Wonder Women of the Bible

Heroes of Yesterday Who Inspire Us Today

By: Brenda Poinsett

We all need inspiration and encouragement to be courageous-to face our battles victoriously and to exert more power in our lives. Draw strength from these wonder women of the Bible. "We shake our heads in genuine puzzlement at supercapable women who have much to teach us," says author Brenda Poinsett. From a brief Scripture backdrop, Brenda gleans personal truths from these heroes. Recall how God chose to involve women in His plans in daring, yet ordinary life moments. Be inspired that He will work in your life as you reflect on the discussion questions for each woman: Discover what encourages or discourages you as you face threats, with Rahab. Embody a bold, assertive, likable nature as you prepare for battle, with Deborah. Embrace your good works for what they are as you minister, with Dorcas. Escape what hinders your worship as you dwell in God's presence, with Anna. Grasp true wisdom and courage as you walk, with the Wise Woman of Abel. Book jacket.

He Did That?!

Jesus' Amazing Acts for Women

By: Brenda Poinsett

When was the last time you stopped to meditate on God’s power? Or when did you last stand in awe of just how radical Jesus was when He walked the earth? When was the last time you knew deep in your spirit you were living and moving as a woman of confident faith? In He Did That?!, take a front-row seat and, through Brenda Poinsett’s artful writing, step back in time to observe Jesus in His most powerful roles. Engage in deep reflection on this radical man’s actions—what they meant then and what they mean now—and find your faith and integrity strengthened. As you meditate on the deep significance of His actions, you will gain a new understanding of who Jesus is, renew your hope that the supernatural is possible in your own life, strengthen your integrity as you hear Him call you to rock the boat, and cry refreshing tears as His love washes over you. Prepare to be amazed by Christ’s incredible actions meant for you. See Him anew and get ready to exclaim, “Oh, my! You’ll never believe what Jesus did for me!”

The Friendship Factor

Why Women Need Other Women

By: Brenda Poinsett

Women need other women for more than just superficial friendship. There is a deep desire for both conversation and connection that resonates in the soul of women. But with so much impersonal communication over email and cell phones, many women find themselves lacking the nourishment, encouragement and rejuvenation that face-to-face unhurried conversations offer. In The Friendship Factor, Brenda Poinsett explores the needs women have to connect conversationally for life enrichment, stress reduction and cooperative efforts such as ministries and missions and puts them into bite-size nuggets that can be shared over lunch by friends.

Not My Will

Finding Peace with Things You Can't Change

By: Brenda Poinsett

As believers, we are often reluctant to admit there are things we cannot change. We wrestle and struggle to figure out how we can regain control, or we try to rationalize and understand why things happened. We pray. We expect God to change the situation. Yet, over time when nothing happens, we soon find that we have been robbed of our inner peace and joy. In Not My Will, author Brenda Poinsett shares the life-transforming lessons she learned from Jesus’ prayer life, practical lessons that have carried her and others through a range of unchangeable moments. Her unique perspective gives readers special encouragement as she answers the question, How do you pray about something you can’t change? In this book, regardless of your situation—job loss, personal limitations, terminal illness, or even the death of a loved one—you can learn how to come to terms with things that can’t be changed by looking at Jesus from His baptism to the Cross. Specifically, Brenda takes an in-depth look at the prayer of Jesus. Each chapter includes: • a significant quote that captures the essence of the chapter and sets the tone • a reflective exercise for application • a sample prayer

In Search of Power

African Americans in the Era of Decolonization, 1956-1974

By: Brenda Gayle Plummer

In Search of Power is a history of the era of civil rights, decolonization, and Black Power. In the critical period from 1956 to 1974, the emergence of newly independent states worldwide and the struggles of the civil rights movement in the United States exposed the limits of racial integration and political freedom. Dissidents, leaders, and elites alike were linked in a struggle for power in a world where the rules of the game had changed. Brenda Gayle Plummer traces the detailed connections between African Americans' involvement in international affairs and how they shaped American foreign policy, integrating African American history, the history of the African Diaspora, and the history of United States foreign relations. These topics, usually treated separately, not only offer a unified view of the period but also reassess controversies and events that punctuated this colorful era of upheaval and change.

What Sorrows Labour in My Parent's Breast?

A History of the Enslaved Black Family

By: Brenda E. Stevenson

The legacy of the slave family haunts the status of black Americans in modern U.S. society. Stereotypes that first entered the popular imagination in the form of plantation lore have continued to distort the African American social identity. In What Sorrows Labour in My Parents' Breast?, Brenda Stevenson provides a long overdue concise history to help the reader understand this vitally important African American institution as it evolved and survived under the extreme opposition that the institution of slavery imposed. The themes of this work center on the multifaceted reality of loss, recovery, resilience and resistance embedded in the desire of African/African descended people to experience family life despite their enslavement. These themes look back to the critical loss that Africans, both those taken and those who remained, endured, as the enslaved poet Phillis Wheatley honors in the line—“What sorrows labour in my parents’ breast?,” and look forward to the generations of slaves born through the Civil War era who struggled to realize their humanity in the recreation of family ties that tied them, through blood and emotion, to a reality beyond their legal bondage to masters and mistresses. Stevenson pays particular attention to the ways in which gender, generation, location, slave labor, the economic status of slaveholders and slave societies’ laws affected the black family in slavery.

Understanding a Woman's Depression

By: Brenda Poinsett

Even Christians get depressed, says Brenda Poinsett. And women have some particular obstacles to overcome in understanding and dealing with depression. Statistics show that women may be more prone to this problem than men: of forty million people who describe themselves as depressed, two-thirds are women. In this honest first-person account, Brenda Poinsett identifies with women's hurts, and shares her own experience of healing through God's help, others' understanding, and her own hard work. This is a sensitive, compassionate look at one of women's biggest enemies, what the Bible says about it, and how to live through it.

Not My Will But Thine

Coming to Terms with Things You Can't Change

By: Brenda Poinsett

How Christians can find comfort even in the most hopeless situations. Before His ministry began, Jesus knew that his purpose in life would lead to a painful death on the cross. Likewise, every Christian must face undesirable, unchangeable afflictions. The nature of God's will is often difficult to understand. Why must there be poverty? Disease? Divorce? Death? Fruitless searching for answers to these questions leads some Christians to lose all hope. By looking at Christ and his perfect example, Brenda Poinsett shows believers how they can find comfort in God's divine plan through strong faith and intense prayer.
