In You’re Loved No Matter What: Freeing Your Heart from the Need to Be Perfect (Revell, Mar.), bestselling author Holley Gerth (You’re Already Amazing: Embracing Who You Are, Becoming All God Created You to Be; Revell, 2012) offers a Christian take on how women can embrace their divine potential.
For women who want to have better friends and be a better friend, Abingdon has Heart Sisters: Be the Friend You Want to Have by Natalie Chambers Snapp (Apr.). Snapp addresses topics such as healthy boundaries, honesty, tact, sharing, and agape love.
