Publisher's Description
Recently updated with an expanded study guide, Strong Women, Soft Hearts has quickly become an important study for women of all ages. Through inspiring real-life testimonies, Paula Rinehart writes as both a kindred spirit and a compassionate counselor to women feeling robbed of their passions and trapped by life's disappointing realities. Women who long to be released from the burden of hard choices and perpetually empty souls will be empowered to rediscover dreams long lost and refocus energy misguided. Strong Women, Soft Hearts cries out for women to embrace passion and approach life as something to be lived, not merely survived.

“Paula Rinehart has written The Sacred Romance for women, a message that should be shouted from the housetops. The secret of a joyful, victorious life lies not in ten steps, but in allowing our hearts to be drenched and softened with the love of Jesus. It is only then that we can become the strong women He longs for us to be. I don’t recommend many books on my website, but Strong Women, Soft Hearts made the list.”
“This past fall I had the pleasure of taking 100 women on a journey through Strong Women, Soft Hearts. . . . What an effective tool I found it to be as we explored the ways our hearts become separated from our heads on our journey through life. The study of this book has had a great impact on our women. It is a highly readable, well-integrated, user-friendly approach to key issues in every woman’s life.”
“Strong Women, Soft Hearts is a wonderful resource for women to journey inside and survey the landscape of a woman’s heart. We have used this book with women and couples to give both the man and woman tremendous insight into the nature of a woman’s heart. For women, it gives validation and confirmation that how God made them is a good thing! Though not written for men, this book offers men a wide and clear window to look through to see and discover the truth that a woman is wonderfully and fearfully made.”
“We used Strong Women, Soft Hearts with senior women here at Vanderbilt. I wish I could describe how much God has used this book in their lives. They are realizing how they allowed their deepest desires to be imprisoned by their fears. Each woman has made significant steps in recognizing their fears and allowing the Lord to transform them into women of freedom. Your message is melting away the callouses we’ve placed around our hearts and awakening us to the abundant life we have in Christ.”
“When I first read Strong Women, Soft Hearts, I felt like Paula Rinehart had known and documented the work God had been doing in my life. God had been bringing my heart into greater freedom as I took steps in trusting Him, vulnerability, and removing masks. As I reread the book, I’m not only reminded of the love and freedom God has for me but I am challenged afresh to stop exchanging and stifling God-given passion and vitality for busyness and efficiency. I recommend this to women of any age or spiritual maturity.”
“For those of us longing to press on toward deeper levels of spiritual maturity without losing our childlike hearts, this wise, mentoring book-friend will lead you toward wholeness and balance. I give Strong Women, Soft Hearts my personal vote for best new book of the year!”
