Society beckons us to succeed-to achieve excellence in our appearance, our earning power, our family life. God Himself also beckons us to be women of excellence. But what exactly is He asking?

"If the goal of our pursuit is not clear," writes Cynthia Heald, "we risk losing sight of what it is we're striving for." In this motivational Bible study for both married and single women, you will discover what you should be striving for as you look to God's excellence as a model.
Striking at the heart of what the Bible has to say about becoming a godly woman, these 12 lessons will help you understand what excellence means. The author's personal reflections as well as quotes from Christian thinkers help make each lesson fresh and relevant for your life, and challenging questions will help you apply each new insight in life-changing ways.

If you're hungry for God's perspective on success in a society that bombards you with conflicting demands, feed on the truths of God's Word that you'll discover in these pages. You will not only learn to "approve the things that are excellent," but you will experience the joy of becoming God's woman of excellence.
