In this six-week in-depth Bible study, Kimberly Dunnam Reisman helps women to find balance at every age and stage of life. Confronting the daily chaos of competing demands from a new perspective, she asks not "How do I juggle my responsibilities?" but "How do I make choices that reflect my relationship with Christ and his direction for my life?" Using chapter three of the Apostle Paul's letter to the Ephesians as a biblical foundation, the study identifies barriers to balanced living and explores what the Bible teaches about Christ-centered living. Women will discover how being centered in the Savior can help us contemplate, sort, and prioritize our callings. Through it all, we come to experience Christ as Rock, Solace, and Guide and find him the calm center from which we can wisely navigate the responsibilities of our lives. The Participant Book guides women in a biblical study of Christ-centered living, using Ephesians 3 as a foundational framework. Five devotional readings are provided for each week. The interactive format includes space for responding to questions and recording personal reflections. Other components for the Bible study, available separately, include a Participant Workbook, Leader Guide, DVD with six 21-26 minute sessions featuring closed captioning, and boxed Leader Kit.
I could definitely relate to Kimberly, the author of this book. Women are faced with so many choices, and guilt or remorse regardless of which way they turn. (Why is it that dads can have careers and families without a second thought, but moms cannot?) This book reminds us to put our relationship with Christ first, not our kids, husbands, careers, or anything else. If we put Christ first, then everything else will fall into place.
Finding Balance

The Christ-Centered Woman : Finding Balance in a World of Extremes is a great book to help women achieve spiritual centeredness. It is a wake up call to women who are wearing various hats, but are neglecting the one role that is important--fellowship with God. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was a comfort for me during a very stressful time. If you are a woman being pulled in every direction, trying to please everyone, you should buy this book. It will help you reflect on what is truly important, without neglecting who you really are.

This book gets right to the point, that being a christian woman is a choice we make and a struggle every day. It points out that the world around us does not flow with christian values. This book teaches women how to keep the spirit of God alive in everyday living. A good read.
