Big Girls Don't Whine: Getting on with the Great Life God Intends

No one wants to be labeled a whiner, but many of us go through life with a poor me, victim mentality that sounds a whole lot like whining. God never intended for us to act like little girls, says Jan Silvious. His goal is for each of us to live as big girls-mature Christian women-who are capable of enjoying the richness of life He has planned.

In Big Girls Don't Whine, Jan helps women:

• Move beyond the past and on to healthy relationships,
• Choose to be proactive rather than let life just happen,
• Discover their full potential,
• And become everything He made them to be.

So how can we tell if we're living life as an immature 'little girl or a confident big girl?

A little girl...

• Is insecure
• Becomes the victim of circumstances
• Says I can't
• Manipulates

A big girl...

• Is secure
• Rests in God's sovereignty
• Says, I can
• Communicates

In Big Girls Don't Whine, Jan Silvious calls us to be real women in a real world, free to experience a life of full of potential and vision. This book is the how-to manual for making it happen.
