Synopsis

Having a talented designer come in and create a new look for a home or restaurant is a popular topic of TV reality shows. These renovation shows are a great illustration for the object of this study. The Lord is the ultimate Designer. And He has a divine design for womanhood. He wants to come in and do a radical renovation of your heart. He wants to change you from the inside out. If you let Him, He'll give you an extreme makeover . . . a brand new interior design.

In 201, we'll turn to the New Testament, to the book of Titus, to focus on some important elements of redeemed womanhood. Each week of this True Woman 201 study examines one of the ten 'design elements' of womanhood drawn from the Titus 2.  The weeks are each divided into five lessons leading to a group time of sharing and digging deeper into God's Word.

From the Back Cover

"Andy, you have a massive tumor that has broken through the wall of your colon. It’s cancer. It’s serious. Get in here now." That pronouncement was an emotional and spiritual change of address to the Valley of the Shadow of Death. Yet what Andy discovered in that Valley mirrors the experience of King David: that God’s presence was magnified—not diminished—by his journey there. And so, in the persona of a travel writer sending notes back from the desert, this Stage IV cancer survivor tackles gut level questions like:

"Why did I get cancer?"

"Does God still love me?"

"Can I tell Him how I really feel?"

"Is it possible to suffer well?"

"Can any good come of this?"

Written with humor and sensitivity, Notes from the Valley is for anyone on this journey or traveling alongside a loved one who is craving words of wisdom, comfort, and purpose.
