The Uncommon Woman making an ordinary life extraordinary

Its hard to put into words how changed I was by Susie Larsons' book. I was challenged and immediately motivated in my walk with the Lord. She draws wonderful pictures to illustrate truths that I have read in my own Bible reading, but never quite grasped them the way that she did, provoking me to new depths with my Savior. She also hits the nail on the head about women and their relationships with other women. After reading this book I was able to walk in love and total forgiveness with a difficult relationship in my own life. Thank you Susie Larson! Buy this book - you will not be disappointed.

An Uncommon Book

Susie's book is gently honest. She pushes women to rise above "ordinariness" and to make uncommon choices. Her chapter titled "choose prayer over pettiness" was particularly insightful and meaningful to me. It has changed the way I relate to women, but even more than that, it's changed my heart towards them. I'm glad I've read this book and highly recommend it!

Not mere information, but transformation!!

Susie has a way of giving us much more than information in her books. She gives us what we need for transformation. You come away from reading this book knowing you can be different, not just that you should. Her willingness to share her struggles, makes it easy for us to look at ours and do anything needed to change. Somehow she makes us believe that Christlike behavior is doable for us! She convinces us that pursuing more of Jesus is not just what I should do but way worth it! This quote from the book is such a good example of this. "Uncommon woman, when you keep Jesus on the throne of your life every-single-day, and when you determine to be done with attitudes and activities that are beneath you, you will be positioned to march into your next place of promise." My next place of promise? I am on my way! Thanks for your help Susie!
