Stand up for what is right, no matter the cost. In 1868, Justine Braden's grandmother charged her with the task of standing up for what was right-no matter the cost. As a child of ten. Justine didn't understand what Granny meant. Now, ten years later, Justine leads a frivolous life as a New York socialite. She doesn't have to deal with issues of right and wrong. Or sacrifice. Not yet. For unbeknownst to Justine, generations of the women of her family share a secret that is revealed to them when they are twenty. They can travel through time. Such a gift presents them with a great purpose, one that is far beyond their imagining. The gift is given, but it can be declined. Or ignored. Or embraced. If a woman is strong enough, brave enough, and noble enough, the gift will facilitate justice and change many lives for the better. Join Justine on her journey from a fickle girl into a woman of great purpose and potential.

Everyone benefits when women discover the joy of bonding...face it girls, we are good at this. We can connect with the woman in front of us at the market, or exchange child-rearing tips with someone we just met in an elevator. Men don't do this, and more amazingly, don't want to (they don't know what they're missing!) The truth is, God made us this way. God also gave us gifts that determine how we deal with friendship and life's problems, gifts that also help us become all we can be. The Sister Circle Handbook combines the discovery of our gifts and gives us direction regarding how to use them in our relationships. The Sister Circle Handbook celebrates the joy of sisterhood and is perfect for small group use. It showcases twelve life-issues (like Moods, Forgiveness, Gossip, Dealing with Difficult People, Disappointment, Forgiveness...) and offers biblical and sister-to-sister solutions. The material is not day, month, or year dated, nor is it seasonally defined, so it can be started at any time (we girls need flexibility!) And there's more: outreach ideas, party starters, and yummy recipes just to keep you going. The tone isn't preachy-teachy but conversational, and is fashioned with a heady mixture of female wit and fun interwoven with substance. In addition, the Sister Circle Handbook is a great companion to the first four Sister Circle novels by Nancy Moser and Vonette Bright. The goal is for every woman to deepen her faith, discover her God-given gifts, nourish sisterhood, and balance it all while living a life of joy, fulfilment, and purpose. Both new and seasoned believers will be enriched by the experience. So open up the Sister Circle Handbook and dive into the to-dos, how-tos, and good news about being a Sister in Christ!
