T.D. Jakes
The Lady, Her Lover, and Her Lord
Amazon.com
T.D. Jakes's insights and expressions are balm for every woman's soul.
As he explains so compassionately, we have lost sight of "the lady," and
it is a loss that continues to buffet women and misdirect men. Jakes eschews
condemnation and exposes the lies that have cloaked women in sorrow, helping
women to stand in the beauty, strength, and confidence God intended.
Bishop Jakes, church founder, pastor, and author of numerous books,
including the bestselling Woman, Thou Art Loosed!, structures this book
in three parts. In the first, he gently takes the hand of every woman who
has been ill-used, crippled in the innermost being, and shows her what
is truly beautiful about the feminine. In part two, he opens the door for
communication between husband and wife, lover and friend. Part three brings
alive the passion of the Lord for women, this most exquisite of His creations.
Much has been lost. Weep with Bishop Jakes over the pain to which women
have succumbed. But loss is not forever. In fact, any woman reading this
book will likely feel something emerge within her, something long forgotten
but something that rings of truth. --Ann Weinheimer
From Booklist
Jakes (best-selling author of Woman, Thou Art Loosed whose weekly television
program airs on Black Entertainment Television) claims to have knowledge
about women healing the wounds of previous disappointments in their lives
to rebuild themselves from the inside out and improve their relationships.
He examines what he calls a woman's three most important relationships:
with herself, with the man in her life, and with God. Accordingly, Jakes
divides the book into three sections, offering inspiration for women to
meet the demands of self-improvement, relationships with men, and spiritual
growth. He emphasizes the importance of self-love, of women moving beyond
the notion that what they can most contribute to others is slavish dedication
without consideration of their own needs. In relationships with men, Jakes
stresses the need for communication and mutual respect for the differences
between men and women and the differences rendered by individual personalities.
Regarding spirituality, Jakes cautions against attending to career and
family at the exclusion of spiritual development. The overriding theme
is that women should maintain a balance in their lives, not overemphasizing
one aspect to the detriment of others. Jakes, pastor, speaker, and author
of several inspirational books, has made a particular career of exploring
the spiritual and emotional needs of women. Vanessa Bush
Book Description
In his million-copy bestseller, Woman, Thou Art Loosed!, Bishop T.
D. Jakes showed women how to heal the wounds of the past and to forge forward
into their futures. Now, he has written his most urgent book yet, a progressive
next step and the book millions of women have been waiting for. In this
stirring call to healing and empowerment, Jakes shows us how society demands
girls and women to be perfect, to be sweet, to be sexy, to be submissive,
to be pristine, to be anything and everything but the one thing God wants
them to be--real. He argues that females are often subjected to verbal,
physical, and emotional abuse, which they then carry around in their minds
and their hearts, causing them to feel like they have no place to go and
no worth of their own. But Bishop Jakes has a message of Good News and
hope for these women. He tells them that God has a plan for each of them,
that each is holy in the arms of her Lord. His book delves deeply into
the three most important relationships in a woman's life: with
herself, with her man, and with God. Jakes gives clear direction that
enables and empowers women to be restored in all of their relationships
without any residual side effects from the past. He redirects the expectations
characteristic of failed relationships by discussing the many things women
often desire from their mate that can only be fulfilled by God. This book
is written for women who desire to reach their goals, maximize their God-given
potential, and still have someone with whom to share them. Accessible,
sensitive, practical, inspirational--the amazing T. D. Jakes has written
a book that women have been praying for, with a powerful
message of hope and transformation.
