The Upward Call

Challenges for Today's Christian Woman

Jesus' direct and uncomplicated call to his disciples is "Come follow me." Yet we realize that this challenge is the highest calling any one of us could attain-to live, think and move in this world as Jesus himself exemplified. It is a lifetime, daily commitment.

This book is about following Jesus and the eighteen lessons in it were written by women who have exhibited victory and wisdom in the areas discussed. Hopefully, the reader will be able to personally identify with the goals, and the struggle to attain these goals, that the authors relate. Most importantly, it is our prayer that practical, solution-oriented ideas will be set into the heart of the reader, and these plans will result in specific actions that will help in the transformation of character to become more like our Lord.

Philippians 3:13b-14 reads: "One thing I do, forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus."

That is our prayer for each one who reads God's word and this book. May God bless you richly.
