Synopsis

Before Soar! and He-Motions brought his inspirational words to men and women everywhere, The Lady, Her Lover, and Her Lord brought Bishop T. D. Jakes to the forefront of America’s bestselling Christian authors.

The Lady, Her Lover, and Her Lord is as provocative as it is profound—a truly inspiring volume that shows today’s women how to improve their relationships with their men, their God, and themselves. In a society that asks women to be perfect, sweet, sexy, submissive, and pristine, T. D. Jakes offers a spiritual path that cuts through the mixed messages and leads women toward the true self God wants them to be: strong, loving, and real.

About this title

Review:

T.D. Jakes's insights and expressions are balm for every woman's soul. As he explains so compassionately, we have lost sight of "the lady," and it is a loss that continues to buffet women and misdirect men. Jakes eschews condemnation and exposes the lies that have cloaked women in sorrow, helping women to stand in the beauty, strength, and confidence God intended.

Bishop Jakes, church founder, pastor, and author of numerous books, including the bestselling Woman, Thou Art Loosed!, structures this book in three parts. In the first, he gently takes the hand of every woman who has been ill-used, crippled in the innermost being, and shows her what is truly beautiful about the feminine. In part two, he opens the door for communication between husband and wife, lover and friend. Part three brings alive the passion of the Lord for women, this most exquisite of His creations.

Much has been lost. Weep with Bishop Jakes over the pain to which women have succumbed. But loss is not forever. In fact, any woman reading this book will likely feel something emerge within her, something long forgotten but something that rings of truth. --Ann Weinheimer

From the Back Cover:

In his million-copy bestseller, Woman, Thou Art Loosed!, Bishop T. D. Jakes showed women how to heal the wounds of the past and forge ahead into the future. Now, Bishop Jakes offers inspired advice for women who want to enrich their relationships -- with themselves, their men, and with their God...

As one of the most dynamic spiritual leaders of our time, Bishop Jakes knows the challenges women face from a society that asks them to be perfect, sweet, sexy, submissive, pristine...to be anything and everything but the one thing God wants them to be: real. He knows how hard it is for women to overcome abuse that has damaged their self-worth -- and how seeking solace in meaningless, or even destructive, habits won't take away the pain. And he knows that even with the burdens of the world on her shoulders, it is possible for a woman to be set free. Now, in this deeply moving book, he brings us a message of Good News and hope -- reminding us that we are all holy in the eyes of the Lord, redirecting our energies and expectations toward a more profitable path, and revealing how we can turn the three most important relationships in our lives around...for good.
