Lies Women Believe by Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth {Book Review}


Title: Lies Women Believe (Updated & Expanded)

Author: Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth

Age: Adult

Publication Date: February 6, 2018

Publisher: Moody Publishers

Source: Hardcover provided for review


Synopsis: 
Counter the lies that keep you from abundant living. 
Satan is the master deceiver; his lies are endless. And the lies Christian women believe are at the root of most of their struggles.  
"Many women live under a cloud of personal guilt and condemnation," says Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth. "Many are in bondage to their past. Others are gripped by fear of rejection and a longing for approval. Still others are emotional prisoners." 
In this bestseller, Lies Women Believe, Nancy exposes those areas of deception most commonly believed by Christian women—lies about God, sin, priorities, marriage and family, emotions, and more. She then sheds light on how we can be delivered from bondage and set free to walk in God's grace, forgiveness, and abundant life. Nancy offers the most effective weapon to counter and overcome Satan's deceptions: God's truth!
My Rating: 
Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth is a new author for me. I've worked through some of her Bible study for this book, so I decided to get the book to really get the full benefits of the study. This book is phenomenal! It's comprised of 12 chapters, 3 sections and 9 lies. I personally love how this book is broken down. Section 1 includes an introductory chapter which is the foundation. Section 2 is titled lies women believe with 9 chapters focused on several different lies about God, themselves, sin, priorities, sexuality, marriage, children, emotions and circumstances. Each chapter (or lie) goes deep into the lies we tell ourselves concerning those topics. 

I love how much scripture is referenced in this book to counteract the lies we believe or have been told about ourselves. Nancy has done a phenomenal job at keeping this book realistic, authentic and relate-able all while keeping the Word of God central. I love how at the end of each chapter you get an overview in chart form of the lies we've been told or believed with the truths from the Bible. This is a biblically sound book that I think is perfect for both personal reading as well as in a book club setting. Now I see why the book is needed for the Bible study. Just simply phenomenal and I highly recommend it!

VOTW | Isaiah 41:10 - Ever Present Help

Good morning Gems (& Gents)! This past weekend has been insane in both a good and scary way. I experienced something frightening, but in that situation I felt a sense of peace and contentment that I'd never would have experienced before if my relationship with God wasn't where it is now. As I was thinking of a verse for this week, I came across this one from the book of Isaiah and I knew this was it: Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand. Such a small, yet powerful verse. This is a command and a promise from our Father whether we are in times of despair or in seasons of gladness. Though told this to the people of Israel, this verse is still true to His children today. Let's start off by breaking down some of the words in this verse shall we: Fear : the Hebrew word is  yare' meaning to cause to frighten ( affright ); to make or be afraid;

DOI Book Club - Fervent by Priscilla Shirer

Good morning Gems! Today, I'll be sharing with you all one of the exciting things I'll be starting in March and it's a book club! I polled on Facebook and Instagram and had you all vote and the winner was a no-brainer! This is the first Book Club that I’ll be hosting ever and I am so excited. Fervent by Priscilla Shirer won hands down! We’re jumping into the topic of prayer and I’m a big person on reading and learning all that I can about prayer. I don’t know about you all, but my prayer life has its ups and downs. Now for those of you who don’t know, Priscilla Shirer is the actress from the movie War Room ( which I HIGHLY recommend ). She wrote a book for woman based off of the movie. Here’s bit of what to expect from this phenomenal book: “You have an enemy . . . and he’s dead set on destroying all you hold dear and keeping you from experiencing abundant life in Christ. What’s more, his approach to disrupting your life and discrediting your faith isn’t gene
