Una mujer del reino le da al diablo tanta razón para temer como un hombre del reino. Ella vive con la seguridad de saber que Cristo murió y resucitó por ella para poder experimentar la importancia del destino al cual ha sido llamada.En Una mujer del reino, Tony Evans y su hija Chrystal Evans Hurst le recuerdan a las mujeres su llamado de Dios a ser libres, sanadas y a tener esperanza. Los autores dan conceptos que alientan a las mujeres a cambiar ideas distorsionadas y a comprender quiénes son realmente en Cristo, sin aceptar menos cuando están conectadas con Aquel que les da esperanza. Todos los creyentes están cubiertos por el pacto de Dios con Abraham. Evans y Hurst quieren que las mujeres conozcan esos derechos, los reclamen con confianza y vivan por ellos. El nuevo pacto ofrece más que una vida de mediocridad.¡Una mujer del reino es llamada y recibe poder para vivir una vida victoriosa por medio de Cristo!A kingdom woman gives the devil as much reason to fear as a kingdom man. She lives confidently in the knowledge that Christ died and rose for her so that she can experience the significance of the destiny to which she has been called.In Kingdom Woman, Tony Evans and his daughter Chrystal Evans Hurst remind women of their calling from God to be free, delivered, healed, and hopeful. The authors bring insight that encourages women to correct distorted perceptions and understand who they really are in Christ—never settling for less when connected with the One who gives them hope. All believers are covered by God’s covenant with Abraham. Evans and Hurst want women to know these rights and confidently claim and live by them. The new covenant offers more than a life of mediocrity.A kingdom woman is called and empowered to live a life of victory through Christ!

Become the Kingdom Woman God Is Calling You to Be

Women, lean in: You grace this world with insight, sensitivity, wisdom, and spiritual beauty that has made you a force behind great accomplishments. Much of what comes in the life of a kingdom woman may not make headlines, but when you become passionate about what God is passionate about, positive change can occur in lives, families, communities, and even our nation. Your solution to the burdens of this life is found in humbling yourself before Jesus Christ and surrendering to the Word of God.

Together with his daughter, Crystal Evans Hurst, Dr. Tony Evans shows you what it means to live as a biblical woman and embrace your femininity, to walk by faith (not just talk about it), to make decisions in alignment with God, to raise up the next generation, and to discover that tremendous freedom comes when your ultimate submission is under a caring and loving God.

How do you do this? Kingdom Woman serves as a practical and empowering path to help you along the journey of life as you learn to:

Let go of hopelessness and disappointment to fully experience your destinyValue what God values―humility, meekness, and the beauty of a servant’s heartConfidently follow God on the pathway of faith, even if you can’t see the destinationChoose to have faith to believe that the dark road you are traveling on will eventually yield to a sunrisePursue God and His Word in a way that your actions follow His instructionsExercise authority through prayer for heavenly intervention in your earthly affairs

God is writing your story. Live like the Christian woman He designed you to be.
