Standing Strong: A Woman's Guide to Overcoming Adversity and Living with Confidence

Product Information

Since I was a teenager, I knew I wanted to help young people. My dream was to help children and teens to feel heard, connected, inspired and empowered to believe in themselves, and follow their dreams.

Again, we can look to Saul to illustrate this point. The name Saul means “desired or asked for.” And certainly, that’s what he was. People wanted to know him and sought his counsel and favor. In Philippians 3, Paul describes his résumé as a Pharisee—one that would impress anyone in that day: If you answer yes to any of the questions below then our support may be useful to you. You may also wish to discuss your risk of falling with your doctor. If you are aged 65 or over: I believe that "This is not how the story is going to end.". I expect there will be more triumph from Ms. Reeve to come.

Dr. Stanley’s motivation is best represented by the truth found in Acts 20:24, “Life is worth nothing unless I use it for doing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus—the work of telling others the Good News about God's mighty kindness and love.” This is because, as he says, “It is the Word of God and the work of God that changes people’s lives.” In fact, the name Paul is a derivative of the word paúo, which means “to cease or desist.” What an incredible illustration of how his focus changed. He went from building his life on his own strengths, wisdom, and virtues to ceasing to be of importance at all—to considering himself nothing so Christ could have preeminence in his life. He as much said this when he wrote, “I do not consider my life of any account as dear to myself, so that I may finish my course and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus” (Acts 20:24). All of his dreams, all of his understanding, anything he could point to as giving him worth—every bit of it became nothing because Jesus became everything. Because the truth of the matter is, it usually isn’t when we’re feeling tough and confident that we go looking for books on standing strong. It’s not when we’re secure and assured that we need encouragement. Rather, it’s when the future is unsure. We become aware that we might not be as successful as we thought, and we long to know how to make it through—and how to do so well. It’s when the burdens get heavy, the challenges we face seem impossible, or the obstacles that stare at us from the horizon appear overwhelming. That’s when we realize that we are in danger of being less than we’d hoped to be or, worse, failing altogether. That’s when we reach out for wisdom about how to stand. Thankfully, once we accept Christ as our foundation, the right building materials and appropriate techniques will fall into place—if we will truly entrust our entire lives to Him.

Jesus says that if we want to withstand the inevitable storms, our lives must be based on something that cannot be moved—something that nothing in eternity can overturn. And friend, the only thing that will last forever is an intimate relationship with God. We may be drawn to things that promise to endure a long time, but nothing in this world will outlast the Lord Almighty. The dream for Standing Strong was to create a place where children could go to feel uplifted, inspired and supported, throughout the challenges and triumphs of growing up.

Taher and family, Middle East: “We have not paid any price [for our faith] yet” 

Thank you to NetGalley, HCI Books and Diane Reeve for an ARC of this novel in exchange for an honest review. Boy, her story was just mind blowing, it's so real and really heartbreaking. We can all feel the emotions that spin through her head. When she sees a red flag it's so easy to explain these little quirks away She's in love with the man, he's like her Knight in a shiny armor. He's everything she's wants and needs. So she puts her blinders on and knows that she can love him through whatever made her suspicious. Psalm 90:2 reminds us that God existed before the dawn of time and will continue to remain when time itself is no more: “Before the mountains were born or You gave birth to the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God.” Official Afrobeats Chart Top 20 | Official Charts Company". www.officialcharts.com .
