Donna Partow knows the hard road that must be traveled to escape a life enslaved by sin. She knows your struggles, your excuses, and the small ways that can encourage your soul. Most of all she knows the deep desire you have to experience freedom in Christ. Her newest ten-week devotional, Living in Absolute Freedom, can be viewed as a map to help you navigate around the dead ends and rough patches that have stopped you before. Her first two devotionals, Walking in Total God-Confidence and the now-classic Becoming a Vessel God Can Use (with sales of 115,000 copies), prove that Partow is blessed with insights in how to relate to God that you and other women need to hear about. Her newest book begins a new journey that can be shared in a group or experienced during your own devotional time. Living in Absolute Freedom looks at the difficult issue of Christians living enslaved lives despite the proclamation that "it is for freedom that Christ has set us free." Legalism, sin, status, others' opinions, materialism, and wrong priorities can all set a believer in bondage.
Whether spiritual, mental, or emotional, each is just as real and painful as any physical restraint, except the chains are fashioned from fear of failure, fear of success, or fear of rejection rather than links of iron. "Anything that holds you back from being and doing all that God has created you to be and to do" is Donna Partow's definition of slavery. With a personal transparency and vulnerability rarely seen, she articulates the types of bondage most typically found in women's lives today and then provides the necessary steps for regaining freedom and living in it. Glean God's special calling for you to live an emancipated life and embark on a journey away from captivity and into the delightful and expansive wonder of God's grace.
