Thousands of women in the U.S. and Canada have laughed, wept, and learned together at Time Out for Women events. Now you can share the spirit of those occasions with this Time Out Classics Bundle. These five inspirational quick-reads will lighten your load, rekindle your hope, and resonate with your spirit.
Finding Hope
When life's challenges seem overwhelming, where can you turn for help? Using powerful stories from the scriptures, S. Michael Wilcox teaches that hope can be found in looking beyond obstacles and moving forward with faith, in looking back at past experiences that may have prepared us for future challenges, and in looking for times when the Savior walks with us.
On those days when we may wonder if Heavenly Father has forgotten us, we have the assurance that each of His servants will receive "the light of the countenance of their lord, every man in his hour, and in his time, and in his season: (D&C 88:58). And although it may not be our hour now, He will come because He is aware of us, He knows our needs, and He will bless us.
Believe in What You're Doing, Believe in Who You Are
We all know our own strengths and weaknesses — at least to some extent. Often we notice a real strength in another person and wish we were more that way. Do you want to be more organized? Do you want to be a person who loves and accepts everyone? Do you want to have a home in which all who come there know they are welcome? In this newest book in the Time Out Classics series, bestselling singer/songwriter Hilary Weeks shares the love God has for us as we are now, as well as some practical ideas about how He can help us become who we want to be.
The Faith Experiment
What stands in the way of your being the person you want to be?
In The Faith Experiment, Laurel Christensen describes how she learned the answer to that question: She was standing in her own way. She had put limits on her life that our Father in Heaven had never meant for her to experience. We all do it. But there is a way out—and that way is to have faith.
"Consider the possibility that God sees the potential for your life in a way that you have not seen yet—or are afraid to see," writes Laurel. "He is ready for you to choose to become the person He has always known you to be." You'll resonate to her stirring invitation to choose faith over fear.
Tug of War
Before we were born, we had a choice to make—a choice between happiness and misery. "But the war continues. We're still tugged towards Zion on the one hand ... and Babylon on the other." In Tug of War, Time Out for Women presenter Mary Ellen Edmunds discusses the differences between Zion and Babylon and why we can't "camp out" somewhere between the two. Our choices, including the seemingly small ones we make every day, have consequences that can lead us toward Zion: a place for the pure in heart, or Babylon: the antithesis of Zion.
What Would A Holy Woman Do?
What woman would describe herself as "holy"? And yet, the Lord has commanded us to "practice holiness ... continually." What is the meaning of holiness? How can we become a little more holy day by day? Is that even possible? Or is holiness just a lofty, impossible goal?
In considering these questions, bestselling author Wendy Watson Nelson offered a three-day experiment to several friends. For three days each woman chose one of her normal daily activities and asked herself "How would a holy woman do this?" For example, how would a holy woman handle a conflict, or avoid a conflict? How would she manage a lengthy to-do list? What would she do in difficult situations? And then each woman followed through on the answer. Their experiences are both eye-opening and encouraging as we begin to understand how gifts of the Spirit can help us become the women that the Lord needs us to be. This powerful message will inspire listeners to take their own three-day challenge and discover what the Lord is willing to teach each of us about becoming more holy.
