"It is my deepest conviction that what God teaches us about himself in his Word is of utmost importance to my personal daily life," explains author Wendy Alsup in Practical Theology for Women. This conviction-of the practical nature and necessity of theology-saturates the pages of this slim but impactful volume designed especially for female readers.

Alsup provides hope and help to women by situating theology, or the study of God, right in the middle of daily life. How does knowing God make a difference when we experience financial problems, serious illnesses, and other difficult circumstances? Alsup makes the study of God accessible by setting aside the daunting vocabulary and complex sentence structure of academic volumes. Practical Theology for Women explores the truth that faith and a right understanding of God form the foundation for the wise daily choices that women desire to make, and it will help women to practice a practical theology.

Alsup writes: "Truly, there is nothing like a good grasp of accurate knowledge about God to enable you to meet the practical demands of your life-the practical demands of being a daughter, mother, wife, sister, or friend." So if you've ever thought theology was too deep, too impractical, or too irrelevant for your life as a woman, this book is for you. Let Practical Theology for Women show you the everyday difference that knowing God makes.
