Life tends to beat us up and chip away at our confidence. Disappointments, death, divorce, abuse, business failures and other life situations stop us in our tracks. So how do you restart and rebuild confidence to move on? Michelle Howe's book, "It is Finished" suggests a new challenge like a participating in a race. Why a race? Because the race has a beginning and an end just like life. When you add meaning to the journey and the finish line it can create an opportunity overcome past hurts and be transformed in the experience. Many times when we are stuck we don't finish what we have started. A race event like a 5k or half marathon gives you an opportunity to take on a challenge that creates new evidence or story of what is possible which in turn creates renewed confidence in your God-given potential. A race event also stimulates you reaching your dream - the beginning, the obstacles, the red zone and finally the finish line. Coupled with the story of Nehemiah from the Bible, Michelle takes you on a journey to rebuild the ruins to create a more confident and purposeful life. Between the chapters, enjoy real-life transformational stories of some of the women from Michelle's seminar event called Weekend of Wins. Learn more at www.weekendofwins.com. Perfect book for small groups in and outside the church. "We all have finish lines in our lives, goals and tasks left undone. Michelle has written a personal, challenging call-to-action that will help you not only start down the path to your dreams, but finish." --Jeff Goins, Author, The In-Between: Embracing the Tension Between Now and the Next Big ThingThis is a radical concept- that the pains, shame, and failures of our past are not meant to be buried, that they are to be overcome and used to help others who are struggling with the same issues. Stories of women who have run a race in order to put the past behind them are intertwined with a Bible study of the book of Nehemiah. We see that we are not meant to beat ourselves up over our past but to use that "golden hammer" to rebuild. --Donna Fitzpatrick, PHDKudos to Michelle for not only inspiring women to take a risk, challenge themselves and live life more fully, but for consistently modeling with authenticity that we CAN push past fear and doubt into true freedom. Running is the perfect vehicle for the journey: in its difficulty there is the opportunity to be miraculously transformed into someone you might have never dreamed you could be. --Laura Summerhill, MS Ed., LCSWMichelle has written my favorite kind of inspiring book -- a forceful call to change your life and rebuild the messy part into the message of your future. Michelle doesn't just write this message, she has lived it. It is Finished is for anyone who has ever wondered "How can I move beyond my past and conquer these thoughts that are holding me back?" -- Alene Snodgrass, author, Dirty Laundry Secrets and Graffiti: Scribbles from Different Sides of the Street
