A clear and grounded call for women to stand firm in their faith, even when the world around us spins out of control. Women are tough. Women are strong. But to read the national headlines today or to skim through titles available in your local Christian bookstore, you wouldn't know it. Culture has lied to women about their role and what it means to be female, while the Church has weakened women, feeding them feel-good messages instead of teaching them to study scripture for themselves and stand steady when cultural storms brew. It's no wonder we find ourselves feeling disempowered, misunderstood, and frustrated. Women are deeply confused about the way a godly woman is called to walk through the world.
In Stand Steady, Cissie Graham Lynch tackles what it means to be a modern woman of strength, power, and wisdom, guided and fortified by the timeless truths found in God's word. She lays out the ten core attributes that build us into the strong, wise women God intends, drawing from stories in history and Scripture about powerful women who stood steady in their convictions, no matter the storm. Women were central to the tumultuous events of Jesus's ministry, and they have always been the backbone of the church. Today, we must reclaim that heritage, our place of strength and courage in God's story. Cissie does this by also reminding women who they are in Christ, challenging them to choose and commit to the habits and disciplines that are critical in the battle for our faith and our culture that lies ahead.
Stand Steady equips the reader to ditch this version of a watered-down womanhood and to embrace the powerful, strong, clear, and capable vision God has for us.
