ENUMCLAW, Wash., Nov. 14 /Christian Newswire/ -- Even with the image of the modern, liberated woman so prevalent in our society, women are cast into a rigid mold formed by the expectations of others--husbands, children, family, and friends. Although carefully conveying an image of fulfillment, most women have a secret longing for something more. They feel frustrated and don't fully understand why.

Cathee Poulsen and Fran Lankford deliver a biblical answer to this soul-binding dilemma millions of women deal with daily. They proclaim that life is meant to be astonishing, amazing, astounding – anything but predictable and boring. Finding the path to that kind of living requires some rethinking of the tired emotional blueprints women have conformed to for generations. These authors lead their readers on a pilgrimage of the heart to find the lost pieces of themselves. Following the guidelines of "Thresholds and Passages," a woman will never again be satisfied with the mundane.

Chapter 3 states:

Who of us is not afraid of pure space?" mused Anne Morrow Lindbergh, when, as a mother of six, she arranged to spend one whole month alone on an island at a beach house. She understood how secure we pretend to be in the cages we construct for ourselves. It feels safe in there, and we've learned to adapt to the measured space and keep things tightly managed. When the Emancipator comes and flings wide the door, we are more astonished than anything else and stand there stupefied, not realizing we can walk out of our self-made prisons. We feel instantly transported to the top of a plateau in Montana. So much wide open space. What to do with it all?

Both Cathee and Fran have ministered to women for more than thirty years. A graduate of CLASS Services, Cathee has articles in "Home Life," "A Cup of Comfort," and "God's Way for Mothers," and has written small-group and discipleship materials. Her goal is "not to reach the grave in a well-preserved body, but to skid in broadside thoroughly used up and loudly proclaiming 'Wow! What a ride!'"

Co-producer and host of her own television show "All About Kids!" Fran Lankford is a Hospice spokesperson, literacy volunteer, teacher's aide, and women's advocate. Her goal is to help women step out of the ordinary and allow God to step in with the extraordinary.
