So the headstrong beauty set out for London and the Tudor court, the arena for the richest, most ambitious men, none more powerful than the four men who would claim her.

Women of faith in pursuit of wisdom! Why was I led to write this book? As I sat down in my living room, doing my daily chores, the Holy Spirit nurtured me and directed me to listen to some CDs for women who spoke at the Wisdom Center in one of the conferences in our church. These women had been used by God mightily that weekend. Gods appointed time and season are perfect; redeem the time because the days are evil. As I listened keenly to every word spoken at that moment, God started teaching me how a woman can be impactful to those around her. A woman of faith has the wisdom and her confidences are in God. After meditating on and focusing on the Lord, the Lord stirred in me a spirit to start drafting a book on women of faith. Great ideas started to flow in my spirit, and one thing led to another. To write a book is not easy, but it requires passion. Thank you for taking the time to read this book. The Holy Spirit is no respecter of persons. Do not ever, ever underestimate what God can do in your life. This could be a new beginning of a new life for you. I pray that as you come across this precious book, you will never be the same again. Believe me, the Bible says let us keep our faith and confidence in him without wavering, for in due season, we shall reap. Because he who has began a good work in us will bring it to completion. His promises are ye and amen, your God will never leave you nor forsake you. Get that in your spirit. I love my fellow women of God who are soldiers of Christ, pressing on toward the plan of God in their lives. They are unshakable and unstoppable in pursuit of the wisdom. They are special in the eyes of God. They carry an anointing that no one else can give other than the creator, God Almighty. I am inspired by these women because their time is spent in Gods presence, wanting to know what God has in store for their future. Time will tell if we tire not lingering in his presence hour after hour. In addition to that, search and read Gods word, praying to see if they are in agreement with him. They are strong, courageous, and victors! And if I may ask, are you one of them? God has put something special in the heart of a woman! Thank you! Celebrate yourselves as a kingdom conqueror. Powerful, isnt it? Praise God.

God is still writing your story What happens when life doesn't turn out the way you always imagined? How do you stay hopeful when disappointments, unfulfilled longings, and frustrating detours come knocking on your door? Kristen Clark and Bethany Beal have asked these same questions themselves. In Not Part of the Plan, they open up their lives in the most raw and relatable way, sharing their own journeys through unexpected seasons of infertility, singleness, loss, and heartbreak. But in the midst of it all, they've learned that true hope doesn't come from getting the life you always dreamed of but from trusting God with the life He has for you and believing that His plans truly are good. Sister, wherever you are on your journey, your life has purpose and meaning in Christ, and thriving is possible--right now. "If life has thrown you a curveball and your future feels hard and scary, Not Part of the Plan is the book for you. You'll laugh. You'll cry. But most of all, you'll appreciate the advice of these wise friends as they teach you how to walk through pain and uncertainty and lead you toward a hope-filled tomorrow."--Mary A. Kassian, author of Girls Gone Wise in a World Gone Wild "Bethany and Kristen address the struggles we face when life takes unwanted detours and show us through Scripture and experience that our ultimate hope is found in Christ. Even in life's disappointments, we can be completely confident in God's greater plan that is for our good and for His glory."--Gretchen Saffles, author of The Well-Watered Woman, founder of Well-Watered Women

With a masterful ability to connect their social contexts to well-chosen and telling details of their personal lives, Claudia Roth Pierpont gives us portraits of twelve amazingly diverse and influential literary women of the twentieth century, women who remade themselves and the world through their art. Gertrude Stein, Mae West, Margaret Mitchell, Eudora Welty, Ayn Rand, Doris Lessing, Anais Nin, Zora Neale Hurston, Marina Tsvetaeva, Hannah Arendt and Mary Mccarthy, and Olive Schreiner: Pierpont is clear-eyed in her examination of each member of this varied group, connectng her subjects firmly to the issues of sexual freedom, race, and politics that bound them to their times, even as she exposes the roots of their uniqueness. "Pierpont['s] graceful essays are at once erudite and personal in their focus." ?The Boston Globe "One of the most ceaselessly interesting books I've read in some time." ?Lorrie Moore, The New York Review of Books
