NURTURE

An excerpt taken from Lisa Bevere's book Nurture.

Nurture is an answer to people's needs for connection. I watch amazed as the voices of daughters are rising and linking together on TV, over the Internet, through books and every form of media. If we can all begin to speak the same language of nurture and strength, we will make the necessary connections. There is amazing power in speaking the same language. It makes the overwhelming and impossible...possible. (page 10)

I do not believe this a season when God is scattering people - I believe He is in the process of gathering. I believe Go has connections for the daughters and mothers on every level in the marketplace, in the media, in the home, and in the house of God. (page 11)


These two chapters are highlighted in my copy of this book.

I began a ladies group in my home last evening and I am very excited about it. The book we are studying is Nurture. The new dvd curriculum just came out and we have it. The teaching is annointed and powerful.

Our group would have benefited by merely getting together. We, as women, are relational by nature. However, our connection becomes more intimate when we join our minds and our hearts.

I have heard many great things about this book, have lots of fun with it! I am looking to lead some younger women in PTBO (just a few girlfriends frm Trent), if you have any suggestions for a good book series, let me know!

I've read the book but now watching the DVD series adds a new dimension to this topic. Lisa is so enjoyable to learn from... it feels like she is a personal friend just sharing from her heart.
Thanks for baking the muffins - yum!!
