Encouraging hopeful words and scripture for all women all over the world who are going through something. Depression, anxiety, fear, anger, guilt, pain and everyday challenges that keep us stuck in that place of hopelessness in a chaotic world. Freedom can be found in Jesus Christ and I am a living testimony to that! Tired of just crawling out of the ditch, only to get pulled back in or we see no hope or changes happening so we literally jump back in because it is easier and it is more comfortable than upheavalling our whole life. Healing doesn't have to be extremely challenging and painful but sometimes it is if we want lasting complete healing. These 31 days with me are real, raw, deep and funny and I believe life changing. So, when I say grab a coffee and just sit and read each day with me and let the scriptures and some of my most personal testimony sink down deep...it can truly be that simple to start. Encouraging words and kindness, and knowing someone else has been through it, can have a beautiful strengthening effect on us.

Many of us tend to live as though Jesus represents the "spiritual part" of our lives. We don't clearly see how he relates to the rest of our experiences, desires, and habits. How can Jesus, the Bible, and Christianity become more than a compartmentalized part of our lives? Highly regarded New Testament scholar and popular teacher Jonathan Pennington argues that we need to recover the lost biblical image of Jesus as the one true philosopher who teaches us how to experience the fullness of our humanity in the kingdom of God. Jesus teaches us what is good, right, and beautiful and offers answers to life's big questions: what it means to be human, how to be happy, how to order our emotions, and how we should conduct our relationships. This book brings Jesus and Christianity into dialogue with the ancient philosophers who asked the same big questions about finding meaningful happiness. It helps us rediscover biblical Christianity as a whole-life philosophy, one that addresses our greatest human questions and helps us live meaningful and flourishing lives.

In this all new book, she will prompt readers to never settle and not miss out on the beauty that can be found in times of “waiting.” The Single Woman Says: “Whether you’re idling in stubborn sinfulness or walking in seeming never-ending singleness or living with any sort of waiting: Waiting for love, waiting for babies, waiting for marriage, waiting for a cure, or a miracle, or a sign, or for GOD . . . I hope my journey will make the wait a little easier and the uncertainty a little bit more beautiful.” Starting with relationships, but going beyond into areas like career, friendships, and life, Mandy will guide readers through what you can achieve if you look beyond your current circumstances, never settle for less than what God has for you, and find beauty in the waiting.
