About this title

Synopsis

In Women of Character, Debra Evans introduces a dozen biblical and historical figures whose lives exemplify six life-changing character traits of a godly woman: Brokenness - spiritual awakening through repentance; Belief - the power of faith in the face of adversity; Surrender - intimacy through total yieldedness; Obedience - the transformational freedom of obeying God; Devotion - the wealth of a worshipful heart; and Service - replacing self-direction with God's calling. With a refreshingly accessible depth of thought, Evans portrays flesh-and-blood women with whom you'll immediately identify, from the wide-eyed adolescent to the jaded harlot. Their problems were the same as those we face today: Lack of faith. Loveless marriage. Sexual sin. Loneliness and loss. And though their stories span centuries, the pattern is clear - God's blessing of our lives arrives when our deeper hunger drives us to seek his presence in the face of adversity.
Woven throughout Women of Character are poignant prayers, interviews with contemporary women, and writings by classic Christian thinkers. More than an abstract devotional, Women of Character will change forever the way you think about saints. In these remarkable tales of empowerment, focus, and meaningful living, you will see the exquisite pattern God laid out for women throughout history - and be inspired to find your own place among "the company of heaven."

From AudioFile

Debra Evans introduces the listener to various biblical and historical characters who demonstrate six godly and admirable traits. In a kind and soft-spoken style, Evans reflects on women's frenzied lifestyles in a confusing world void of role models. She then interprets these six incredible tales in a tranquil and peaceful manner that reflects her own Christian devotion. She has the uncanny ability to calm and quiet the listener with her storytelling by creating a sense of peacefulness. Evans captures the true and individual spirit of each of these women born centuries ago. Through thoughtful narration she constructs a bridge of understanding to reach today's women. B.J. P.
