Nice Girls Don't Change the World

Margaret Mead said: Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. My version of that quote is: Never doubt that a community of thoughtful, committed women, filled with the power and love of God, using gifts they have identified and developed, and pursuing passionsplanted in them by Godnever doubt that these women can change the world.Lynne HybelsNice Girls are taught early that serving God means earning Gods love and sacrificing oneself to meet the needs of others. Unfortunately, after living a life she thought was what God demanded, her husband wanted, her kids needed, and her church expected, Lynne Hybels felt utterly lostboth to herself and to God.In this wise and tender book, Hybels tells of her struggle to stop living someone elses life and to reclaim the unique gifts, strengths, and passions God gave her. And she reveals how turning away from her false view ofGod as a harsh and demanding taskmaster enabled her to rest at last in Gods sustaining love. As she explains, its never too late to discover that who you really are is exactly what delights God and what the world needs.
