Practical Theology for Women by Wendy Alsup

Practical Theology for Women
How Knowing God Makes a Difference in our Daily Lives

Wendy Alsup refuses to be dampened by stuffy misconceptions of “theology” as she joyfully shares her love for it. She truly applies understanding God to everyday life through-out this book. The preface is an intimate window into her life which is a powerful testament of God, and the rest of the book is filled with scripture, theological knowledge, personal experiences, and convicting application. Wendy lovingly reprimands, “we have no excuse to remain ignorant of his character” and I doubt any Christian could read this book and remain convinced otherwise. Wendy lays a foundation of a Biblical picture of God our loving Father, Savior, Example, Bridegroom, and Help. She concludes with an applicable section on communicating with God through prayer and God’s Word. The whole book is as easy to read as talking to your best friend over coffee, but it teaches you and touches your heart through Wendy’s vulnerability and wisdom as she shares her thirst for God. This book expresses a passion for a depth and understanding of God that most women's ministry is sadly lacking.
