    About this ebook

    Women were created for intimacy with God. But so many things get in the way! Past abuse. Regret. Shame. Feelings of unworthiness. How can worship hold any real meaning? Using the model of Mary of Bethany, who anointed Jesus' feet with costly perfume, readers discover how the act of worship itself is transformation. Worship can be a place of truth and transparency! Through stories of gifted women who have overcome tremendous pain and obstacles to become worship leaders today, they show the deepness and wideness of God's love for women everywhere. They also explore the lives of biblical women who worshiped despite oppressive circumstances, and found strength and confidence to continue to focus on God. Readers will find courage to overcome the past and the desire to worship God extravagantly and wholeheartedly.

      ONE OF THE HARDEST COMMANDMENTS of Jesus, for me, is the order to forgive. Anything. Anyone. Seventy times seven. But how do we do this when whatever wrong we’ve suffered is raw—and our feelings still fresh? Worse yet, probably, when the other person

      It seems that worship has become, like so many other things, a little refined by rules and traditions. The true act of worship seems to be lost to so many.In this book Amie Dockery and Mary Alessi help women discover the true meaning of worship: intimacy with God. This most sacred relationship is forsaken due to shame, regret, past abuse, feeling unworthy. We have built up walls and made a list of reasons we do not deserve fellowship with the Lord. Yet His deepest desire is just that - a close fellowship with us - a transparent, intimate relationship.When you begin looking at the truth of worship you will be invited into a new relationship with Christ and discover the courage to face all the things that have kept you out of the courts of worship and praise - out of the very presence of God. Here in His presence you will experience a love like no other and healing.I enjoyed the stories of women who had experienced just this. Not a a how to but of things you must do, but rather a testimonial of how great God's love is and what a difference He makes. I challenge you to take another look at worship - find healing, peace, love, completeness and your identity in the one who created you. Release His power into your life!Thank you Gospel Light for this review copy.
