Woman of Influence: Ten Traits of Those Who Want to Make a Difference

I am journeying through this book with my mentor and up to this point I love it. I think we all need to take a moment to find our influence, what we are made of, and what we do with what we have been given. My prayer is in the end I will have learned and put into action "more of what God has designed me to be".

Women don't need to be spiritual super-stars to be used in ministry. But they do need to keep on growing so they can keep on reaching out. Pam's book helps women see the call to mentor other women as part of the spiritual maturity process. She does this by discussing how to develop ten character traits, all starting with "I": impassioned, individual, intimate, idealistic, interdependent, initiative, integrity, intense, inquiring, and infectious. Stories from great women of the past, those living today, and women whose lives have intersected with Pam's, all help readers see how God can develop those traits in their own lives. Mid-way through her book, Pam detours to describe what she calls "Project Esther." This is a challenge to women to remember the example of Queen Esther, the unlikely vessel God chose to do the impossible (to save the Jews from Persian annihilation). Pam's earlier involvement with Campus Crusade is reflected in her admonition to identify a unique skill (Esther's was a royal dinner party) as a means to share one's faith. For example, one woman turned a gingerbread house party into an evangelistic opportunity. Each chapter ends with an application section called "Living It Out." The book also has a personal devotional guide and a small-group discussion guide. Pam's conversational style makes you feel like you're being personally mentored by her. Her content is solid and will stir you to greater spiritual impact if truly studied and applied.

This bok WILL help Christian women who want to be an influence in someone elses life. It will also help you in almost every arena of your walk with God. A very easy to read and understand book filled with stories. I highly reccommend this book to any woman who wants to make a difference. Also a great book for bible studies or to read on your own!

I enjoyed "Woman of Influence" so much that I'd like to influence you to read it to! This book focus' on character developement, leadership qualities, prayer, etc. I couldn't put it down. I was left encouraged and at the same time, challanged with the excitement of growth yet to come in my life. Thank you, Pam!
