Book Review: Ready to Rise

Ready to Rise
Own Your Voice, Gather Your Community, Step into Your Influence

I am reviewing a copy of Ready to Rise through WaterBrook & Multnomah and Netgalley:



In this book Jo Saxton reminds the readers if there is every a time for us to find out voices and fulfill our potential the time is now.  She goes on to encourage the readers to think of their family trees, think of their storie bys and experiences and think of how the limits as well as opportunities shaped the lives of the women in their family tree.


The readers are reminded too that we need the voices and influence of healthy and empowered women who are taking their places to make an impact on the world for the common good.



Saxton goes on to remind us how Jesus used women, how their lives impacted the early Church.  The woman of Jesus time did not have the ability to look up to Christian women from the past, because they were the first.


The readers are reminded too that we do not have to carry life's burdens alone.  It is pointed out that our voices are more than mere words, our words are our God given identity and purpose in action.


We are reminded too that Your voice has real potential— for encouragement, for strengthening people in life’s trenches, and for tangible influence for good in the world.


If you are a woman looking for an empowering book to read during this time of Self Isolation, I recommend Ready to Rise!


Five out of five stars!


Happy Reading!
