Women and Stress: A Practical Approach to Managing Tension

The authors address the inescapable sources of tension in the lives of modern women. They examine troublesome emotions and show how to manage tension with practical, tried-and-true methods gleaned from research and case studies.

Have you ever asked yourself, "What's the point?"

Of this life. Of the same everydayness that can weigh on us. Is life really a gift from a loving God? If so, shouldn't our souls burn to love him back with our lives? What does that look like?

In The Return, bestselling author Lacey Sturm offers a collection of thoughts on how Jesus helps us see the world with new eyes and makes the mundane things in life beautiful. It's a guidebook from a fellow traveler on how grace helps us--to overcome darkness, to release our empty rituals, to shine with his light. Not so God will love us more but because we long to love him back. And a life lived loving God back is a life that shines with heaven's glory.   

Are you striving to make life happen? Waiting to get to the real purpose of it all? Coasting in limbo or heading down the wrong path? Then may this openhearted take on responding to God's love give you hope and direction.
"The Return is a refreshing, inspiring, heart-shaking, and soul-stirring book. This is an important book for our culture. It is an encouraging and beautiful depiction of how the Lord sees us and a great motivator to refocus, realign, and replace 'our plans' with his. I'm sitting here touched, and speechless, after reading it."--Trevor McNevan, Thousand Foot Krutch
