Finding Your Voice: Engaging Confidently in All God Created You to Be

This book is an invitation to know yourself and enjoy the delight your Creator has in you. By *finding your voice* you will engage more confidently in the life that lies ahead of you. Whether you are just starting out or sensing a later change of direction, you will be inspired to explore your spiritual as well as your creation gifts and make your contribution around the table of leadership. The God who created you and redeemed you, purposefully gifted you that voice and invites you to uncover it and offer it to the world in service as well as in self-expression.  
  
From her lifetime of discovery, the author shares many stories of her own journey and tackles some of the obstacles that are more acute for women on the way to finding their voice. But because we all need people around us understanding and encouraging us, the hope is that men will read these pages too in the spirit of #HeForShe, and so offer women their whole-hearted support.  
  
  
*"I enjoyed a moment of rest this afternoon lying on my bed and reading your book. It was like a Holy Spirit calm fell over me in the midst of a busy few days and more responsibilities to come. The reflection time at the end of one of the chapters where Jesus is looking at me was special. I felt His tender brotherly hug."*

*"Kierkegaard affirmed that every human person is called by God to become the unique individual God created that person to be. In this book, Jennifer Turner gives a powerful and rich account of what this claim means, drawing from a winsome combination of biblical wisdom and deep life experience. The book will be an inspiration and encouragement both to men and women."*

*"Jennifer Turner's book has been immeasurably valuable in helping me negotiate 'what is next' as a woman who is at a crossroads. She speaks with authority and warmth from an array of life experiences. Her spiritual guidance is based in Scripture, informed by psychological research, and drawn from a wide reading in theology. In short, she is uniquely qualified to speak to women's issues in life and in the church today and does so convincingly and powerfully."*

*"I love books that are filled with wisdom-insightful gems that see me repeatedly reaching for my notepad. Finding Your Voice is one of those books. In it, Jennifer Turner draws from her rich life experiences, modeling how our stories can assist in identifying where God is at work. She pastors us through the book's pages and helps us to discover our voice. This is a significant gift to us all."*
