The thing I love best about Kingdom Woman is the "two voices" of both Chrystal Evans Hurst, and her father, Dr. Tony Evans. Each chapter is filled with encouragement and Biblical examples of what it is to be a Kingdom Woman - one who aligns herself under God's authority in every area of her life. Let's be honest: sometimes reading another book on what our lives *should* look like can create a sense of disappointment or lack in our own lives. I picked up Kingdom Woman thinking it would be one of those books. Instead, I found Chrystal's realness and honesty about her journey to be so refreshing that it made the whole thing come alive and really speak to me. Dr. Tony's teaching is fantastic - I can't say enough about his ability to illuminate the word of God, and the corresponding "Chrystal's Chronicles" in each chapter colored in the lines and made it real. Possible. I felt empowered.

I found myself considering possibilities and dreams I hadn't thought about before, and I think it's because I hadn't had the perspective of being aligned with God's purposes in many of the ways outlined in the book. You will want to grab a highlighter and a pen for taking notes in the margins as you read. I would like to go through Kingdom Woman with a study group, because there is so much to discuss and learn....great book!

I have found the book to be exactly as Dr. Evan's & Chrystal Evans Hurst set out for it to be. They wrote the book to "challenge women to look higher than where you are to whose you are, and to be transformed by the truth of being a Kingdom Woman." The book encourages women to set their eyes on Christ and to pursue what God has created them to be. It is true to that goal, encouraging, insightful and inspiring.

The Kingdom Woman is a phenomenal book! It challenges women from all walks of life to be the woman God intended them to be. What I love about the book is that Dr. Tony Evans brings the biblical component teaching women how to understand God's plan for our life while Crystal Evans Hurst brings you the real life application and experience as a former do-it-all-aholic (as she so eloquently describes herself in the book), wife, mother, sister, godly woman, etc striving to be a Kingdom Woman to everyone and everything simultaneously (all of which I can relate).

This book...Kingdom Woman reminds of us our worth, our purpose in God's kingdom, and that no matter where we are in our present situation in life, we are women of value, hope, and excellence full of faith, possibility, and purpose. Reading this book has helped to redefine how I view myself as a wife, mother, coworker, friend, and Christian woman. As a Kingdom Woman I realize that I don't have to be afraid of needing or wanting help, and as long as I reverence God, apply his principles to my life whether in the valley or on the mountaintop that it doesn't negate my purpose, calling, and responsibility as a Kingdom Woman.
