Our Savior, Our Sisters, Ourselves: Biblical Teachings & Reflections on Women's Relationships
(Journey of Faith, Inc.), Rev. Dr. Jo Ann Browning details through 13 reflective Biblical teachings how women can live victoriously, fulfill their purpose in life, and celebrate the fact that they were created in the very image of God. Each chapter includes a series of Reflections in Action and a Reflective Prayer to help you to begin living the life that God ordained for you to live.
After ministering to women for nearly 25 years, Rev. Dr. Jo Ann Browning possesses a unique understanding and compassion for the needs of women. Through this book, you will experience this prophetic wisdom and knowledge in powerful and life-changing ways.
The book, written as if it were being delivered from the pulpit, speaks to the heart of women about their relationships with God, themselves and each another. It offers practical solutions from a Biblical perspective for healing in all areas of an individual's life--from emotional baggage and childhood trauma to failed relationships and self-esteem issues.
Rev. Dr. Browning's prayer is "that we all embrace the fact that God is 'OUR SAVIOR', that we are connected to 'OUR SISTERS' and we must love and celebrate 'OURSELVES'." As a result of reading the book "your relationship with God will grow stronger, and your relationships with others will be closer, and that you will begin to see yourself as the woman who God ordained you to be," says Browning.
