This book is about the beauty of fierceness, about women who use their strength to honor the Lord by honoring their husbands. "When you're told the hurdle is higher than you can jump, fierceness is what gets your blood going and takes you flying over the top. It's the passion that motivates you to leave the cozy comfort of safety for the dangerous adventure of the unknown. It's that element of determination that holds you in place when weak soldiers flee. It's loyalty and doing what's right; brilliant intensity and going the long haul. Fierceness is fervent faith and lonely stands; solitary boldness and trying one more time." Men are drawn to this kind of fierceness because it reflects godly character. The purpose of Wagner's book is to identify that fierceness, to celebrate it, and to direct it toward the best and highest ends. Used wrongly it can be so destructive, but used well it can be an incredible blessing. Fierce Women is the kind of book a feminist will hate because it affirms God-ordained differences between men and women and because it pushes women to live for the good of others, to esteem others higher than themselves. It affirms a woman's strength, but shows the biblical way to use that strength is to direct it in love toward others. It's a book I highly recommend. Review by Tim Challies, October 1, 2013, What others are saying . . . Kimberly Wagner has a life message that is both provocative and reassuring. As a long-time friend, I've seen her live her teaching and it's so refreshing to watch. Now other women will have the opportunity to learn from her and to be encouraged that strong women--grounded in the Word and trusting God--are beautiful to behold. This book is good for both the newly engaged and the long-time married woman. Buy it, read it, share it! -- Carolyn McCulley , author of Did I Kiss Marriage Goodbye? and Radical Womanhood Kimberly Wagner's life is a continual pursuit of all that is true, right, and holy. She not only strives for this in her own life, but lives a life of sacrifice and investment into the lives of others, such as myself, spurring us on in the faith, coming alongside, and speaking truth in love. This book portrays the beauty of strength under control...His control. ~ Melissa Hudnell , wife, mom, and follower of Jesus Christ If your marriage feels like a battlefield, you need this book! Kim presents the radical idea that fierceness is woven into God's design for womanhood, but softness is the application. She knows what it's like to wrestle with the urge to control, to crave power, and to rush toward battle. In a style that makes you feel like you're having coffee with a close friend, Kim shares her story while opening the Word to reveal God's truth. This book has the tools you need to equip you to move you and your husband from adversaries to allies. ~ Erin Davis, author of Beyond Bath Time: Embracing Motherhood as a Sacred Role , This book is about the beauty of fierceness, about women who use their strength to honor the Lord by honoring their husbands.
