The authors explore the idea that every woman has a unique and profound essence, shaped by her relationship with God, and that understanding this essence is crucial to living a fulfilling and meaningful life.

The book discusses various themes, including the influence of childhood experiences, the impact of societal expectations, and the importance of personal relationships, particularly in the context of a woman’s spiritual journey. The authors emphasize the idea that women are created with purpose and beauty, and they encourage readers to embrace their true selves, free from insecurity and doubt, by drawing closer to their faith and spirituality.

From my viewpoint, this prompt worked:)

Although the theme of “beauty” is highlighted multi-times, I would like to pick up another one; “vulnerability”.

Because I think this theme is important at workplace.

Key message

I want to encourage you to be a woman who is full of soft vulnerability. This is my key message.

Reason to be vulnerable

This world encourages us not to be vulnerable.

In fact, controlling women tend to receive lots of rewards; management role, corporate promotion, and compliments from colleagues.

However, God made women to offer a tender vulnerability. This is the way God designed women because they cannot be vulnerable if they are not deeply “rooted in Christ”.

In fact, offering a tender vulnerability can only be done by an incredibly strong woman, a woman rooted in Christ Jesus who knows whose she is and therefore knows who she is.
Captivating, p.139

So let’s be vulnerable wisely:)
