuinely herself no matter who she is around. She has let the women of Gods Word truly mentor and shape her soul, and in this book she shows how you can do the same. With mentors like these, its easy to be more shaped by God and less driven by fear of people. Read it. Then have your daughters read it!
