Publisher's Description
How’s your life? Does it tell a wonderful story fi lled with grace, character, and courage? Or are you stuck in the past, struggling with regrets and fears? PERHAPS IT’S TIME FOR A NEW STORY. Same Life, New Story is a ten-week Bible study that offers women a powerful truth: one small change can have profound effects. With humor, vulnerability, and transparency, Jan Silvious—a professional life coach—uses a unique blend of modern-day anecdotes and biblical character stories to bring you out of the land of what is and victoriously into the land of what can be. Each chapter examines the life of a woman from the Bible, providing unique insights into scripture as well as questions for personal reflection and journal exercises. Learn how to overcome the past, conquer fear, say “I can,” face adversity, and harness resilience. See your story through the eyes of Naomi, Leah, Rahab, and Deborah. Discover—as Hannah, Abigail, and Elizabeth did—the irreplaceable role that God longs to play in your life. Learn, as Jan did firsthand, that changing your perspective can truly change your life. Within you lies a new story just begging to be told. What are you waiting for?

“With her customary skill, wisdom, humor, and practical way of dealing with life, Jan Silvious has given us Same Life, New Story. If you’ve ever thought, I’m sick o’ me . . . I don’t like who I am or what I’ve become, this is the book for you. Jan uses her own story to help you with yours, and she weaves ten women from the Bible into our stories, showing us how God changed their struggles and fears into blessings. I love Jan Silvious and have found everything she says helps me in some area of my journey. This book is a winner, Jan. Congratulations!”
“Jan Silvious is one of the wisest women I know—I think the only book I’ve underlined more than Same Life, New Story is my Bible!”
“One of the things I love most about Jan is her ability to help me understand my own life. With charming wit and insightful wisdom, she shines the light of God’s Word on what is true, good or bad, and shows us how to grow. In this study of the lives of ten women whose stories we may feel we know, Jan gives us a fresh look at their lives and helps us see our own.”
“When Jan Silvious speaks, I lean in and listen! With the voice of wisdom, common sense, and experience, Jan’s practical approach to applying God’s Word to life helps put the modern-day woman on the road toward maturity. In Same Life, New Story Jan reveals that our setbacks are really setups that launch us into becoming what God desires us to be.”
“There are only a couple of books that make my must list in any year. Jan’s books are always on that very short list because she combines ancient truths in relatable, honest-to-goodness girlfriend language that allows us all to access life-changing concepts. Complex truth in simple wrapping. If you’ve been wondering why your life isn’t as fulfilling as you had hoped or why it just isn’t working, I highly commend Same Life, New Story to you. Once you understand the power of your internal dialog, not only to frame your circumstance but to impact your choices and literally narrow or widen your options, you will see why this book is a soul necessity. Give yourself the gift of perspective. Jan Silvious’s writing can change yours.”
