Publisher's Synopsis
"Once I realized I was part of the problem . . .
it's amazing what happened."
"I have attended for over fifty years and I am still an outsider."
"I have a relationship with Christ but I cannot
stand the relationships in church anymore.
They have become so fake."
"I love going to church and I love the ladies!"
"In the end pride got in the way, one woman started a
rumor, gossip spread and we left the church."
Nothing is more painful than walking in a tight pair of stilettos--except
perhaps being wounded by other women. Does our Church journey have to
hurt and cause damage? No!
Let's put on some fun and fabulous footwear to walk a mile in each other's
shoes. We'll meet Stella Stiletto, Fiona Flip-Flop, Nancy Newbie and others
while we explore nine different points of view on a typical Sunday morning. As
the day unfolds, poor communication, misconceptions and secrets result in
unintentional pain being inflicted on themselves and each other. Will truths be
revealed? Will they ever get it right? Will they learn how to walk without
stumbling and tripping?
Interwoven in the stories are quotes from dozens of women around the world
who are experiencing similar struggles. But Soles Defining Souls isn't just about
other women's footwear. It's about what's on our own feet too. We'll finish our
journey at The Cobbler's bench for some much needed cleaning and repairs, and
walk away together, beautifully restored.
