LIES WOMEN BELIEVE: AND THE TRUTH THAT SETS THEM FREE
This study has changed my lifeI wish I had it as a young woman instead of at age seventy, but better late than never.
We just finished a weekly Bible study using this book at a nearby womens prison. Many of the women there shed tears and told us repeatedly, If only someone had taught us the Truth when we were outside! But God is using them as missionaries behind bars now, and many ladies are eager to hear the truth of Gods Word and repent and believe.
God is using this book as a tool to heal a disastrous marriage.
I taught this book in a small group, and by the end of the study one of the (older) ladies commented that she would not have divorced if she had been aware of these truths when she was younger.
I bought Lies Women Believe during a particularly hard time in my life. I have been a believer for a long time but had a rebellious spirit. This book ministered to me the way a godly friend would. I rededicated my life to the Lord.
Lies Women Believe literally changed my life. I am an orphan, and this book is like a sister to me.
I teach a Bible study for postabortive women, and I have used Lies Women Believe over and over again. It is a much-needed resource. These women have believed so many lies, including that abortion would solve their crisis pregnancy.
Lies Women Believe was one of the most impacting books (next to the Bible) in my early walk as a Christian. It opened my eyes to the truth of Scripture and the true nature of how God designed us as women!
I went through Lies with some friends soon after it came out (I was a mom of young teens then), and it impacted me so much I wanted to share it with others. I have led three groups of young women in their twenties through the book, and three groups of high school girls through Lies Young Women Believe. I still use principles from the book in my daily life, and its the first study I recommend to others.
I believe this is the only Christian book for women in Bosnia. Because the people are poor, each book sold is getting read many times.
Lies Women Believe changed my life. I had no idea how much I had bought into the worlds lies. The Lord used this book to open my eyes to His truth. I have now led five different groups of women through it, and every time it has impacted me. And wow, what a difference it has made in other womens lives. This book needs to be taught in every church across the world.
To say this book has been eye opening is an understatement. There are so many lies that have controlled me and kept me in bondage my entire life! Now, with the help of my precious Jesus, I am breaking the ties that bind me and finding freedom in the Truth!
I am a converted frazzled, exhausted, joyless, anxious woman, whobecause I recognized that I was being deceived by the lies of Satan when I read Lies Women Believe over three years agoam now filled with joy, peace, and contentment. I was living as if I did not really believe the truth in the Word. Now I am confident in who I am in Christ. He is working in my life to rearrange me from the inside out, and I am so excited to share this freedom with other women, Im about to burst. Ive told everybody, You have to read this book!
