Riassunto

A passionate call for Christian women to effectively "wield the sword" of their God-given feminine strength against any evil that threatens them and those they love.

What if you discovered you have been entrusted with an invisible, invincible, and incorruptible weapon? Would you use it?

In a day of worldwide trafficking, gendercide, discrimination, and other hostility against women, Lisa Bevere points to a biblical foundation to present a model of feminine strength that will empower women to live confidently. Drawing on the many references to swords throughout Scripture, the author constructs a revealing and compelling female paradigm that will impact every area of a woman's self identity, spiritual awareness, relationships, and life vision and mission. Long known for her passionate and articulate expression of biblical womanhood, Bevere presents fresh imagery--as enticing and strong as polished steel--to prepare women boldly for the challenges they face in today's world. It's not enough to just be wise and strong: Now a woman must know how to wield her sword. 

Creatively forging the imagery of swords, the Word of God, and the Cross, Girls with Swords will teach you:
· How to speak the language of heaven on earth
· What it means to intercede
· What it means to carry your cross
· What it means to be discerning
· How to disarm the enemy
· Why women are the enemy’s target—and why God needs them to be heroes
 
It’s time to take up your sword and be a hero.
