Katie with Discipling Girls5 Stars Out Of 5One of My Top 5 Recommended Books for High School GirlsJuly 31, 2016Katie with Discipling GirlsQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5This review was written for Divine Design: True Woman 101--An Eight-Week Study in Biblical Womanhood.As a twenty-something with a heart for girls ministry - Im always on the hunt for something interesting, relevant and capable of deepening my girls' understanding of God and Scripture. Based on these criteria, I would highly recommend this study.
Pros:
-Clear explanation of the differences between manhood & womanhood (while not falling into stereotypes)
-Excellent parallels of how a marriage between a man and a woman reflects Christ and the church
-Addresses the common (yet often unspoken) feeling that God loves women less
-Good balance of addressing those who are married and also girls who are single. Since I disciple high school girls, this was really important for me.
Cons:
-The online sessions are mediocre. I taught tidbits that I liked in them, but never showed them in group. The content in the videos especially doesnt translate well to high school girls.
-There is a LOT of content & I was concerned my girls would get overwhelmed by information and absorb little. For this reason, I taught from outlines I created each week to highlight points I wanted them to remember.
The Bottom Line:
Divine Design ranks in the top five books I currently recommend for high school girls. It will challenge those who have grown up in church their whole lives and give them information to wrestle with so they can figure out what they believe Scripture teaches. It was very rewarding as a leader as my girls made comments like I never thought of that before!" -
Michele MorinWarren, MaineAge: 45-54Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5God's Divine DesignFebruary 27, 2016Michele MorinWarren, MaineAge: 45-54Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5This review was written for Divine Design: True Woman 101--An Eight-Week Study in Biblical Womanhood.
As Christian women, we desire to honor God by living countercultural lives that reflect the beauty of Christ and His gospel to our world . . .
These powerful words lifted from the True Woman Manifesto are a wake up call to women, an invitation to enter into a life based on truth, and to view womanhood as a glorious gift that puts the creativity and wisdom of God on display.
In True Woman 101: Divine Design, Mary Kassian and Nancy Leigh DeMoss (now Wolgemuth), share their own very unique stories of following God into ministry Mary as a wife and mother, Nancy as a single woman at the time of the books publication. Certainly, marital status is no barrier to active and meaningful ministry.
While many in the church waste valuable time quibbling over what women should do or may do, the word of God is clear in its teaching that, although marred by the fall, the role of a godly woman is to exhibit wholehearted devotion to Christ, to display purity of heart and a quiet spirit in her use of the unique ministry gifts that God has granted.
When Jesus referred to the Holy Spirit as the Helper, he forever exalted the role of those who come alongside to assist. This is a powerful message for women who want their homes to be launching pads for the next generation of world-changers, for women who are called to meet the needs of others outside their family circle, and for women of all ages and of all giftings who desire to be intentional and purposeful in living a countercultural life that puts others first.
The words of Elisabeth Elliot are a magnificent mission statement:
We are called to be women. The fact that I am a woman does not make me a different kind of Christian, but the fact that I am a Christian does make me a different kind of woman. For I have accepted Gods idea of me, and my whole life is an offering back to Him of all that I am and all that He wants me to be.
True Woman 101 is an eight-week study that serves as an invitation to throw away the cookie cutters and delight in the differences between men and women as well as the differences among women of diverse temperaments, at various stages in life, and with different callings. We live our lives before God to the end that Christ may be exalted and the glory and redeeming love of God may be displayed throughout the whole earth.

Lights in a Dark WorldGender: Female5 Stars Out Of 5Learn God's true design for women just like you!July 7, 2015Lights in a Dark WorldGender: FemaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5This review was written for Divine Design: True Woman 101--An Eight-Week Study in Biblical Womanhood.Womanhood is not what it once was, I think we all know that! God designed womanhood to be wonderful, but sin has marred what true womanhood is all about. Throughout history people have tried to change Gods design for us. Feminism has taken hold and warped our view of true womanhood. This 8-week study will teach you what Gods original design was, and what His plans for us were. This study will show you that Gods design is beautiful, and not something we should want to change.
I learned so much through this study. After each week's lessons, there is an accompanying video on the True Woman website where you can learn even more as the authors discuss the topics covered that week. I will say, although I read this study alone, it is designed to be more of a group study. I believe every woman should take this study and embrace Gods design of womanhood. Dont fall into the worlds philosophy of feminism. When you decide to strive to be the woman God designed you to be, you will be so much happier. So go grab your book today!

A friend and I are doing it together and it has been both challenging and encouraging. It is broken down into eight weeks and there are five lessons per week. Each lesson takes anywhere from 20 to 30 minutes. It really is a wonderful study. I would recommend this study to any woman.
