Bishop Eddie Long Releases New Book for Women
The Elect Lady is a message that transcends time to touch women in the twenty-first century just as it touched women in the first century. Written to all women, this book reveals that, no matter what your circumstances, God has placed you on earth “for such a time as this”.
New Kensington, PA, November 10, 2007 --(PR.com)-- Today, in the twenty-first century, the women of God are daily facing life-altering decisions, such as unexpected pregnancies, single-parent homes, broken dreams, and closed doors. In his new book, The Elect Lady: Life’s Obstacles Become God’s Opportunities (January 2008), Bishop Eddie Long shares the story of how his own mother made the hardest decision of her life in order to ensure the success of him and his brothers. Through exploring stories of remarkable women in the Bible, he shows the fruits reaped by sacrifice and the blessings that come from embracing a higher calling.
Mary, the most unlikely of subjects was highly favored and chosen by God to bring the greatest gift into the world. But at the same time, the doubt, suspicion, and ridicule of those around her was an unbearable burden to take on. Ruth forsook her hometown to follow Naomi and in return was blessed with Boaz. Esther faced the likelihood of death in order to save her people.
For the readers of this book who define their lives by “meaningless motions” and pointless pastimes, they will see that God has a purpose in every appointment. God has elected you for significance. Each obstacle is an opportunity to do mighty things for the kingdom of God.
The book also includes a chapter written by Bishop Eddie Long’s wife, Vanessa. It is a personal letter to readers in which she discusses the disappointments, unwanted responsibilities, and concerns she faced while coming to terms with being the wife of an internationally known minister.
The search for significance has long been the aim of every woman. In this book, women who are shaken by life’s unexpected turns will learn to see the hand of God turn obstacles into divine opportunities.
The Elect Lady will be released through Whitaker House in January 2008.
Eddie Long pastors New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Lithonia, Georgia, a ministry with over 25,000 members.
