WHO: Jen Oshman, who has served in women’s ministry for more than 20 years.

SHE SAYS: “The gospel starts with a good Creator who’s been pursuing us since even before we gave in to sin. If you and I are going to be well, we have to know him.”

THE BIG IDEA: This book was written to encourage women to reject the empty promises that false idols offer and instead embrace something more satisfying.

THE PROGRESSION: In 10 chapters, the author casts a vision for women to experience real hope and peace in Jesus.
