by Tracie Peterson, Allison Bottke, Dianne O'Brian Releasing February 28, 2006 From Bethany House Publishers ISBN #0764200666 www.bethanyhouse.com Breaking Free from the Lies That Control Us In our fast-paced and complex society, women are constantly barraged with hundreds of messages. But which are true and which are false? Writing from their hearts, this trio of writers, led by bestselling fiction author Tracie Peterson, brings women face-to-face with the lies women believe. In a refreshingly transparent and vulnerable style, they address the emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual aspects of life common to women. After exposing lies such as "I can make up my own truth," "I must be thin to be happyfor the media tells me so," and "True love is like a romance novel," readers are nurtured in ways to eliminate the fallacies and rebuild their lives based on godly, grace-based truths revealed in Scripture. Included are frank discussions about health, aging, body image, divorce, trust, instant gratification, and the need for God. Discussion questions are included in each chapter for individual or group use.
