"Think twice" encouragements for women to help them make smart choices in life.
No one wants to be labeled a whiner, but many of us go through life with a "poor me," victim mentality that sounds a whole lot like whining. God never intended for us to act like "little girls," says Jan Silvious. His goal is for each of us to live as "big girls"-mature Christian women-who are capable of enjoying the richness of life He has planned.
In Big Girls Don't Whine, Jan helps women:
Move beyond the past and on to healthy relationships,
Choose to be proactive rather than let life just "happen,"
Discover their full potential,
And become...

Though this grid can be a helpful tool, far too often it is a weight around the neck. So what can be done about it?

In Look at It This Way, author and speaker Jan Silvious explores, in-depth, vital truths that can help Christians reframe the way they think: breaking them out of their self-pity,...

You've tried everything-from confrontation to passivity. You've found out what doesn't work; now discover what does. Gain the tools you need to get along with...

No Worries: Learning to Trust Our Sovereign God Are you a worrier? Are you preoccupied with the "What ifs" and worst-case scenarios? Unrelenting doubts and fears can be paralyzing Worry can interfere with your daily life and ruin your relationships. We may dignify worry by calling it by some other name-concern, burden, a cross to bear - but Jesus calls it sinful. God feeds the birds and clothes the lilies and He will clothe and feed us. However it is our "little faith" that hinders Him from working in our lives. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus tells His followers - then and...
