Synopses & Reviews
Occult influences march freely across the American landscape today. From "Pokemon cards"and "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" to Marilyn Manson and psychic hotlines, the nation is under siege. Occult beliefs-presented as the path to enlightenment and peace-permeate our society, powerfully influencing our children, our neighbors, our government and even our churches. Cindy Jacobs reveals the deadly impact of Satan's dominion over the media and the resulting rise in violence and immorality that plague our society. She then shows how through prayer, spiritual warfare and activism we can halt the destructive advance of the devil's kingdom in the land.

Women of Destiny is one of the most anointed, inspirational and informative books I have ever read—period. Every pastor should read this outstanding book.

Cindy Jacobs brings clarity and insight to the controversy surrounding a woman’s place in ministry. Delicately, yet boldly, she presents a fresh, historical and biblical interpretation of God’s Word on the issues facing today’s woman of destiny.

I can’t think of anyone more qualified today to write about the importance of women in ministry than Cindy Jacobs. Women of Destiny lays a solid theological basis for women in ministry and will encourage thousands to join in the harvest.

Cindy Jacobs has written a powerful book that will impact the whole Church, particularly in its attitudes toward women in ministry. I highly recommend Women of Destiny to men as well as women, especially to pastors who can strategically encourage gifted women to become all that God has destined them to be.

Every woman who is struggling with God’s call on her life should read Women of Destiny. Every man who questions a woman’s call need only read it with an open heart and mind. A vital contribution to the literature of gender reconciliation, this book is biblically sound and long-awaited.

Review
Women of Destiny is destined to greatly bless the Body of Christ. Of all that has been written or said on the subject, Cindy Jacobs comes closest to expressing God’s true thoughts concerning His own creation called “woman.” Thank you, Cindy, for lovingly and boldly co-laboring with Christ in setting all of God’s creation free.
Bill Hamon
Founder and President, Christian International Ministries Network, Santa Rosa Beach, Florida
As the Holy Spirit labors over the Church to bring forth reconciliation among believers, our focus has been on racial or denominational issues that separate God’s people. All the while, however, the greatest single issue of unbiblical discrimination has been the widespread posturing against women in ministry. Cindy Jacobs’s voice deserves to be heard—and taken seriously. It just may be another gentle whisper of the Spirit saying, “Open your hearts wider.”
Jack W. Hayford
Founding Pastor, The Church On The Way, Van Nuys, California, President, The Kings University, Los Angeles, California
Women of Destiny is bursting with passion for people and for the advance of the kingdom of God. Women will be affirmed and men will be challenged. I am grateful for Cindy’s contribution to the growing body of literature on gender equality in Christian ministry and leadership.

Women of Destiny is an open door of opportunity for the Church. Step through and re-learn what God’s plan for every woman has always been. Cindy Jacobs provides illustrations from Scripture, history and her own personal life to illuminate God’s desire for His daughters.
Dennis D. Lindsay
President, Christ For The Nations, Dallas, Texas
In Women of Destiny, Cindy Jacobs bares her soul and shares her own struggles in answering God’s call on her life into ministry. She speaks to women in the pews—those who may not take the time or have the inclination to study the theological questions regarding the role of women in ministry—and encourages them to accept God’s call on their lives.

Author and Senior Associate of Women of Global Action, Colorado Springs, Colorado
Cindy Jacobs has done it again! She has produced what we’re sure will become a classic—a book that releases women to the higher destinies for which God has created them.

Review
In Women of Destiny, Cindy Jacobs has dared to bring up the “woman” issue, which churches have swept under the carpet for generations. Fine-tuned through careful research, she has written a classic that should be read by men as well as women. It’s liberating for both sexes.

Women of Destiny is an honest, insightful and scripturally sound book that erases any need for women to view themselves as second-class citizens in the church.

God has a wonderful plan for every woman. Cindy Jacobs helps women to throw off the shackles of despair, discouragement, guilt and shame to walk in the freedom that God has designed for them.

In a day when there is considerable confusion over gender issues in the church and in the home, Cindy Jacobs cuts through the fog like a spiritual laser beam. No other book I know on this subject matches the superb combination of biblical and pastoral integrity of Women of Destiny.
C. Peter Wagner

With balance, sensitivity, wisdom and integrity, Cindy Jacobs brings great insight to a very controversial subject. Lay aside your paradigm for a time and allow Women of Destiny to further enlighten you to God’s plan for all of us—both women and men.
