Wielding Femininity to the Glory of God

Media teaches that all is fair in love and lust and the woman with the tightest tee-shirt wins. But when men, money, and the mirror fail us and our feminine wiles betray us, God rescues. Jesus reclaims. The Holy Spirit retrains us to wield our femininity-not our wiles-to the glory of God. But for those who are stuck in between wielding our wiles and wielding a mighty witness for Christ, we resonate with the temptations of biblical women like Eve, Deborah, Delilah, Abigail, Jezebel, the Shulammite, Hannah, and Potiphar's wife. They faced the same struggles that we face today. They grieved. We grieve. They doubted. We doubt. They felt the pull of lust. We feel it still. In the Wielding Femininity to the Glory of God Bible study, the writing team of Shabby Chic Ministries delves into the lives of eight women who texture the biblical landscape with feminine victories and defeats, refurbishing their stories into lessons for women today. Each chapter study blends expositional, verse-by-verse interaction with the Old Testament and relevant, vulnerable stories from the various women of Shabby Chic Ministries. Readers will be challenged to remove the world's seductive messages from their leopard-print purses and to refill them with eight arrows of Truth-"e;Words to Wield."e; This is the digital companion to the printed version with coordinated music CD available only on the Shabby Chic Ministries website. Shabby Chic Ministries is a 501c3 non-profit ministry developing Bible studies with coordinated music CDs. They equip women's ministries with messages and music that encourage women to grow in unity and in purity so they can be chandeliers of Christ in their city and to the nations.
