INSIDE FLAP of Book:
Today's woman isn't a radical feminist, nor is she an ultraconservative. She is more often a wife and mom who is--or has bee--married. She struggles to baolance home and family, fitness and faith. Too often she bears the scars from sexual abuse, alcoholism, or drug addiction. She faces choices her mother never faced and is aware that her children face even toughter choices. But she looks at--and lives--life as an adventure....
"For far too long the Christian Woman has been misconceived as a:
dangerous, doormat, dowdy dressing, phobic, anti-everthything, closed-minded, legalistic, serious, poor, isolated woman."
If you are searching for a new identity as a woman in the nineties that includes balancing your faith, family, and fitness, then consider becoming a wild, wonderful woman for God.

If you haven't already, please read this book. You might deny that the message from the author applies to you. But, at some level, it applies to everyone. Internalizing & using what Warner teaches, you start thinking differently, you start seeing yourself and others differently, and you start analyzing emotional exchanges in hopes of finding the truth in them... that is IF you care to make your relationships better.
