Back to Joan and perfectionism. Through her books, coaching and speaking, she is helping other Christian women become the best –NOT perfect – version of who God made them to be.

Without the pee-in-your-pants pressure.

As Joan says, “You were not created to live in a continually overwhelmed state, swamped by the demands of family, kids, home, church, culture and career.”

Here’s Joan’s book trailer. These are the books she gives away on Tuesday.

To enter the giveaway, leave a comment on why you want a book. That simple. Way cool.

The afternoon of life is said to be ages 46 to 60.

The noon is 20 to 45. The morning: childhood through 19. You get the idea. I know you can figure out the ages for twilight and evening. 

A reluctant afternooner, I’m learning to accept my age.

Sharla Fritz, a special guest of my most recent BlogTalkRadio show – you can listen to the archived show at my website – confessed that she struggled with her chicks leaving the empty nest, fluctuations in hormones, readjustments in her marriage and being called “Grandma.” “Grandma” sounded old to her. (Now she loves it.)

What about you, beautiful warrior, are you at peace with your age and stage in life?

Satan will try to feed you lies and doubt your significance and value in Christ. He is the father of lies and he is vanquished.

Fight back, girl. Use your war cry, which is prayer.

Question: Are you OK with your age? Please leave a comment. One of you, if you leave a comment, will get a complimentary book by Christian fitness guru extraordinaire Chantel Hobbs.

P.S. Please listen to my radio show every Tuesday at 1 p.m. Central. If you cannot listen live, please download or listen to the archived show. Simply go to ChristianWomenAffiliate.com and find my show: The Sisterhood of Beautiful Warriors for March 2, 2010.

Sharla Fritz, the wife of a pastor, homeschooled her kids for fifteen years. The eldest one is married now and has a baby. Her son is in college.

In other words, Sharla has an empty nest.

What’s a 50-something woman to do?

A couple a years ago, as she peered into her future, Sharla didn’t like what she saw. Without the kids and without homeschooling, she felt a lack of significance. Her kids and homeschooling defined her days. Now with them gone, what was God’s purpose for her?

Amazingly, Sharla wrote and found a publisher for her book Divine Design, 40 Days of  Spiritual Makeover. It’s due out in June.

This is NO SMALL FEAT in our crazy economy!

Please join me on my BlogTalkRadio show “The Sisterhood of Beautiful Warriors” on Tuesday, March 2, at 1 p.m. Central, as I interview Sharla on all things empty nesters face, including:

menopause (and mustaches — say it isn’t so!)

caring for elderly parents

and, this is a biggie, readustments in marriage.

Feel  free to call in. The call-in number is 347-850-8893.

A little bit about me: I am a biblical counselor, speaker and writer. My three books written in the 1990s sold nearly 200,000 copies. Following in the steps of Sarai/Sarah of the Bible, I now write under Lucy Ann Moll. My previous secular books on eating healthy excluded my middle name. You can find my books on Amazon. I am now writing Beautiful Warrior, You Are Who God Says You Are. . .Even When Life Gets Ugly.

Have you wondered what a Beautiful Warrior looks like?

She looks like Shafia, who lives in Pakistan, a Christian among Muslim fundamentalists, a light in the darkness.

She looks like you.

Here’s is Shafia’s compelling story. Please watch.

Pray, pray and pray.

Tiffany Stuart, a blogger, speaker, mom, and a child of the one true God, argued with her Maker one day many years ago. Seeking healing, she asked him what name she should give her baby, whom she had aborted.

He said, “Grace.”

She said, “No. Give me an ugly name. What I did was ugly.”

He said, “Grace.”

So she accepted Grace.

In case you missed it, you can hear Tiffany’s hope-after-an-abortion-story. This week I interviewed Tiffany on my weekly BlogTalkRadio show named – surprise! – “The Sisterhood of Beautiful Warriors.”

Listen now.

Question: Do you think women in your church can openly talk about an abortion she or her daughter has had without fear of condemnation?

Special guest Tiffany Stuart joins me on at 1 p.m. Central on Tuesday, February 23, on “The Sisterhood of Beautiful Warriors” BlogTalkRadio show to share her moving story. Here it is in her words.

The call-in number is 347-850-8893. If want to listen only, click this url: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/cwa-radio.  You can also go to this link to listen to the archived show.

Like many teens, Tiffany fell in love and thought she would live happily ever after. Then came a series of poor choices:

sex before marriage,

 an unexpected pregnancy,

an abortion.

Her boyfriend didn’t want the baby. She didn’t know what to do.

Have you ever been at a crossroads and all directions looked wrong? We all have.

While shame and self-hatred infiltrated Tiffany’s life — unwelcome and constant invaders that led to more poor choices – Tiffany found FREEDOM. Freedom to embrace the Lord, freedom to dance and sing and play, freedom to know she will meet her unborn baby in heaven.

Join us for this miraculous story of triumph.

There IS life after an abortion.

During my show I will have a book giveaway. I’ll also have one on my blog The Sisterhood of Beautiful Warriors.

P.S. If you are living the secret of abortion, I’d like to help you. I am a trained biblical counselor who has a big heart for hurting Christian women.

Angela Breidenbach, a beautiful warrior just like you, shared her tears-to-treasure story on my “Sisterhood of Beautiful Warriors” radio show. You can listen to it now.

You’ll be impressed by her candor, her warmth, her story of turning a trashy childhood into treasure.

Angela wrote her book Battle Your Pirates — and Win! (not yet published) as one answer to her pain. For every “pirate,” she unearthed a corresponding gemstone and. . .

commissioned jewelry pieces.

Beautiful jewelry in more ways than one:

Fifty percent of the profits support orphans in Kenya.

The little pouches that hold the jewelry are made by Kenyan moms dying of AIDS.

Just for you, a sneak peak at Angela’s book intro.
