Voices of the True Woman Movement, Intro

As promised, I've begun reading the above book and will prayerfully write a bit about each chapter. Nancy Leigh Demoss begins by reminding us of the great challenge of the vast number of voices in the world vying for our attention. Which ones will we hear and heed? Much depends on that for those we listen to will determine the ultimate outcome of our lives. Conflicting voices began in the garden when the voice of the serpent questioned God's voice to Eve. Eve listened to the serpent, Adam listened to Eve, and sin entered the world. To reject the voice of God brings disastrous consequences. Nancy, through her ministry to women for more than thirty years, has witnessed firsthand the fall-out of listening to the wrong voices. She calls us to heed the voice of the Lord, which is powerful and full of majesty (Psalm 29:4). Years ago the Lord began to lay on her heart a burden for a new women's movement--a counter-cultural revolution, in which women would reject the seductive voices of this world and would instead incline their hearts to listen to Christ and follow His voice. Through Revive Our Hearts ministry, she has sought to faithfully proclaim the Word of God to women and to point them to Christ, to hear and to heed His voice amidst the confusion of the world's voices. True Woman 08 brought together over 6000 women to hear God's Word and to affirm His mission and purpose for their lives. This book is a collection of the messages that were presented there and represent the heart and voices of the True Woman movement. This is a movement based on the authority of the Word of God and involves women seeking fulfillment in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ, and not in their personal accomplishments. May we hear and heed His voice this day.
