  Nurture (verb): 1. To give tender care and protection. 2. To encourage to grow, develop, thrive, and be successful.
  This beautifully describes what God's daughters so desperately need. In this heartfelt work, Lisa explains how women of all ages must awaken and restore their capacity to give and receive nurture.
  The need for this indelible force is far more urgent than we know. Is it possible we are too busy surviving to assure that the vulnerable among us thrive? Are we too guarded, wounded, and afraid to open our lives to the nurture of others? What can be done to reestablish this language of the feminine heart? It is time women are healed and empowered.
  If you have never experienced nurture, this is your season. Lisa's stirring message shows you how to make these vital heart connections. We need each other's comfort and assurance as we define ourselves, find our voice, and begin to fulfill God's purpose on Earth.
  In Lisa's own words: 'There is such a resonance in my spirit . . . this is in fact our season to grow, develop, and thrive. Heaven is passionately and purposefully reconnecting with our wounded, war-torn earth and the people who inhabit her. In this season I believe the daughters of God will prove integral agents. Nurture is not expensive-it is expansive. The life of everyone enlarges when it is added. As this happens, we will cease to merely function-we will indeed flourish.

  Mentoring is an effective way for individuals to pass on the benefits of their life experiences and the wisdom garnered from living. While this practice is valuable to shaping and influencing the next generation, Lisa Bevere identifies some short-comings in this approach. She explains that mothering invests encouragement and unconditional love, while instilling biblical truth that impacts the most important areas of internal and external life. Mothers are often described as laying down their lives to bring forth life. Lisa says this kind of sacrifice is sorely needed today. Through her ministry to many thousands of young women each year, Lisa constantly sees how much they need the nurturing only older women can offer.This need has prompted Lisa to share stories like the one above in this impassioned new book and to illustrate the importance for Christian women to seek out opportunities to extend this greatly needed and rewarding ministry.
