You Matter More Than You Think

By Dr. Leslie Parrott

Whether or not she considers herself a “leader,” every woman will love this personal guide toward a life of purpose. Additional materials make it a perfect resource for your small group or Women’s Ministries leadership team!

Book

“How can I make a difference when some days I can’t even find my keys?” asks Dr. Leslie Parrott in her honest book, You Matter More than You Think: What a Woman Needs to Know About the Difference She Makes (Zondervan, 2006). Dr. Parrott shares a lesson that took most of her lifetime to learn—that every random piece of her fragmented past and present has great potential for making a difference. She writes to every woman who longs to be more than part of the mainstream—whether married or single, restless or content, wounded or strong.

Small Group Materials

You Matter More Than You Think In addition to the book, an exciting six-session video Bible study will guide your small group in discovering how each hodgepodge piece of their lives is a treasure. Available at http://www.bluefishtv.com, the Bible study includes eight hardcover books, eight workbooks, a leader’s guide, and a two-disc DVD set.

Each video session includes powerful testimonies and teaching, leading your group into a time of meaningful Bible study and discussion. The leader’s guide gives step-by-step instructions for leading group discussion, as well as deeper insights into the principles taught. Each participant will treasure her own workbook, which includes plenty of space for notes.
