The Christian life is supposed to be like a race; a
race we run freely, unhindered by the burdens of this life. All too often, however, the baggage we
carry holds us back. It deprives us of our freedom in Christ and makes the race seem strenuous
and futile.
If you ever feel that you're not making progress, lacking joy, or being weighed down by your
Christian life-in spite of all you're doing to grow and serve-Becoming a Woman of Freedom will
give you a fresh start.
No matter what your age, circumstances, or spiritual maturity, Cynthia
Heald will help you identify and lay aside the burdens that can make you feel "stuck," including
past hurts and losses, poor self-image, approval-seeking, busyness, doubt and fear, and unhealthy
influences.
"The goal of this study," writes Cynthia Heald, "is to help and encourage you through the
Word, through the thoughts of those who have run the race ahead of you, and
through your own reflections on the race you are running."
With challenging insights and
thought-provoking
quotations from classic thinkers and writers, Becoming a Woman of Freedom will put you on the
road to freedom-and help you develop the actions and attitudes you'll need to finish the race with
strength.
