Preface<br > wORDS ~ ~ . wORDS ~ ~ . WORDS<br > All around us~there are words being beamed at the<br > American woman.<br > Words from magazines~<br > Words from books~<br > Words from television~<br > Words from seminars for women~<br > all urging women to find their identity~learn to be<br > aggressive~learn to be assertive~all perhaps well meaning<br > but confusing. Instead of helping women to find identity， all<br > the words have persistently challenged everything female<br > and have contributed to a severe identity crisis among<br > American women.<br > It has been my experience in working with thousands of<br > women over the past thirty years that women have begun to<br >i question who they are~what is their real role? And they<br > ask themselves， "Is there a Creator God? What did He<br > intend for me to be?"<br > I believe we all need a word from God.<br > May these words of wisdom from God supply part of the<br > answer. MARY C. cRoWLEY<br > /<br >
