From Ordinary Woman to Spiritual Leader: Grow your Influence

by Kay Daigle

One thing that I have discovered is that every woman leads someone. Perhaps you influence a friend, child, co-worker or neighbor. You may also lead a group, large or small. Because this book is designed to help you seek God more deeply and better understand your calling, you will be challenged spiritually through its principles. It will help you influence others more intentionally. My prayer is that it will bring you encouragement and that God will use it to grow you as a leader in your sphere of influence. –Kay
